Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for biometric identification are provided. The apparatus may be a user device. The apparatus may detect biometric information for a predetermined period of time. The predetermined period of time may be set by a hysteresis timer. The apparatus may compare the detected biometric information with stored biometric information associated with a stored user profile of a plurality of user profiles. The apparatus may then determine whether to display the stored user profile based on the comparison after the predetermined period of time has elapsed.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided that facilitate providing one or more profiles to an application executing on a device. The application can request one or more profiles, which can relate to an application type. The application type can be specified in the profile request, determined based on a profile indicated in the profile request, etc. Where the application type corresponds to an operator-specific application type, one or more operator identifiers in the profile request can be verified with one or more other operator identifiers in an identity module of the device. Where the operator identifiers match, the requested profile can be provided to the application. Where the operator identifiers do not match, an invalid profile, error code, etc. can be provided to the application. In this regard, operators can control utilization of specific profiles that can be defined by the operator.
Abstract:
A device may be configured to alert a user while the user is listening to audio over headphones. For example, the device may be configured to alert the user of the device, such as by reducing the volume of an audio signal output through the headphones and/or by providing a visual alert to the user on a display of the device. The device may compare a volume level of an outputted audio signal to a threshold. The device may activate a microphone based on the comparison of the volume level to the threshold. When the microphone is activated, the device may provide an alert to a user based on a determination that a received audio signal includes a portion that corresponds to a predetermined value.

Abstract:
Examples include systems and methods for managing multi-active communication on a multi-subscription multi-standby (MSMS) communication device. The device processor may change a first protocol stack of a first subscription and a second protocol stack of a second subscription of the MSMS communication device to a multi-active mode in response to determining that all of one or more packet data network connections of the first subscription are transferred to a Wi-Fi communication link.
Abstract:
An opportunistic receive diversity scheme for VAMOS and similar deployments is disclosed. Receive diversity may be conditionally enabled when a VAMOS call is assigned to one of the SIMs of a mobile device. For example, receive diversity may be enabled when VAMOS data does not overlap with a time slot that is used by another subscription of the mobile device for receiving page messages. Also, receive diversity for a VAMOS call may be limited to situations where the VAMOS channel conditions are poor. Receive diversity may be enabled in cases where multiple subscriptions are assigned the same VAMOS channel, where VAMOS channel conditions have deteriorated, or where one of the subscriptions is not on a VAMOS channel. Also, receive diversity may be dynamically enabled for multiple subscriptions in cases where the subscriptions are assigned to different VAMOS channels.
Abstract:
A particular method includes receiving first data via a first network at a device that is configured to receive the first data via the first network based on a first wireless communication subscription and is configured to receive second data via a second network based on a second wireless communication subscription. The method also includes while receiving the first data, determining that a tuneaway period associated with the second network has passed, where the tuneaway period is longer than a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle length associated with the second network. The method further includes tuning a receiver of the device to a paging channel of the second network in response to passing of the tuneaway period.
Abstract:
Embodiments described herein relate to a method of managing communications for a wireless communication device having a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) associated with a first subscription and a second SIM associated with a second subscription, the method including, but not limited to, determining that the first subscription is a Default Data Subscription (DDS), deactivating at least one first Packet Data Network (PDN) associated with the second subscription, and communicating via at least one second PDN associated with the second subscription, wherein the at least one first PDN is different from the at least one second PDN.
Abstract:
Described herein are apparatuses, methods, and computer readable media for diverting a call from a server that receives calls to a wearable device (e.g., a watch) associated with a mobile device. In some embodiments, a mobile device determines whether a condition to activate a call diversion feature for the mobile device is met. In response to determining the condition is met, the mobile device communicates with the server to activate the call diversion feature for the mobile device. Subsequently, a call intended for the mobile device that is received at the server is diverted from the server to the wearable device.
