  • Patent number: 11100891
    Abstract: An electronic device using an under-display fingerprint identification technology and a waking method of the electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a display panel, a central processing unit and a fingerprint sensing module. The electronic device executes an operating system. When the central processing unit and the operating system are in a power-saving mode, the fingerprint sensing module enters a default operation mode and the display panel enters an always-on display mode. Then, the fingerprint sensing module senses a specified region of the display panel to acquire a first image. If the content of the first image contains an image of a finger, the fingerprint sensing module issues an interrupt signal to the central processing unit. Consequently, the central processing unit is woken up from the power-saving mode and the operating system is woken up.

  • Patent number: 10257760
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for inter-RAT bearer change for the 3GPP network. In one novel aspect, a bearer termination procedure is performed upon detecting one or more triggering events for the inter-RAT bearer modification. In one embodiment, the UE established the 4G EPS bearer. The UE successfully performs a bearer change from 4G to 3G. Subsequently, the UE detects missing mandatory parameters during inter-RAT bearer change from 3G to 2G in an idle state. The UE performs bearer termination by releasing the PDP context. In one embodiment, the PDP context is locally released. In other embodiments, the UE explicitly releases bearer using the PDP context deactivation procedure. The locally released procedure can be triggered by the UE, or by the network, or by both the UE and the network. The explicitly PDP context release procedure can be triggered by the UE, or by the network, or by both the UE and the network.
