Embodiments of this application provide methods, apparatuses, and terminal devices for managing communications services. In an implementation, a method comprises: identifying, by an input device of a terminal device, an operation performed on the terminal device for entering a service mode that prioritizes data services over voice services; sending, by a subscriber identification module (SIM) card of the terminal device, one or more instructions to a network server, wherein the one or more instructions instruct the network server to disable the voice services of the SIM card; and in response to identifying the operation, activating, by the SIM card, the service mode by disabling a function on the terminal device corresponding to the voice services.

An apparatus for a wireless communication system includes one or more base stations and a plurality of user devices, UEs. The apparatus is configured to be connected to one or more UEs via a sidelink for a sidelink communication with the one or more UEs, the apparatus and the one or more UEs forming a group of UEs and using a set of group resources to be used for the sidelink communication within the group of UEs. In case a base station does not provide resource allocation configuration or assistance, the apparatus is configured to select resources from a set of resources provided by the wireless communication system so as to alter or completely change the set of group resources to be used for the sidelink communication within the group of UEs.

A reproduction apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a reproduction unit, a detection unit, and a generation unit. The reproduction unit can reproduce a content. The detection unit receives a beacon signal transmitted from a different reproduction apparatus capable of reproducing the content, and detects one or more nearby reproduction apparatuses that are located in a vicinity. The generation unit generates an operation image including a first area in which an own apparatus is displayed and a second area in which the detected one or more nearby reproduction apparatuses are displayed in an order based on the received beacon signal.

A communication control device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: a storage unit configured to store conditions for setting a profile used by a communication device for communication; a profile setting unit configured to start to set the profile for the communication device in a case in which a signal received from the communication device satisfies the conditions stored in the storage unit; and a condition setting unit configured to invalidate the conditions stored in the storage unit in a case in which the profile setting unit starts to set the profile and configured to validate conditions for setting a profile used by the communication device for communication in a case in which the profile setting unit has failed in setting the profile.

Usage rates for user equipments (UEs) in a peer to peer wireless network are disclosed. For instance, a network device communicates via a first wireless connection with the network device, wherein the first wireless connection employs a first frequency band, and wherein the first frequency band corresponds to a first rate model. Then, a request is received to change the first frequency band to a second frequency band. A second wireless connection is established with the network device, wherein the second wireless connection employs the second frequency band, and wherein the second frequency band corresponds to a second rate model different than the first rate model.

An electronic device and an electronic-device-operating method are provided. The electronic device includes an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) embedded in the electronic device, the eSIM storing a first profile associated with a first communication service, a physical subscriber identity module (pSIM) configured such that a SIM card is capable of being removably attached thereto or capable of being inserted thereinto, the pSIM storing a second profile associated with a second communication service, a communication processor configured to control the eSIM and the pSIM, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a signal indicating switching from a dual standby mode to a single standby mode, control a local profile assistant in device (LPAd) configured to control the eSIM in response to reception of the signal, delete a task associated with the eSIM in response to completion of disabling the LPAd, request deactivating of a protocol stack corresponding to the eSIM in response to deleting the task, and reset the communication processor in response to deactivation of the protocol stack.

An information processing apparatus is appropriately connected wirelessly. The information processing apparatus has a wireless communication unit and a controller. The wireless communication unit performs data transmission with another information processing apparatus. It is assumed, while data transmission is being performed between the information processing apparatus and a first information processing apparatus which plays the role of a group owner of a network made up of at least the information processing apparatus and the first information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus is to newly perform data transmission with a second information processing apparatus. In such a situation, the controller performs a control process to exchange information to change roles for carrying out each data transmission to the first information processing apparatus and the second information processing apparatus.
