  • Publication number: 20250060979
    Abstract: An Android-based system for touch input handling is provided. The system includes an interactive hardware and an application processor. The interactive hardware includes a display panel and a touch panel that runs a touch firmware. The application processor is coupled to the interactive hardware, and runs an application program and a touch driver. The application processor further converts a hardware synchronization signal of the display panel into a software synchronization signal, and generates an application synchronization signal based on the software synchronization signal. Additionally, the application processor further generates an input synchronization signal that is synchronized with the application synchronization signal. The expiration of the input synchronization signal triggers the touch firmware to collect the touch event and propagate the touch event up to the application program through the touch driver.

  • Patent number: 12231204
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to performing beam failure recovery during an inter-cell connection involving a UE in communication with one or more base stations in a cellular communication system. In various embodiments, a user equipment determines one or more beam failures by monitoring one or more reference signals transmitted by one or more base stations, where the UE is connected to the one or more base stations. The UE further performs candidate beam detection by monitoring at least one candidate reference signal that is transmitted by one or more candidate base stations, where at least one candidate base station (a first candidate base station) is different from the one or more base stations to which the UE was previously communicating. The UE selects the first candidate base station based on the candidate beam detection, and transmits a beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) message to the first candidate base station based on the selection.
