Abstract:
An apparatus and method for desynchronizing notifications across multiple electronic devices are provided. The method includes receiving, by a primary electronic device, a notification, transmitting, by the primary electronic device, the notification to a companion electronic device with which the primary electronic device is synchronized, and desynchronizing a providing of the notification at the companion electronic device.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for managing a voice call in a wireless communication network. The method comprises collecting crowd-sourced data for a voice over long-term evolution (VoLTE) call quality metrics and contexts associated with a VoLTE call. The VoLTE call quality metrics and contexts comprise non-device information and device information. The method further comprises identifying accessible information based on the device information and the non-device information, predicting VoLTE call quality using the collected crowd-sourced data and the accessible information, and determining whether to place the voice call as or switch the voice call to a VoLTE call or a circuit-switched voice call based on comparison of the predicted VoLTE quality to a predetermined threshold.
Abstract:
An apparatus comprises processing circuitry configured to determine that a primary user equipment (UE) entered a vehicle. The processing circuitry is configured to initiates transmission of an entrance notification to a carrier network server notifying that the primary UE entered the vehicle. The processing circuitry is configured to receive an assignment message from the carrier network server. The assignment message indicates that twinning has been configured between the primary UE and the apparatus. The twinning configuration includes a transfer of assignment of a service plan corresponding to the primary UE from the primary UE to the apparatus.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for correlating events in a smart home system as a pattern. The apparatus and method include collecting from smart home devices, state change events of the smart home system, determining whether a series of the collected state change events are a known pattern, requesting, when the series of the collected state change events is an unknown pattern, users of the smart home system to identify what caused the collected state change events, and judging, by the smart home users, a best reason among the identified causes of the collected state change events.
Abstract:
A method, system, and vehicle for locating an occupant within the vehicle. The method includes receiving motion data of a seatbelt for a seat in the vehicle and receiving motion data of a wearable device of the occupant. The method also includes comparing the seatbelt motion data with the wearable device motion data from a same period of time and identifying that the occupant is located at the seat in the vehicle based on a result of the comparison. The method may also include associating the occupant with the vehicle based on location information of the vehicle and location information of the wearable device of the occupant. Additionally, the method may include identifying personalization options for the occupant at the seat based on a user profile of the occupant in response to identifying that the occupant is located at the seat.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for managing a secure print job. The method includes receiving a request for the secure print job. The request is received from a first device associated with a user. The method also includes receiving a document file associated with the secure print job. The method also includes sending a secure token to a second device. The method also includes receiving the secure token from a printer. The method also includes sending the document file to the printer.

Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) for use in a smart home control system is provided. The UE includes a beam forming device configured to transmit a directional signal beam to an electronic device. The directional signal beam includes a credential associated with the UE. The UE also includes a transmitter configured to transmit a command signal including the credential after the beam forming device transmits the directional signal beam to the electronic device. The command signal commands an operation of the electronic device. The UE further includes an input device. The input device is configured to receive a directional signal beam generating input to initiate the transmission of the signal beam. The input device is also configured to receive a command input to initiate the transmission of the command signal.
