A system is described including a mobile device that receives a user request to initiate a phone call to an entity associated with an interactive-voice-response (IVR) interface of an IVR system. The system obtains information about a hierarchy of options associated with the interactive-voice-response system and causes a graphical user interface (GUI) for navigating the hierarchy of options associated with the interactive-voice-response system to be displayed at the mobile device. The system converts user inputs associated with the GUI to inputs recognized by the IVR system and the mobile device outputs, to the entity, the converted inputs and other information required by the entity to perform an operation based on the inputs. In response, the system updates the GUI based on additional information received from the IVR system.

Systems, devices, and methods for orientation negotiation are described. In one innovative aspect, a method includes receiving an orientation negotiation message at a video processing device from a first device associated with a communication session with the video processing device. The orientation negotiation message includes an indication of an orientation of the first device and at least one characteristic associated with the first device. The method also includes identifying either the video processing device or the first device perform orientation processing based at least in part on the received at least one characteristic of the first device. The method further includes transmitting a message is transmitted to said first device, said message including information indicating a result of said identifying. The identified device performs subsequent orientation processing such as rotation of images included in the communication session.

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a user equipment, an RNC, or an application operable in a wireless communications network and methods in which the user equipment can be transitioned into a dormant state controlled by an application driven scheme. According to the application driven scheme, a request is received from an active process at an application server to trigger a wireless device to enter a dormant state, and network traffic information corresponding to a time interval is received from a wireless device. If the network traffic information indicates that the active process is solely responsible for network traffic at a transport layer of the wireless device during the time interval, one or more commands are transmitted to the wireless device such that the wireless device enters the dormant state. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Systems and methods for managing in-vehicle system network connectivity. A media system processor may determine an application requirement of an application running on the media system and an available bandwidth of a cellular communication link of the media system. The processor may receive available cellular communication link bandwidths of one or more mobile devices in communication with the media system. The processor may rank an ability of the media system, the first one or more mobile devices to meet the application requirement based on their respective available bandwidths, select the highest ranked of the media system, and the one or more mobile devices via a short-range communication to receive content for presentation by the media system, and may receive the content for the selected highest ranked of the media system, and the one or more mobile devices.

The present disclosure involves determining charging equipment availability through crowdsourcing. Information is gathered from a plurality of electrically powered vehicle in a geographical region. The charging stations in the geographical region are displayed. A request is received, from a user, to determine occupancy of the electrical charging equipment at one or more of the charging stations during a specified future time window. A calculation is performed based on the information gathered from the electrically powered vehicles. The calculation calculates a probability of the electrical charging equipment at the one or more charging stations being unoccupied during the specified future time window. As a part of the calculation, a weighted probability is assigned to each charging station of being visited by at least one of the electrically powered vehicles. The probability is communicated to the driver.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for aligning data packet transmission calls to a modem processorof a mobile communication devicein order to enable the modem processorto remain in a dormant state for a greater percentage of time. Alignment can be carried out via a function of a library at the applications layer or via an automated method carried out at the network protocol stack where modification of applications via an API provided by the library is not required. For alignment at the applications layer, calls for data packet transmissions can be timed such that periodic calls occur at substantially the same time. For alignment at the network protocol stack, periodic data packet transmission calls can be identified, their periodicity determined, and certain of the calls can be delayed such that periodic calls occur substantially at the same time.

Aggregating multiple modems in a communication device into a radio-frequency-link aggregation group increases the limited data bandwidth of RF data transmission between a communication device and its operator network. An aggregation controller in the communication device monitors the availability of its modems and selects modems to be used in a radio-frequency-link aggregation group. The aggregation controller also selects an aggregation algorithm. A radio-frequency-link aggregation module in the communication device distributes data to modems in the radio-frequency-link aggregation group in accordance with the aggregation algorithm. A connectivity service in the communication device notifies the operator network of the modems in the radio-frequency-link aggregation group and acknowledges that the operator network agrees to handle transmission from the radio-frequency-link aggregation group.
