Abstract:
A method may involve controlling, via a control system, the apparatus to provide a first prompt to place a digit on an outer surface of the apparatus in a fingerprint sensor system area. The method may involve determining, via the control system, a digit force or a digit pressure of the digit on the outer surface of the apparatus. The method may involve controlling, via the control system, the apparatus to provide a second prompt corresponding to the digit force or the digit pressure.
Abstract:
When communications of a single radio access technology (RAT), or different radio access technologies in a proximate communication spectrum are operating at the same time, potential interference between devices may occur. To reduce the interference, the time division duplex (TDD) configuration of one or more conflicting device may be altered. For example, at the edge of a communication region, TDD configurations used by edge base stations to communicate with mobile devices may be set to reduce interference. As another example, communications of a first device may be altered so the first device schedules uplink communications when a second device also has uplink communications scheduled. Other configurations may also be implemented.
Abstract:
An apparatus may include a cover layer, a layer of first metamaterial proximate (or in) the cover layer, a light source system configured for providing light to the layer of first metamaterial and a receiver system. The first metamaterial may include nanoparticles configured to create ultrasonic waves when illuminated by light. The receiver system may include an ultrasonic receiver system configured to receive ultrasonic waves reflected from a target object in contact with, or proximate, a surface of the cover layer. The control system may be configured to receive ultrasonic receiver signals from the ultrasonic receiver system corresponding to the ultrasonic waves reflected from the target object and to perform an authentication process and/or an imaging process that is based, at least in part, on the ultrasonic receiver signals.
Abstract:
A method may involve obtaining a latent fingerprint on a surface, storing the latent fingerprint, obtaining a live fingerprint on the surface, and authenticating the live fingerprint based in part on the stored latent fingerprint and in part on previously-authenticated fingerprint data. The method may involve rejecting authentication of the live fingerprint as a potential spoof, if the live fingerprint matches the latent fingerprint under a relatively strict correlation test. The method may also involve, when the live fingerprint doesn't closely match the latent fingerprint, granting authentication of the live fingerprint if the live fingerprint matches the previously-authenticated fingerprint data under a relatively loose correlation test.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to control of a user device under a wet condition. In some aspects, a user device may determine whether the user device is operating under a wet condition; select, based at least in part on whether the user device is operating under the wet condition, a set of input components to control the user device, wherein the set of input components is selected from a plurality of different sets of input components; and configure a user interface of the user device according to the set of input components. Numerous other aspects are provided.
