The first electronic device automatically disables the voice call translation function.

Abstract: A payment processing apparatus and a system or a method are provided that have a location-agnostic payment code, where the user does not have to check in to the merchant's location. Further, the reliance on the network connection is reduced by caching or storing payment codes at the user's mobile device. The payment codes may have expiration and may be used once. The payment codes may be revoked or canceled if the user's mobile device is compromised or stolen. In an embodiment, the payment codes may be generated and provided to the user's mobile device when the payment application at the user's mobile device is refreshed. For example, the payment application is refreshed based on user's payment history or payment habits. In another embodiment, the payment codes may be generated and provided to the user's mobile device when the user is within a predetermined distance from a merchant.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for equipment networking, and equipment. Equipment acquires at least one of first information indicating a state of the equipment or second information indicating a state of peer equipment. The equipment determines whether a pre-set condition is met by at least one of the first information or the second information. When the pre-set condition is met by at least one of the first information or the second information, the equipment forms a group with the peer equipment. The equipment monitors data characterizing a signal transmitted by the peer equipment. When a first pre-set condition is not met by the data characterizing the signal transmitted by the peer equipment, the equipment quits the group formed with the peer equipment.

Abstract: An approach is proposed to support version control for integrating updated web-based components with a native application of a mobile device. A new version of a mini app is received at an application version control module configured to control versioning of the mini app and the native application, wherein the mini app includes one or more web-based features in JavaScript to be integrated with the native application. Version compatibility checks are performed to confirm that the new version of the mini app only contains native dependencies that match with a version of the native application the version of the mini app depends on. The new version of the mini app is integrated with the native application into the target mobile application if the version compatibility checks pass. Finally, the target mobile application is uploaded to an app store to make the target mobile application available to an end user.

Abstract: A padlock device includes a housing; a shackle associated within the housing and having, with respect to the housing, a closed configuration and an open configuration; a latch subsystem associated with the housing for securely retaining the shackle in the closed configuration, the latch subsystem electrically operable to release the shackle; a biometric sensor associated with the housing to electronically sense fingerprint data from a finger being sensed; a control subsystem in the housing in communication with the biometric sensor and the latch subsystem, the control subsystem comprising: internal processor-readable memory configured to store one or more fingerprint records, each fingerprint record comprising authorized fingerprint data associated with a respective fingerprint identifier; processing structure configured to receive sensed fingerprint data from the biometric sensor and to cause the latch subsystem to release the shackle in the event of a release condition requiring at least that the sensed fin

Abstract: An approach is proposed to support automatic API generation for integration of web-based components with a native application. First, mini apps are included in a container, wherein the mini apps are web-based features assembled together as a bundle of JavaScript assets to be integrated with the native application on a mobile device. A set of APIs to the mini apps are then automatically generated based on pre-defined schemas in native code specific to the platform of the mobile device and merged with the mini apps into the container. The container is published to a repository at a central, team shared, location and imported to the mobile device for integration with the native application. Finally, a target mobile application is created by integrating the mini apps with the native application on the mobile device via the APIs, wherein the target mobile application is uploaded and made available to an end user.

Abstract: An approach is proposed to support cross-platform information exchange mechanism for integration of web-based components with a native application. First, mini apps are imported to a platform of a mobile device, wherein the mini apps are web-based features assembled and packaged together in JavaScript to be deployed to and integrated with the application native to the platform. A bridge enables bi-directional communication between the mini apps in JavaScript and the native to the platform by marshalling native code of the native application into a JavaScript project to be integrated with the imported mini apps and un-marshalling the mini apps in JavaScript to the native code of the native application. The mini apps are then integrated with the native application on the mobile device over the bridge to create a target mobile application, which is uploaded to an app store to make the target mobile application available to an end user.

Abstract: An output short to ground protection circuit protects an electronic device when it is short circuited to ground. The protection circuit has an NMOS transistor coupled to the output power transistor. A fixed voltage generator is connected to a gate terminal of the NMOS transistor. A first voltage clamping circuit and a second voltage clamping circuit are provided. The voltage clamping circuits are utilized so as to limit the current outputted by the output power transistor when the short circuit occurs.
