  • Patent number: 11960709
    Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for displaying active friend information, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method for displaying the active friend information includes receiving an activity information checking instruction, where the activity information checking instruction is generated when a user triggers an entry control on a message page; and displaying an active friend list, where the active friend list displays activity information of an active friend of the user, and the active friend is a friend who is online in a recent preset time period. In this manner, a process of checking the active friend information is simplified and the time spent on checking the active friend information is shortened.

  • Publication number: 20240104932
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can access a plurality of parameter-based encodings providing a structured representation of an environment captured by one or more sensors associated with a plurality of vehicles traveling through the environment. A given parameter-based encoding of the environment identifies one or more agents that were detected by a vehicle within the environment and respective location information for the one or more agents within the environment. The plurality of parameter-based encodings can be clustered into one or more clusters of parameter-based encodings. At least one scenario associated with the environment can be determined based at least in part on the one or more clusters of parameter-based encodings.

  • Patent number: 9983291
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and devices are disclosed to estimate a position of a mobile device using, for example, beacon signals transmitted using virtual access points utilizing a single, physical transceiver. Determination that beacon signals emanate from a single, physical transceiver may be based, at least in part, on a similarity among acquired beacon signals conveying identifiers, such as media access control identification (MAC ID) addresses and/or basic service set identifiers (BSSIDs), and on measurement of beacon signal characteristics, such as received signal strength at a mobile device and/or round trip time between the mobile device and the transceiver.

  • Patent number: 9588216
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing positioning assistance data are provided. An exemplary method includes receiving, from a positioning server, virtual access point (VAP) data including a list of unique identifiers, and determining a location of a mobile device by using the VAP. The VAP data indicates that the unique identifiers included on the list identify signals originating from the same physical access point. The unique identifiers can be MAC addresses. In an example, the location determining the can include actively scanning a signal identified by a unique identifier on the list and not actively scanning a different signal identified by a different unique identifier also on the list. Not scanning the other MAC addresses that are on the access point's list and assigned to the mobile device keeps the mobile device from performing duplicative scanning that wastes time, processor cycles, and energy.

  • Patent number: 9329036
    Abstract: Various techniques are provided which may be implemented as methods, apparatuses and articles of manufacture for use by a mobile device. In certain example implementations, a mobile device may process a barometric pressure measurement indicative of an altitude effect and a weather effect to determine a first parameter corresponding to the altitude effect and a second parameter corresponding to the weather. Such a mobile device may further determine whether it may be transitioning or may have transitioned from an initial level to another level of a multiple level structure based, at least in part, on the first and second parameters.
