A wireless mobile device in a public communication network receives network-initiated signaling or messaging, while operating in a battery-conserving mode, or modes that, keep(s) minimal baseband processing functions awake. The baseband processing functions process incoming signaling or data in a received message to determine whether to act further on information in the incoming message by enabling additional processing capability in the mobile device. The mobile device may have permanent template criteria values, either coded in firmware or implemented in hardware, or temporary template criteria values, stored in RAM or processor registers, that are compared to values of an incoming message or datagram from the mobile network to determine whether to perform additional actions, such as awakening an application processor. Multiple templates may co-exist to allow different incoming datagrams to cause the device to take some additional action, respond, or even ignore information in an incoming datagram or message.

Examples described herein provide improved power down of PoE interfaces. Examples described herein may set a power fault value for each of a plurality of PSUs, and set a power threshold value for each of a plurality of PoE interfaces. Examples described herein may detect a fault that interrupts a flow of power from a subset of the PSUs to at least one of the PoE interfaces, and based on detecting the fault, for each PSU in the subset of the PSUs, add the power fault value for the PSU to a total power fault value. Examples described herein may, for each of the PoE interfaces, determine whether the total power fault value satisfies the power threshold value for the PoE interface, and based on a determination that the total power fault value satisfies the power threshold value for the PoE interface, power down the PoE interface.

There is disclosed a text to speech announcement system capable of operating without an external power source for long periods of time.

A cradle apparatus detects spatial distances from target objects positioned in adjacency to the cradle apparatus, and communicates with a mobile communications device for selectively powering off/on the visual display of the mobile communications device based on its distance from a target object. The cradle apparatus includes a cradle assembly, at least one distance sensor, and sensor support circuitry. The cradle assembly is configured for cradling the communications device and displaying a visual display of the communications device as cradled by the cradle assembly, optionally at an oblique angle relative to a support surface. Each distance sensor is positioned by the cradle assembly for detecting the relative distance of select objects positioned in adjacency to the visual display. The sensor support circuitry communicates each distance sensor to a switch or circuit board for powering off or powering on the visual display depending on its distance from the target object.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a voice smart device wake-up method, apparatus, device and storage medium. The method includes: receiving, by a master control device, a wake-up message sent by each smart device, the wake-up message comprising at least sound characteristics information, determining, by the master control device, a target smart device to be woken up according to the sound characteristics information, and sending, by the master control device, a wake-up instruction to the target smart device to be woken up, to wake up the target smart device to be woken up for responding to a voice request from a user. In a case where a plurality of smart devices share a same wake-up word, only one most suitable smart device is waken up to respond to a voice request of the user each time.

A method for power saving and encryption during analysis of media captured by an information capture device using a partitioned neural network includes replicating, by an information capture device, an artificial neural network (ANN) from a computer server to the information capture device. The ANN on the computer server and a replicated ANN, both, include M layers. The method further includes, in response to captured data being input to be processed, partially processing, by the information capture device, the captured data by executing a first k layers using the replicated ANN, wherein only the k layers are selected to execute on the information capture device. The method further includes transmitting, by the information capture device, an output of the k-th layer to the computer server, which partially processes the captured data by executing the remainder of the M layers using the ANN and the output of the k-th layer.

Provided herein are examples of a remote control device that provides a retrofit solution for an existing switched control system. The remote control device may comprise a control circuit, a rotatable portion, a magnetic ring coupled to the rotatable portion, and first and second Hall-effect sensor circuits configured to generate respective first and second sensor control signals in response to magnetic fields generated by the magnetic elements. The control circuit may operate in a normal mode when the rotatable portion is being rotated, and in a reduced-power mode when the rotatable portion is not being rotated. The control circuit may disable the second Hall-effect sensor circuit in the reduced-power mode. The control circuit may detect movement of the rotatable portion in response to the first sensor control signal in the reduced-power mode and enable the second Hall-effect sensor circuit in response to detecting movement of the rotatable portion.
