A user device including near-field communication (NFC) circuitry may receive a polling message from an NFC terminal. The user device may obtain information based at least in part on the polling message. The user device may determine a characteristic of the NFC terminal based at least in part on the information. The characteristic may be indicative of a radio frequency (RF) field strength of the NFC terminal. The user device may adjust an RF setting of the NFC circuitry based at least in part on the characteristic. The RF setting may correspond to an RF sensitivity of the NFC circuitry.

Adjustment of radio frequency settings of near-field communication circuitry

This Application describes mechanisms to provide priority levels for call connection requests and/or messages from a sending device to a receiving device. The receiving device is configured to allow prioritized notification alerts for incoming call connection requests and/or for incoming messages from a sending device to override a silent or do not disturb mode for one or more contacts based on i) a priority level provided with the call connection request or message and ii) a priority setting for the sending device or a set of devices associated with a user of the sending device.

Priority calling using cloud-based signaling for VoLTE and non-cellular calls

Systems, methods, and devices are provided for dynamically determining appropriate antenna tuning states for communication across one or more frequency bands. An electronic device may include a radio frequency system that facilitates wireless transmission and reception of data across multiple frequency bands. The electronic device may include a processor coupled to the radio frequency system. The processor may instruct the radio frequency system to obtain measurements for a candidate tuner state and a tuner state. Further, the processor may instruct the radio frequency system to determine whether the candidate tuner state provides better radio frequency system performance than the tuner state. Additionally, the processor may update the tuning table to reflect that results of which tuner state provides better radio frequency system performance.

Aspects of the subject technology relate to gaze-dependent visual encryption of electronic device displays. Each display frame that is displayed on the electronic device display may include a clear-display region around the user's gaze location and an obscured region outside the clear-display region. In this way, only the display content that the user is actively viewing is recognizable and understandable and an onlooker such as an unwanted observer looking over the user's shoulder is unable to understand what is displayed. The obscured region of each display frame may be generated such that the overall look and structure of that region is unchanged, but the content is unintelligible. In this way, the visual experience of the user is not disrupted or distracted by the visual encryption and the eye of the onlooker is not guided to the clear-display region by the visual encryption.

Gaze-dependent display encryption

A test system for performing over the air testing on a device under test (DUT) with satellite navigation system capability is provided. The test system may include a test host, a satellite navigation system emulator, a test chamber in which the DUT may be placed during testing, and test antennas mounted inside the test chamber. The satellite navigation system emulator may receive ephemeris and almanac data and may generate corresponding simulated test signals to be transmitted to the DUT via the test antennas. The test antennas may be mounted on fixed or rotatable ring-shaped antenna mounting structures configured to emulate respective orbital planes in a given satellite constellation that is currently being characterized. The DUT may also be rotated during testing to emulate user movement.
