Abstract: An interface of an electronic device may be locked in accordance with an authorization confidence level indicating a likelihood that the electronic device is in the possession of an authorized user of the electronic device. Multiple signals may be detected using one or more sensors of an electronic device. The authorization confidence level may be automatically determined using the detected signals. The electronic device may be configured to have a security timeout based at least in part on the authorization confidence level. In some examples, collection(s) of signals may be detected using one or more sensors of an electronic device. A confidence history may be updated using the collection(s) of signals. In response to a match of the confidence history to a stored locking condition, a user interface of the electronic device may be locked.

Abstract: A mobile device having capabilities to access connections to cellular and Wi-Fi portions of a hybrid telecommunications network is configured to display a variety of different icons that graphically indicate a current connection status for both data usage and voice calling on a graphical user interface (GUI). A user can put the GUI into an expanded state to show additional information about the connection status including textual descriptions of icons to instruct the user as to the specific meaning of a given icon. The textual descriptions enable an association between the iconography and the connection state to be established for the user. The icons can then quickly and effectively convey connection state to the user in a comprehensive manner while efficiently using the available display space on the device.
