IPC Code(s): G06F3/0481
CPC Code(s): G06F3/0481
Abstract: methods and systems for simulating light interaction and physical materials in a graphical user interface (gui) of a resource-constrained device are provided. simulating physical materials, such as glass and metal, in a gui can allow a user to feel more natural in interacting with the gui. the user experience can be further enhanced if the simulated physical materials in the gui can interact with the device's environment in a manner similar to how the actual physical materials would interact. however, continually polling various sensors can be resource-intensive, especially for resource-constrained mobile devices. accordingly, a mobile device can intelligently determine whether to begin a reduced detail mode, and then render user interface objects in the reduced detail mode to conserve resources.

Abstract: low complexity, hardware-friendly techniques are proposed for video coding systems to mitigate banding artifacts while maintaining the compression efficiency. in general, the proposed techniques consist of two stages including a banding detection stage and a de-banding stage. the banding detection stage may identify the image/video regions where the banding artifact may be present based on gradient information and other information. the de-banding stage may apply corrective techniques to regions identified as likely to possess banding artifacts. in one embodiment, the de-banding adapts the filtering logic proposed by prior video coding standards for other filtering applications to mitigate banding. when implemented over the av1 video coding standard and the aom video model (avm) reference software, the proposed technique improves subjective quality significantly at a reasonable hardware implementation cost. the methods and embodiments presented in this document can be beneficial find application in a wide variety of image/video coding standards and systems.

Abstract: a user equipment (ue) for handling slice information with single network slice selection assistance information (s-nssai) mapping for universal integrated circuit card (uicc) processor is provided. the ue operates by determining whether a baseband processor of the ue is in a busy state. based on a determination that the baseband processor is not in the busy state, the baseband processor sends a fetch message to a uicc processor of the ue, where the fetch message is sent in response to receipt of a proactive-command-pending message from the uicc processor. the baseband processor receives a proactive-command message from the uicc processor, where the proactive-command message corresponds to a request for single network slice selection assistance information (s-nssai) information corresponding to one or more network slices. finally, the baseband processor sends a response message with the s-nssai information to the uicc processor.
