A set of color transforms in a graphics pipeline that are requested by a plurality of applications can be determined. At least one of the set of color transforms or an ordering of the set of color transforms can be modified, based on one or more arbitration rules, to generate an arbitrated set of color transforms. The visual content can be generated for display based at least in part on applying the arbitrated set of color transforms in the graphics pipeline.

Abstract: A mechanism to help avoid operational failures with respect to mobile network operator (MNO) service profiles on embedded universal integrated circuit cards (eUICCs). A profile management system or other entity detects operational failures associated with MNO service profiles and responsively provides new MNO service profiles selected to help avoid recurrence of the operational failures. For instance, the profile management system could detect an operational failure that occurred on a given mobile device and could responsively provide a replacement MNO service profile for installation on that device. Further, the profile management system could detect a trend where such failures occur with respect to MNO service profiles from a first source (e.g., first vendor) on eUICCs from a second source (e.g., a second vendor) and could responsively take action to help avoid such a combination of MNO service profile and eUICC, so as to help avoid recurrence of the operational failures.

Abstract: A universal integrated circuit card (UICC) smart card is disclosed. The UICC smart card comprises a processor, a non-transitory memory, a call control application stored in the non-transitory memory, and an application stored in the non-transitory memory.

Abstract: An eUICC is configured with one or more master delete keys each allowing an associated level of profile-deletion access for deleting one or more profiles from the eUICC, and the eUICC is configured to control profile-deletion access in accordance with the one or more delete keys. For instance, one delete key could allow deletion of any or all profiles on the eUICC including any operational profiles (e.g., MNO profiles) and any non-operational profiles. Whereas, another delete key could allow deletion of any or all operational profiles but not any non-operational profiles. Further, a blockchain protocol could be used to securely convey such a delete key from one party to another, helping to establish chain of custody of the delete key.
