Abstract

Aspects of the subject technology relate to providing frame rate arbitration for electronic devices. Frame rate arbitration can include determining a global frame rate based on frame rate parameters from one or more animation sources, and providing the global frame rate to the animation sources. The frame rate parameters for various animations sources can have differing preferred, minimum, and/or maximum frame rates, and the global frame rate may be determined for concurrent display of multiple animations from the multiple animation sources. In one or more implementations, frame rate arbitration can also be performed based on frame rate parameters from an input source.

Abstract

Some embodiments provide a mapping application that displays a rotation of a 3D map and corresponding rotation of a set of map labels overlaying the 3D map in response to receiving input to rotate the 3D map. When a particular map label in the set of map labels rotates towards an upside down orientation, the mapping application also replaces the particular map label with a version of the particular map label arranged in a right side up orientation to prevent the particular map label from being displayed in the upside down orientation in the 3D map.

Abstract

In an embodiment, an automation controller periodically generates stop trajectories and controls actuators to follow the stop trajectories. As long as new stop trajectories continue to be generated, the automation controller may follow a destination trajectory that is formed from the first portion of each stop trajectory. If stop trajectories are not generated for a period of time (e.g., due to failure in one or more computers generating the stop trajectories), the automation controller may continue to follow the most recent stop trajectory and bring the mobile machine to a stop.

The subject technology receives assessment values determined by a first machine learning model deployed on a client electronic device, the assessment values being indicative of classifications of input data and the assessment values being associated with constraint data that comprises a probability distribution of the assessment values with respect to the classifications of the input data. The subject technology applies the assessment values determined by the first machine learning model to a second machine learning model to determine the classifications of the input data. The subject technology determines whether accuracies of the classifications determined by the second machine learning model conform with the probability distribution for corresponding assessment values determined by the first machine learning model. The subject technology retrains the first machine learning model when the accuracies of the classifications determined by the second machine learning model do not conform with the probability distribution.

Abstract

This application describes a phased approach to provision eSIM profiles to a wireless device. Credentials are preloaded to an eUICC during manufacture of the eUICC and used subsequently to load eSIM profiles to the eUICC without requiring an active, real-time connection to an MNO provisioning server. Multiple bound profile packages (BPPs) can be pre-generated and encrypted by MNO provisioning servers for an eUICC and transferred to a BPP aggregator server before assembly of the eUICC in a respective wireless device. A local provisioning server in a manufacturing facility mutually authenticates and connects to the BPP aggregator server to download and store one or more of the encrypted BPPs for later installation on the eUICC. The local provisioning server subsequently mutually authenticates and connects to the eUICC to load at least one of the one or more pre-generated, encrypted BPPs to the eUICC during assembly and/or testing of the wireless device.

Abstract

In an example method, a mobile device obtains a signal indicating an acceleration measured by a sensor over a time period. The mobile device determines an impact experienced by the user based on the signal. The mobile device also determines, based on the signal, one or more first motion characteristics of the user during a time prior to the impact, and one or more second motion characteristics of the user during a time after the impact. The mobile device determines that the user has fallen based on the impact, the one or more first motion characteristics of the user, and the one or more second motion characteristics of the user, and in response, generates a notification indicating that the user has fallen.

Abstract

Optoelectronic apparatus includes an array of emitters configured to emit respective beams of optical radiation. A steering module is mounted to intercept the emitted beams and includes an optical substrate and an active diffraction grating, which is fixed to the optical substrate and has a pitch that varies in response to an electrical signal applied thereto, so as to deflect the beams of optical radiation by a variable angle dependent on the pitch. An optical metasurface is disposed on the optical substrate and configured to collimate the beams of optical radiation so that the beams form a pattern of spots on a target scene. A controller is coupled to vary the electrical signal applied to the active diffractive grating so as to shift the pattern of spots across the target scene.

Abstract

Techniques are disclosed relating to selective rate limiting and reducing clock frequency of fabric circuitry in response to certain power management events. Disclosed techniques may advantageously allow power management circuitry to reduce or avoid negative impacts of power events by reducing the clock frequency of a communication fabric while using rate limiting of relatively lower-priority traffic to reduce impacts of the frequency reduction on high-priority traffic. For example, rate limiting of lower-quality-of-service virtual channels may continue after recovery of the clock frequency until higher-quality-of-service virtual channels have recovered from the frequency reduction.

