    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to gaze-dependent visual encryption of electronic device displays. Each display frame that is displayed on the electronic device display may include a clear-display region around the user's gaze location and an obscured region outside the clear-display region. In this way, only the display content that the user is actively viewing is recognizable and understandable and an onlooker such as an unwanted observer looking over the user's shoulder is unable to understand what is displayed. The obscured region of each display frame may be generated such that the overall look and structure of that region is unchanged, but the content is unintelligible. In this way, the visual experience of the user is not disrupted or distracted by the visual encryption and the eye of the onlooker is not guided to the clear-display region by the visual encryption.

    Abstract: An efficient satellite vehicle (SV) tracking mode that, when utilized by user equipment (UE), consumes less power and/or computing resources of the UE than a default SV tracking mode of tracking all visible SV, while maintaining consistent signal quality and/or positional, navigational, and/or timing information accuracy standards. Furthermore, use of the efficient SV tracking mode may be determined and implemented based on a signal environment associated with a location of the UE. In particular, the efficient SV tracking mode may be associated with a location based on a determination that signal quality thresholds are met during use of the efficient SV tracking mode at the location. Additionally or alternatively, the location may be associated with a geofenced area. The geofenced area may define a geographical area corresponding to implementation of the efficient SV tracking mode by a UE located within the geofenced area.

    Abstract: A receiver device includes a first antenna, a second antenna, a first receiver, a second receiver, and processing circuitry. The first receiver is coupled to the first antenna and configured to receive a first signal from a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellite via the first antenna. The second receiver is coupled to the second antenna and configured to receive a second signal indicative of a secondary code boundary corresponding to a secondary code in the first signal from a second receiver device via the second antenna. The processing circuitry is configured to receive a primary code by removing the secondary code from the first signal based on the secondary code boundary, perform coherent integration on the primary code, and output a geographic position of the receiver device based on the coherent integration.

    Abstract: A device is configured to receive signals from a first network and one of transmit signals to or receive signals from a second network. The device is further configured to determine whether at least one parameter related to the first network satisfies a predetermined condition, when the at least one parameter satisfies the predetermined condition, monitoring a degradation of signals received from the first network when an aggressor of the second network is present relative to signals received from the first network when the aggressor is absent and determining a setting to subsequently utilize the first network when the aggressor is present based, at least in part, on the degradation.
