Systems and methods dynamically adapt network policies for mobile devices by accessing context-based values to allocate or restrict capabilities on the mobile devices or within the network. Context-based values may include position or velocity as well as more general environment features such as proximity of other devices, the presence or absence of other wireless signals or network traffic, parameters measured by local or remote sensors, user credentials, or unique user or signal inputs to the device. Relevant capabilities may include access to hardware and software interfaces and related parameter sets including priority settings.

The present inventions, in one aspect, are directed to systems and circuitry for and/or methods of establishing communication having one or more pairing facilitator-intermediary devices (for example, a network connected server) to enable or facilitate pairing and/or registering at least two devices (e.g., (i) a portable biometric monitoring device and (ii) a smartphone, laptop and/or tablet) to, for example, recognize, interact and/or enable interoperability between such devices. The pairing facilitator-intermediary device may responsively communicates information to one or more of the devices (to be paired or registered) which, in response, enable or facilitate such devices to pair or register. The present inventions may be advantageous where one or both of the devices to be paired or registered is/are not configured (e.g., include a user interface or certain communication circuitry that is configured or includes functionality) to pair devices without use of a facilitator-intermediary device.

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique that combines a 5G communication system for supporting a data rate that is higher than that of a beyond 4G system with IoT technology, and a system thereof. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail, security and safety related services. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method in which a terminal performs communication connection by downloading and installing a communication service in a communication system.

A system performs mobile biometric identification system enrollment using a known biometric. The system receives a digital representation of a first biometric for a person. Prior to using the digital representation of the first biometric to identify the person, the system compares a received digital representation of a second biometric for the person to known biometric data for the person. When the digital representation of the first biometric has been thus verified, the system is operative to identify the person using the digital representation of the first biometric.

Electronic devices perform a login process differently depending on a type of authentication, and control methods are described. Electronic devices may include a communication module and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to receive a signal for requesting transmission of user information stored in the electronic device via the communication module from an external electronic device operatively connected to the electronic device. Based on the reception of the signal, first type authentication or second type authentication different from the first type authentication is performed. Information associated with whether the first type authentication is performed or the second type authentication is performed, together with the user information, is transmitted to the external electronic device so that a login process different depending on the first type authentication or the second type authentication is performed in the external electronic device.

A regional lock-state control system for operation within a region, includes a server, a plurality of mobile devices and a plurality of lock assembles. The server is configured to initiate a lock-state event. The mobile devices are each configured to receive a wireless lock-state directive from the server upon the lock-state event, and send a wireless lock lock-state directive to the server. The lock assemblies are each configured to receive a lock-state command associated with the lock-state directive from the plurality of mobile devices, and are each configured to transmit an advertisement that includes data on a lock-state.

Embodiments of this application disclose a slice service verification method and apparatus, to improve network security. The method in embodiments of this application includes: A slice service verification function entity receives a first message sent by a terminal device, where the first message carries an identifier of a first network slice and a first message authentication code, and the first message authentication code is calculated based on a first network identifier. The slice service verification function entity verifies the first message authentication code based on a second network identifier. The slice service verification function entity sends the second network identifier to an authentication server when the verification succeeds.