Abstract

A computer system displays a first user interface object in a first view of a three-dimensional environment at a first position in the three-dimensional environment and with a first spatial arrangement relative to a respective portion of the user. The computer system detects movement of a viewpoint of the user from a first location to a second location in a physical environment. In accordance with a determination that the movement does not satisfy a threshold amount of movement, the computer system maintains display of the first user interface object at the first position. In accordance with a determination that the movement satisfies the threshold amount of movement, the computer system ceases to display the first user interface object at the first position and displays the first user interface object at a second position having the first spatial arrangement relative to the respective portion of the user.

In some instances, these measurements can be obtained through everyday use of the stylus, while in other instances, the user can be prompted to perform certain tasks (e.g., draw specific contours) to assist in data collection. With these measurements, a user profile and baseline profile data can be established and tracked over time, which can include parameters such as tremor amplitude and grip strength. Deviations from baseline profile data can be computed, and when those deviations exceed a threshold, an alert or other wellness insights can be presented to the user.

Abstract

A broadcast service network (separate from a cellular network) includes broadcast service signal (BSS) nodes that broadcast signals to receivers of user equipment (UE). The BSS may provide broadcast service information to user equipment, such as the emergency notifications, even when the user equipment is out of range of the cellular network. Further, the broadcast service signals may provide information that improves the user equipment's search and access time for connecting to the cellular network (e.g., a cellular service station) and/or that assists the user equipment in locating a nearby region of cellular network coverage. In addition, the BSS may be wake-up signals configured to activate the receiver when the receiver is in a sleep or inactive mode. In some embodiments, the BSS may be pointer signals configured to direct the user equipment to a broadcast service channel to receive the broadcast service information.

Abstract

Systems and methods for multicast data traffic service continuity under multicast-broadcast services (MBS) operation during a radio resource control (RRC) state or mode transition are described. In some embodiments, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a network, while in an RRC connected mode, an RRC release message comprising an RRC inactive mode point to multipoint (PTM) configuration that uses an MBS session to receive multicast data traffic while the UE is in an RRC inactive mode; enters the RRC inactive mode from the RRC connected mode in response to the RRC release message; and uses the RRC inactive mode PTM configuration to receive, from the network, the multicast data traffic of the MBS session while the UE is in the RRC inactive mode. Cases where a UE instead re-uses an RRC connected mode PTM configuration after transitioning to the RRC inactive mode are also described. Analogous network behaviors are described.

Abstract

A communications system may include a user equipment (UE) device that communicates with a cellular network having base stations. A UE may enter a connected mode in which the UE and a first base station in a first cell convey wireless data. While in connected mode, the first base station may transmit measurement objects to the UE, each being associated with a different cell neighboring the first cell. The UE may store the measurement objects. When the UE enters an idle mode, the UE may perform measurements on the neighboring cells using the measurement objects. The UE may then use the measurements to determine whether to re-select to a neighbor cell when the UE is unable to acquire a measurement configuration from the base station in idle mode. This may help to mitigate the occurrence of idle mode out-of-service (OOS) conditions for the UE device.

Abstract

Techniques are disclosed, whereby graphical information for a first image frame to be rendered is obtained at a first device, the graphical information comprising at least depth information for at least a portion of the pixels within the first image frame. Next, a regional depth value may be determined for a region of pixels in the first image frame. Next, the region of pixels may be coded as either a “skipped” region or a “non-skipped” region based, at least in part, on the determined regional depth value for the region of pixels. Finally, if the region of pixels is coded as a non-skipped region, a representation of the region of pixels may be rendered and composited with any other graphical content, as desired, to a display of the first device; whereas, if the region of pixels is coded as a skipped region, the first device may avoid rendering the region.

Abstract

A physical keyboard can be used to collect user input in a typing mode or in a tracking mode. To use a tracking mode, first movement data is detected for a hand of a user in relation to a physical keyboard at a first location. A determination is made that the first movement data is associated with a tracking movement. In response to determining that the movement type is associated with the tracking movement, a tracking mode is initiated. User input is provided based on the movement data and in accordance with the tracking mode. Contact data and non-contact data is used to determine a user intent, and a user instruction is processed based on the user intent.
