Abstract: A first communication device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to receive, during a first call with a second communication device, an indication of a second call from a third communication device. The processor is further configured to monitor the first call, in response to the indication of the second call, for a pause in speech of at least a threshold duration. The processor is further configured to initiate, in response to detecting the pause in speech of at least the threshold duration, an audio message indicating call information associated with the second call.

Abstract: A device includes a memory and a processor. The memory is configured to store a first threshold. The processor is configured to determine an audio interference metric based on detecting a keyword in a first audio input. The processor is also configured to perform a comparison of the audio interference metric to the first threshold. The processor is further configured to initiate, based on the comparison, transmission of a first instruction to a second device to cause the second device to reduce an output sound level.

Abstract: A method of operation of a first device associated with a first user includes sending a communication to a second device associated with a second user. The communication is sent in response to detecting one or more conditions associated with delaying one or more notifications at a plurality of devices that includes the first device and the second device. The communication is associated with a timing window during which the one or more notifications are to be delayed. The method further includes delaying, during the timing window, generation of a first notification at the first device. The method further includes generating, in response to determining expiration of the timing window, generating the first notification at the first device.

Abstract: A method of initiating a communication includes detecting, at a mobile device, that a button is being pressed. The method also includes generating sensor information associated with a finger in response to a determination that the finger is pressing the button. The sensor information indicates at least a duration that the finger is pressing the button. The method further includes initiating the communication with a particular contact of a plurality of contacts using contact information for the particular contact. The particular contact is selected based on at least the duration.

Abstract: Various methods for performing package deliveries by a robotic vehicle may include determining whether an individual at a package delivery location is a requester or an authorized recipient of a package to be delivered by the robotic vehicle at the package delivery location, sending a notification to the requester of the package in response to determining that the individual at the package delivery location is not the requester or an authorized recipient, and delivering the package to the individual at the package delivery location in response to receiving authorization from the requester to deliver the package to the individual.

Abstract: In currently available user equipment (UE), the significantly more number of pixels in the 4K ultra high definition (UHD) display mode demands more processing power and consumes more battery charge than the 1080p high definition (HD) display mode or the standard resolution display mode. However, in low brightness, there is no perceived difference in display image quality among very high resolution (e.g., UHD), high resolution (e.g., HD) or standard resolution display modes, when viewed by the naked human eye. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus for reducing battery drain of a UE are provided. The apparatus determines a brightness level of a display screen of the UE. The apparatus also sets a resolution mode of the display screen based on the brightness level.

Abstract: An improved process of production of a chlorinated sugar is described comprising chlorination of a partially protected sugar, wherein quenching as well as neutralization of chlorinated reaction mass is carried out concurrently and continuously in a reactor which is a continuous mixer as well as quencher providing continuous mixing of chlorination reaction mixture and pH adjusting solution and also provides for continuous quenching and continuous removal of quenched chlorinated reaction mixture.
