Abstract: In aspects of authentication and operation of a mobile device from a remote device, a remote device activates a remote unlock service (RUS) associated with a mobile device. The remote device receives user input including an authentication indication associated with the RUS. The remote device transmits, and the mobile device receives, the authentication indication while a display of the mobile device is locked. Based on successful authentication of the authentication indication, the mobile device unlocks the display and disables one or more input interfaces of the mobile device. The mobile device receives, from the remote device, requests for operations to be performed by the mobile device, and executes the requests using a hardware display buffer of the mobile device. Based on a result of the one or more operations, the mobile device locks the display and enables the one or more interfaces.

Abstract: A control method includes displaying a first object and a second object and, in response to a moving operation on the first object controlling the first object to move to a target position located within a response area of the second object, controlling a display device to change from a first deformation state to a second deformation state. A first displayable area of the display device in the first deformation state is different from a second displayable area of the display device in the second deformation state.

Abstract: A method in an electronic device includes receiving, by a flexible display carried by a blade assembly that is slidably coupled to a device housing and movable between an extended position and a retracted position, user input.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure address systems and methods for multi-clock prototyping. Data representing an integrated circuit design is accessed. The integrated circuit design comprises multiple partitions and specifies a set of cut nets between a first partition and a second partition. A plurality of clock domains among the set of cut nets is identified. A clock domain comprises a subset of cut nets from the set of cut nets. A multiplexer/demultiplexer pair is assigned to each clock domain. Bandwidth allocations for the plurality of clock domains are computed. The bandwidth allocation for a given clock domain corresponds to a number of links between the first partition and the second partition allocated to a multiplexer/demultiplexer pair assigned to the clock domain. A prototype of the integrated circuit design is implemented based on the bandwidth allocations.

Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product enable screen capture and playback of an extendable display provided by a flexible display coupled across a front side of a flexible display support structure that moves relative to a first housing. A remaining portion of the flexible display either scrolls up or rolls onto a backside of the base housing. A controller of the electronic device determines dimensions of a front display based on data from a position sensor. The controller presents visual content on the flexible display. In response to a trigger to screen record the visual content, the controller records in media file(s) frame(s) of the front display along with position data of the flexible display support structure. For playback, the controller activates the translation mechanism to match the position data and presents the frame(s) on corresponding portions of the flexible display from which the frame(s) was captured.

Abstract: A control method includes: obtaining a configuration parameter in response to a control instruction; and controlling a driver to be in a working state corresponding to the control instruction based on the configuration parameter, the driver being configured to drive a display screen to switch between a first state and a second state based on the configuration parameter being in the working state corresponding to the control instruction; the display screen being in the first state corresponds to a first part of the display screen, and the display screen being in the second state corresponds to a second part of the display screen, the second part including the first part, where the speed represented by the configuration parameter is different, and a time for the display screen to switch between the first state and the second state is different.

Abstract: A method in an electronic device includes establishing, with a communication device, an electrical communication channel with a content presentation companion device. A communication device then queries the content presentation companion device for an identification of an aspect ratio of the content presentation companion device. A translation mechanism then causes a blade assembly carrying a flexible display to slide around a device housing sufficiently to reveal a front-facing area amount of the flexible display having dimensions corresponding to the aspect ratio. The method can also cause the front-facing area amount of the electronic device to match aspect ratios of other electronic device electronically in communication with the content presentation companion device.

Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product enable a space saving rollable display device to extend automatically in a power efficient manner. While a blade assembly is in a retracted position, a controller of the electronic device determines whether a user notification opportunity exists based on a transition between contextual states of one of stationary and changing from unattended to attended by the user; and stowed on-body of the user changing to held by the user. In response, the controller actuates a translation mechanism to slide a blade assembly, which includes a blade and flexible display, relative to a device housing of an electronic device from a retracted position to at least a partially extended position. The actuation prepares the flexible display to present user notification(s) and generates a physical indication to a user that the user notification(s) is available to be presented when the flexible display is active.

Abstract: A method in an electronic device includes detecting, by one or more processors of the electronic device, an operating context of the electronic device. The method then alters, by the one or more processors, one or more of a source file of an audio alert or a playback characteristic of the audio alert as a function of the operating context. The altering can eliminate a mismatch between the audible alert and audio content being delivered by an audio output that the audible alert interrupts. The audio output of the electronic device then delivers the audio alert in response to detecting an audio output triggering event.

Abstract: Dermal treatment compositions include an emollient base, a conditioned medium, and a nanosilver particulate. The conditioned medium may be harvested from culture of human adipocyte-derived stem cells. The stem cells may be cultured in the presence of the nanosilver particulate. In other embodiments, the stem cells are cultured in medium that does not contain a nanosilver particulate. Instead the conditioned medium is compounded with the nanosilver particulate after the media is harvested from the stem cell culture.
