Disclosed is a method and apparatus for operating a first device. The first device obtains environment information in proximity to the first device and receives one or more communication messages from a second device and the message(s) includes relevance criteria, wherein the relevance criteria indicates one or more devices, one or more sets of device characteristics, one or more lanes, one or more intersections or areas, one or more pedestrian paths or bicycle paths, one or more signal characteristics from the second device or any combination thereof. The first device determines whether the one or more communication messages are relevant to the first device based on the relevance criteria and the environment information and performs an operation in response to the determination of whether the one or more communication messages are relevant.

Planning and control framework with communication messaging

Disclosed embodiments pertain to a method for determining position information of a target vehicle relative to an ego vehicle. The method may comprise: obtaining, by at least one image sensor, first images of one or more target vehicles and classifying at least one target vehicle from the one or more target vehicles based on the one or more first images. Further, vehicle characteristics corresponding to the least one target vehicle may be obtained based on the classification of the least one target vehicle. Position information of the at least one target vehicle relative to the ego vehicle may be determined based on the vehicle characteristics.

Proximate vehicle localization and identification

A server based contextual awareness method of communicating in a wireless network includes detecting a signal strength of one or more user equipments (UEs) relative to other user equipment within a same vicinity. The method also includes detecting a pattern of the user equipment(s) and the other user equipment based on the detected signal strength of the user equipment(s) relative to the other user equipment. The method also includes deriving a social context based on the detected pattern. The method further includes initiating an action in response to the derived social context.

Contextual awareness using relative positions of mobile devices

The disclosed embodiments are for a method, apparatus, and system for toy building blocks with chain reaction trigger. The blocks are configured to be coupled together in order to build structures with the blocks. The blocks house a trigger mechanism system that when triggered will then actively trigger the adjacent block's trigger mechanism system. Thus, the blocks will disconnect and/or break away from each other in a chain reaction or sequenced manner.

Methods and systems are provided for detecting a grip event on a touchscreen display and adjusting the displayed content based on the location of the grip event. The content that is covered by a grip event is identified and moved out from under the grip event by adjusting the displayed content layout. The area of the grip event may be determined to allow for adjusting the layout of the displayed. Alerts may be implemented to alert a user when there is a change in a content that is covered by a grip event. The grip event outline may be estimated and menu icons or icons may be positioned and displayed in close contour profile to estimated outline of the grip event. A grip event location may be suggested based on a user's touch habits or display content layout.

Method and system for adjusting display content

A wireless communication device ( ) is coupled to an external keyboard ( ) through an input/output (I/O) connector ( ) mounted on the housing of the wireless communication device ( ). The external keyboard ( ) includes individual keys for alphabetic characters and numeric characters to permit the easy entry of alphanumeric text for text messaging transmissions by the wireless communication device ( ). The keyboard may include a keyboard body ( ) with an aperture ( ) size to receive and retain the wireless communication device. The I/O connector ( ) on the wireless communication device ( ) mates with a corresponding keyboard connector ( ) located within the aperture ( ) of the keyboard body ( ). The keyboard ( ) may be rotatably mounted to the keyboard housing to permit activation of the keyboard by the user and may be rotated into an open configuration to expose the keypad ( ) of the wireless communication device ( ) to allow activation of the wireless communication device ( ) by the user. The keyboard ( ) may also be used to functionally replace the keypad ( ) on the wireless communication device ( ) by selectively activating a portion of the keys on the keyboard ( ) to correspond to the keys on the keypad ( ). The keyboard body ( ) may include a base support element ( ) to support the keyboard ( ) on a work surface. The base support element ( ) also includes a curved portion ( ) and a linear portion ( ) to allow the base support element ( ) to serve as a belt clip.
