A method for establishing network connections includes connecting a device to a first network, retrieving voice input of a user, sending a message including data related to the voice input to at least one gateway device on the first network, receiving configuration data for a second network via the first network in response to the message, and establishing a connection of the device to the second network using the configuration data received via the first network. Furthermore, an electronic device, a network gateway device and a system are defined.

Establishment of network connections

Methods and apparatus for invoking a security feature of a computing device display in response to detecting an onlooker based on depth data are disclosed. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, computer-readable instructions, and processor circuitry, The processor circuitry is to execute the computer-readable instructions to automatically invoke an onlooker detection model of a computing device in response to determining that the computing device is located in a public, unsecure environment. The onlooker detection model is to detect an onlooker based on data collected by a sensor associated with the computing device. The processor circuitry is to execute the computer-readable instructions to automatically invoke a security feature of a display of the computing device in response to detection of the onlooker.

Wake-on-touch display screen devices and related methods are disclosed herein An example computing device includes a display screen, a first sensor to detect a presence of a user in an environment, a second sensor to detect a presence of an appendage of the user, and at least one processor to control a power state of the computing device based on first data generated by the first sensor and second data generated by the second sensor.

Wake-on-touch display screen devices and related methods

An electronic device receives depth sensor data that includes depths sensed in multiple zones in the field of view of a depth sensor. The device determines whether a user is in front of the device based on the depth sensor data. If the user is determined to be present, then the device causes a display to enter an operational mode. Otherwise, the device causes the display to enter a standby mode. The device may also determine whether the user's attention is on the device by determining whether the depth sensor data indicates that the user is facing the device. If so, the device causes the display to enter the operational mode. Otherwise, the device causes the display to enter a power saving mode. The device may use a machine learning algorithm to determine whether the depth sensor data indicates that the user is present and/or facing the device.

User detection and user attention detection using multi-zone depth sensing

Methods and apparatus for invoking a security feature of a computing device display in response to detecting an onlooker based on depth data are disclosed. An example apparatus includes an onlooker detector and a security manager. The onlooker detector is to detect an onlooker based on depth sensor data collected by a depth sensor associated with a computing device. The security manager is to automatically invoke a security feature of a display of the computing device in response to detection of the onlooker by the onlooker detector.
