  • Publication number: 20240412699
    Abstract: A driving control apparatus, a driving control method and a display apparatus. When a display panel is in a power-on state and it is determined that a user leaves the display panel, a backlight stop signal (VBN) is first output, and a voltage stop signal (VPN) is then output. A backlight control circuit (320) stops operating in response to the backlight stop signal. In response to the voltage stop signal, a power switching circuit (330) stops outputting a driving voltage for driving the display panel to display a picture. When determining that the user returns to the front of the display panel, a voltage start signal (VPQ) can first be output, and a backlight start signal (VBQ) is then output. The backlight control circuit starts to operate in response to the backlight start signal. The power switching circuit outputs the driving voltage in response to the voltage start signal.

  • Publication number: 20240414017
    Abstract: Some examples involve an artificial intelligence (AI) system for handling a query about a conversation, such as a conversation between attendees of a videoconferencing meeting. As one example, the system can receive a query from a user about a conversation between attendees of a videoconferencing meeting. The system can determine a relevant portion of the conversation based on the query, determine an intent of the query by providing the query as input to an intent detection model, and select a machine-learning model from among a group of machine-learning models based on the intent of the query. The system can then provide the relevant portion of the conversation as input to the selected machine-learning model. The machine-learning model can generate an output based on the relevant portion of the conversation. The system can transmit the output to the user in a response to the query.

  • Publication number: 20240414776
    Abstract: A method and a device for transmitting capability indication information are disclosed. A user equipment transmits the capability indication information to a network device. The capability indication information is configured to indicate whether the user equipment supports a contention measurement gap for an inter-RAT measurement. In a case that the user equipment supports the contention measurement gap for the inter-RAT measurement, the network device transmits contention measurement gap configuration information to the user equipment, and the user equipment receives the contention measurement gap configuration information. The contention measurement gap configuration information is configured to perform the inter-RAT measurement. In a case that the user equipment does not support the contention measurement gap for the inter-RAT measurement, the network device does not transmit the contention measurement gap configuration information to the user equipment.
