Abstract: Digital audio signal processing techniques used to provide an acoustic transparency function in a pair of headphones. A number of transparency filters can be computed at once, using optimization techniques or using a closed form solution, which are based on multiple re-seatings of the headphones and that are as a result robust for a population of wearers. In another embodiment, a transparency hearing filter of a headphone is computed by an adaptive system that takes into consideration the changing acoustic to electrical path between an earpiece speaker and an interior microphone of that headphone while worn by a user. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: Participant systems in an audiovisual (AV) conferencing can, in one embodiment, use methods to ensure that all participants have a common platform to support AV conferencing, such as a common codec, and also attempt to provide higher quality AV conferencing (e.g., better than the common codec) based on available bandwidth and other criteria. The participant systems can use the common codec as a fallback platform when bandwidth or other criteria dictate a reduction in the quality of the AV conferencing. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Abstract: A camera module with sticky epoxy and method for dislodging particles from a corresponding IR filter. Particles, formed during manufacture or use of the camera, may accumulate in the camera (e.g., on an infrared filter) causing blemishes in camera images. A sticky epoxy with characteristics for attracting and capturing particles is located in the camera. The epoxy may be located in a gap between a substrate and an outside edge of an infrared filter coupled to the substrate. The epoxy and the gap may surround the infrared filter and the epoxy may also be located on other surfaces of the camera. A process for loosening particles from the infrared filter includes driving an actuator that moves the substrate/infrared filter assembly (perhaps striking a base assembly) to loosen the particles from the infrared filter such that the particles are moved to, and trapped by, the epoxy.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device displays an incoming call user interface in response to receiving an indication of an incoming call. In some embodiments, the incoming call user interface is displayed overlaid on a respective user interface that is optionally associated with an application other than the application associated with the incoming call.

Abstract: In an example method, a user equipment (UE) device determines one or more component carriers available to the UE device for at least one of transmitting or receiving data over a wireless network. The UE device transmits, to the wireless network, for each component carrier, an indication whether the component carrier supports at least one of transmitting or receiving data according to a multi-transmission and receiving points (multi-TRP) communication protocol.

Abstract: Managing the display of an electronic device includes receiving an instruction to activate an enhanced state of the display and obtaining a current operating value of the display operating in a base state. An enhanced operating value is determined for the display based on the current operating value and a power budget allocated to the display. The enhanced operating value may be greater than the current operating value and is less than a maximum operating value of the display in the enhanced state. The display is instructed to operate in the enhanced state at the enhanced operating value.

Abstract: A computer system displays a first view of a three-dimensional environment including a first representation of a first portion of a physical environment. While displaying the first view, the computer system detects movement of a first user from a first location to a second location of the physical environment, and in response: if the second location corresponds to a first type of exercise, the computer system replaces at least a portion of a second representation of a second portion of the physical environment that includes the second location with virtual content corresponding to the first type of exercise; and if the second location corresponds to a second type of exercise, the computer system replaces at least a portion of a third representation of a third portion of the physical environment that includes the second location with virtual content corresponding to the second type of exercise.

Abstract: A computer system displays a first user interface object with a first appearance at a first position in a first view of a three-dimensional environment that is at least partially shared between a first and second user. While displaying the first user interface object, the computer system detects a first user input by the first user. In response to detecting the first user input: in accordance with a determination that the second user is not currently interacting with the first user interface object, the computer system performs a first operation; and in accordance with a determination that the second user is currently interacting with the first user interface object, the computer system displays a visual indication, that the first user interface object is not available for interaction, including changing an appearance or position of the first user interface object, and forgoes performing the first operation.

Abstract: This relates to systems and processes for using a virtual assistant to arbitrate among and/or control electronic devices. In one example process, a first electronic device samples an audio input using a microphone. The first electronic device broadcasts a first set of one or more values based on the sampled audio input. Furthermore, the first electronic device receives a second set of one or more values, which are based on the audio input, from a second electronic device. Based on the first set of one or more values and the second set of one or more values, the first electronic device determines whether to respond to the audio input or forego responding to the audio input.

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. In one example, a plurality of data items selected by a user are received, wherein a plurality of confidence values corresponding to the plurality of data items are identified. The plurality of data items is ordered. The first data item is displayed, and updated context information associated with the electronic device is received. An update to the plurality of confidence values is detected, wherein the updated plurality of confidence values includes a third confidence value associated with a third data item of the plurality of ordered data items. In accordance with a determination that the third confidence value is higher than a first confidence value of the first data item, an order of the plurality of ordered data items is modified, and the third data item of the plurality of ordered data items is displayed.
