Systems and related methods arranged to improve public safety agency access to phone-based information and communications with citizens. A first system enables a user to gather, store, access and share phone information associated with public safety agency activities including by retaining phone information and in the hand user information. A second system enables a public safety agency to exchange of information with one or more citizens, and a related system controls text-based exchanges with citizens to limit their access to agency representatives.

A method for sending messages and a mobile terminal are provided. The method is applicable to a mobile terminal including a processor and an AI module. The method includes the following. The mobile terminal controls the AI module to notify the processor to run a second application in the background when detecting that the number of English words in a message display window of a first chat interface of a first application is greater than a preset number threshold. The mobile terminal controls the AI module to translate a Chinese message in a message entry window of the first chat interface into an English message through the second application running in the background, when the Chinese message is detected. The mobile terminal controls the AI module to send the English message to a server when detecting a user operation for acknowledgment of the sending of the English message.

Computer-implemented techniques can include obtaining future travel plans for a user in a region that utilizes a language that is foreign to the user and predicting, based on the future travel plans, an expected future offline period during which the user is unlikely to have access to a network connection via a client computing device. The techniques can include identifying one or more points of interest in future the travel plans in the expected future offline period where the user is likely to require translation of foreign language text and obtaining portions of foreign language text associated therewith. The techniques can also include, prior to the expected future offline period, obtaining translated portions of text representing translations of the portions of foreign language text to a preferred language of the user and transmitting, to the client computing device, the translated portions of text.

A communication terminal includes an obtainer to obtain, for each destination candidate, attributes of the destination candidate, and state information that represents whether the destination candidate is ready to start communication; a determiner to determine based on the attributes and state information, for each of the attributes, which destination candidate associated with the attribute is ready to start communication; a display controller to display, for each attribute with which at least one of the destination candidates is ready to start communication, information that represents the attribute in association with information that represents that the destination candidate is ready to start communication, and to display, for each attribute with which none of the destination candidates is ready to start communication, information that represents the attribute in association with information that represents that none of the destination candidates is ready to start communication.

Techniques for enhancing content on a mobile device are described. A method may include monitoring an input component for the mobile device and detecting a first control directive from the input component, the first control directive to instruct selection of a content portion from a user interface of a first application executing on the mobile device. The method may continue by receiving a second control directive to select the content portion; performing an operation on the selected content portion by a second application different from the first application; and presenting results of the operation on a display of the mobile device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Various systems, mediums, and methods may determine one or more configurations associated with a provider application. For example, a mobile system may determine a request to install a provider application, possibly based on one or more user inputs received by the mobile system. The mobile system may determine other applications installed on the mobile system. The mobile system may determine one or more configurations of the provider application based on the other applications installed. As such, the mobile system may install the provider application to the mobile system based on the one or more configurations determined.

Methods and apparatus for customizing a telephone are disclosed in which preferred communication services are conveniently accessible to a user, in which a telephone is tailored to the specific requirements of a user.

Conversation-based context rules for altering virtual reality (VR) gaming and for switching between input languages based on heuristics related to past conversations between users.

A method, performed on a server, of translating between languages includes receiving first audio data for a first language from a mobile device, translating the first audio data to second audio data for a second language, receiving an indication that the mobile device has moved between two locations, and sending the second audio data to the mobile device in response to the indication.

A method at a user equipment, the method including receiving a string of indicia identifying at the user equipment, the string further comprising an indicator bit; based on the indicator bit, performing one of: determining whether the user equipment supports one or more indicium of the string of indicia and skipping display of characters corresponding to non-supported indicia; or displaying all indicium within the string of indicia. In other embodiments, utilizing a language delineator to choose a string of indicia to display or providing a language delineator to a network element and using the complete string of indicia received from a network element based on the provided language delineator.
