  • Patent number: 11997741
    Abstract: A connectivity monitor of a vehicle determines current and/or future states of antennas. A workload monitor of the vehicle receives execution criteria for different workloads to be executed. An intelligent connectivity engine at the vehicle receives the current and/or future states of the antennas and the execution criteria for the respective workloads. Based on the current and/or future states of the antennas and the execution criteria for the respective workloads, the intelligent connectivity engine assigns at least one of the respective workloads for current execution and at least another of the respective workloads for future execution. A client may use an intelligent connectivity service to configure various aspects of the vehicle connectivity. For example, the client can provide workload recommendation code for the intelligent connectivity engine to assign workloads for current or future execution.

  • Patent number: 11994915
    Abstract: A case can provide a mechanism for securely retaining a stylus with a host device while the stylus is not in use. Such a mechanism can maintain the alignment of the stylus with the host device for attachment, power transfer, and/or communication. The mechanism can further protect the stylus from impact or other external influences. The same mechanism can transition to a lower profile while not retaining the stylus (e.g., while the stylus is in use as an input device for the host device). Such a mechanism can selectably be placed into a configuration that substantially conceals the mechanism, such that it can temporarily appear to be a case or portion of the host device that does not necessarily have a dedicated receptacle for retaining the stylus.
