  • Publication number: 20180310145
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus enabling positioning processes performed by user equipment. The method may include initiating a voice call over a first wireless communications network using a first radio access technology (RAT). The method may also include a connection between the user equipment and a second wireless communications network using a second RAT being placed into an idle state. The method may also include participating in a control plane positioning process with the second wireless communications network during the voice call over the first wireless communications network.

  • Patent number: 10090926
    Abstract: An example of a method of processing visible light signals includes determining a property of light received from a light source at a device; determining a mode of operation of the device based on the property of the light, the mode of operation corresponding to a color discrimination capability of at least one image sensor of the device; detecting the light, using the at least one image sensor in the determined mode of operation, to produce a plurality of detection signals, the at least one image sensor including a plurality of pixels and each detection signal of the plurality of detection signals being associated with a respective pixel of the plurality of pixels; and extracting information from the plurality of detection signals.

  • Publication number: 20180227789
    Abstract: If a user is using a second device and wants to manage and/or perform certain operations of the user device, the user may experience inconvenience from shifting the user's attention to the user device. Therefore, an intelligent approach to enable the user to manage and/or perform an operation of the user device on the second device. According to an aspect of the disclosure. the apparatus may be a user device for managing a device operation. The user device determines user activity context information associated with a plurality of devices, the plurality of devices including the user device and at least one second user device. The user device selects at least one device from the plurality of devices based on the user activity context information. The user device forwards an operation of the user device to the selected at least one device to perform the operation at the selected at least one device.

  • Publication number: 20180184452
    Abstract: An example of a method of operating a mobile device includes obtaining positioning signal timing information that indicates a plurality of times when the mobile device will receive positioning signals from one or more base stations associated with a first subscription to a first wireless network; obtaining tune-away information that indicates when a first receiver of the mobile device is scheduled to tune away from the first subscription to receive signals using a second subscription to a second wireless network; and implementing a collision-reduction measure in response to an expected number of collisions meeting a criterion. The expected number of collisions is a number of instances that positioning signals are expected not to be received by the mobile device based on the positioning signal timing information and the tune-away information.
