  • Patent number: 12294516
    Abstract: Systems, methods and software for routing of communications sessions with a contact center are disclosed. Messages requesting service that are received by the contact center from devices such as mobile phones are parsed to extract data that is pertinent to coordinating or providing the requested service. In response to the received first message containing such pertinent data, a policy is applied to the first message for routing the associated service request to a service provider based upon the content of the extracted data. In accordance with the applied policy, a second message that includes at least a portion of the pertinent data extracted from the first message is transmitted to the service provider. Embodiments of the disclosure facilitate efficient utilization of scarce personnel and computing resources of both contact centers and service providers to increase the effectiveness of their service coordination and provision.

    Abstract: In some aspects, mobile devices with foldable and rollable displays can use a sensor to detect vertical acceleration with respect to the ground to determine if the mobile device has been dropped. If the sensor detects that the mobile device has been dropped the foldable device can fold or retract at least partially to afford protection from the fragile display from striking the ground. Even folding the display to an angle less than 180 degrees can afford some protection because the mobile device can strike edges of the mobile device instead of the display itself. In various embodiments, a rollable device can retract the display if predetermined acceleration limits are exceeded.

  • Patent number: 12114392
    Abstract: A wireless device, a network node, a core node and methods therein, for managing reachability of the wireless device. The wireless device starts an AS (Access Stratum) reachable timer when entering an inactive state. If the AS reachable timer expires while still in the inactive state, the wireless device sends to the network node a reachable notification indicating that the wireless device is reachable. If entering a connected state before the AS reachable timer expires, the wireless device stops the AS reachable timer when changing from the inactive state to a connected state. If the core node receives from the network node a not reachable notification indicating that the wireless device is not reachable, the wireless device can be marked as not reachable via paging.

  • Patent number: 12106699
    Abstract: A display system supporting a privacy function and a display control method are disclosed. The method includes the following. A first light source driving signal is provided to a display through a first signal path of a switch circuit to drive the display to display a first image in a first display mode. A trigger signal is generated in response to a user operation. A second light source driving signal is provided to the display through a second signal path of the switch circuit in response to the trigger signal to drive the display to display a second image in a second display mode. The first signal path is different from the second signal path. A screen brightness of the display in the second display mode is lower than a screen brightness of the display in the first display mode.

  • Patent number: 12105940
    Abstract: A computer system displays a first version of a first user interface that includes first user interface objects displayed concurrently with a first background. The first user interface objects include content from a first plurality of applications. In response to detecting a first input, when the first input includes movement in a first direction, the system replaces display of the first version of the first user interface with a second user interface that includes representations of a second plurality of applications. When the first input includes second movement in a second direction, the system replaces display of the first version of the first user interface with display of a second version of the first user interface that includes second user interface objects displayed with a second background. The second user interface objects correspond to a third plurality of applications and include content from the third plurality of applications.
