  • Patent number: 12284718
    Abstract: The system receives, from a telecommunications network subscribed to by the wireless device, a list of roaming networks. The system connects to a roaming network from the list of roaming networks. The system enters a roaming mode from a standard mode. The roaming mode reduces the amount of data used by the wireless device by preventing the wireless device from performing background tasks. Background tasks include processes performed by the wireless device to keep an application on the wireless device up to date. The standard mode causes the wireless device to operate at a higher data level and a less optimized battery level compared to the roaming mode. The system connects to the telecommunications network. The wireless device disconnects from the roaming network before connecting to the telecommunications network subscribed to by the wireless device. The system enters the standard mode.

  • Publication number: 20250106738
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a mobile network blacklist for satellite networks. Information indicative of a satellite network can be stored within a mobile network blacklist to prevent the transmission of a wireless access request to the satellite network. When it is determined that no approved network is available to provide a wireless communication service, the information indicative of the satellite network can be removed from the mobile network blacklist to enable the transmission of a wireless access request for the satellite network to provide the wireless communication service. In doing so, the satellite network can provide the wireless communication service when other approved networks are not available to provide the wireless communication service.

  • Publication number: 20230354027
    Abstract: The system receives an indication of a sensitive operation. The system obtains a unique ID of a user's UE. Based on the unique ID of the UE, the system retrieves a visual authentication method including a visual ID. The system records the visual ID, and retrieves a corresponding stored visual ID. The system performs a liveness check associated with the visual ID, to determine whether the visual ID is a recording or a live version of the visual ID. Upon determining that the visual ID is the recording, the system refuses to authenticate the user. Upon determining that the visual ID is the live version of the visual ID, the system compares the visual ID and the corresponding stored visual ID to determine whether the visual ID and the corresponding stored visual ID match. Upon determining that the visual ID and the corresponding stored visual ID match, the system authenticates the user.
