    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for transitioning a UE to a new application server in response to a mobility event comprising, at a source application server handler: receiving an application ID (AC-ID) associated with an application client for a user equipment (UE); receiving a mobility event notification including a UE ID of the UE and a target data network access identifier (DNAI) to indicate a target edge data network to which a transition of a data connection for the application client is to be performed; encoding an outgoing transition request for transmission to a source application server to indicate the transition of the data connection from the source application server; and encoding an incoming transition request for transmission to a target application server handler (ASH) of the target edge data network to indicate the transition of the data connection to the target edge data network.

    Abstract: A display may include an array of pixels. Each pixel in the array includes an organic light-emitting diode coupled to a drive transistor, a data loading transistor, a first capacitor for storing data charge, and a second capacitor. During a data programming phase, the data loading transistor may be activated to load in a data value onto the first capacitor. After the data programming phase, the second capacitor may be configured to receive a lower voltage, which extends a threshold voltage sampling time for the pixel. Configured and operated in this way, the temperature luminance sensitivity of the display can be reduced.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for utilizing a virtual assistant as part of a communication session. One or more of the participant users can select to utilize a virtual assistant to assist the participant users with tasks during the communication session. A user can use a communication application to enter a message directed to the virtual assistant. The virtual assistant can analyze the entered message and determine that the message was directed to the virtual assistant rather than to the other participants of the communication session. As a result, the message will not be transmitted to the other participants of the communication session and the virtual assistant will assist the user with the identified task.

    Abstract: An example method of displaying a maps application across multiple displays occurs at a first device that is in communication with a second device. The method includes, generating for the maps application a first user interface and information for generating a second user interface. The method also includes displaying, at a first display of the first device, the first user interface associated with a location on a map, wherein the first user interface includes a first perspective view of the location on the map, and transmitting the information for generating a second user interface to the second device so that a second display of the second device displays a second user interface that includes a second perspective view of the location on the map in the maps application, where the second perspective view is different from the first perspective view.

    Abstract: A head-mounted device may include one or more adjustable lens elements. The adjustable lens element may include a transparent substrate, a collapsible wall that forms an enclosed perimeter on the transparent substrate, and a flexible membrane on the collapsible wall that together define an interior volume. The interior volume may be filled with a fluid. The adjustable lens element may include a lens shaping component that applies a force to the collapsible wall to adjust a height of the collapsible wall relative to the transparent substrate, which in turn may be used to adjust the shape of the flexible membrane and thus the lens power of the lens element. The collapsible wall may have bellows that allow the collapsible wall to fold on itself when compressed, thereby minimizing unintended lateral movement of the collapsible wall.

    Abstract: An apparatus can include a first image sensor having a first field of view (FOV) and configured to capture a first image, a second image sensor having a second FOV and configured to capture a second image, an image statistics collection subsystem configured to gather first image statistics information associated with the first image and to gather second image statistics information associated with the second image, a disparity detection subsystem configured to compare the first image statistics information with the second image statistics information, and image signal processing blocks configured to synchronize processing of the first and second images based on the comparison of the first image statistics information with the second image statistics information. Processing of the first and second images can involve using one or more combined image signal processing control parameters based on image statistics information within an overlapping FOV and/or a within a total FOV.
