A subscriber identity module (eUICC), comprises profiles for the utilization of a mobile terminal that include at least a first profile and at least a second profile, of which the second profile (Pr1, Pr2) is devised as an active profile. The first profile is designed as a root profile (PrR) which in a normal state of the subscriber identity module is in an inactive state, and which is devised to be activated in response to an authentication command (AUTHENTICATE) received at the subscriber identity module. The authentication command is specially parameterized for the root profile (PrR) with a specific root value of the network parameter (P2) to be activated during a change-over period. The initially active second profile (Pr1, Pr2) is deactivated during the change-over period. After the end of the change-over period, the first profile (PrR) is again deactivated and the second profile (Pr1, Pr2) is again activated.

A method of providing a user interface on a mobile communication device to control smart devices in an environment. The method comprises discovering a plurality of smart devices in an environment by a client application executing on a mobile communication device by initiating wireless communication between the mobile communication device and the plurality of smart devices, wherein the client application learns an electronic model identity of each of the discovered smart devices, communicating with a data store by the client application to look-up control interfaces of the discovered smart devices based on the electronic model identities of the smart devices, looking-up predefined environmental preferences associated with the mobile communication device in the data store by the client application, transmitting control commands by the client application to the plurality of smart devices based in part on the looked-up predefined environmental preferences.

A method for transmitting one or more data elements from a vehicle to a server via a communication channel between the vehicle and the server includes the vehicle determining a first event, and transmitting the first event from the vehicle to the server via the communication channel. The server receives the first event and determines a relevance parameter of the first event. Responsive to the relevance parameter indicating that the first event is relevant to the server, a message is transmitted requesting a first data element associated with the first event from the server to the vehicle via the communication channel. The vehicle receives the message for requesting the first data element and determines the first data element associated with the first event. The first data element is transmitted from the vehicle to the server via the communication channel on the basis of a communication-channel-specific parameter of the communication channel.

A control device receives information, e.g., network status information and network loading information, from a plurality of service provider networks and device capability information and status information, from a plurality of user equipment (UE) devices. UEs subscribe to multiple service provider networks. In some geographical regions, coverage is provided by more than one network. The control device generates and sends device profile to network mapping information to UEs on an individual UE basis, e.g., for geographic regions, e.g., 3D regions, where multiple networks are available. Device profile to network mapping information sometimes includes criteria, e.g. rules, parameter, limits, etc. An application on the UE uses the received device profile to network mapping information, along with position information, to select a network/profile to use at a given time. Altering the information provided to one or more UEs allows the control device to perform load balancing between networks.

Systems and techniques for sharing media may utilize or implement a server receiving a media share request from a first device associated with a first user, the media share request including metadata pertaining to a media, retrieving a set of candidate media and fine tuning the set of candidate media to determine a selected candidate media, and transmitting metadata associated with the selected candidate media to a second device associated with a second user or transmitting a set of application program interface (API) calls to the second device.

In an example, a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium may include instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the processor to receive device usage data associated with an electronic device. Further, instructions may be executed by the processor to determine a touch-related contamination state of a surface of the electronic device by applying a machine learning model to the device usage data. Furthermore, instructions may be executed by the processor to send an alert notification to the electronic device based on the touch-related contamination state.

Provided are a method and device for determining a transmission mode, a storage medium and an electronic device. The method includes acquiring information for determining the transmission mode, where the information includes at least one of: service profile information about a first service from an upper layer of a first terminal or an application layer of the first terminal, access layer information about the first terminal, transmission parameter information configured for the first terminal by a base station, or capability information about a second terminal of a proximity service; and determining the transmission mode according to the information. This can solve the problem in the existing art of how to perform communication better when there are UEs of different types or different capabilities in a system.

A method performed by a programmed processor of an in-ear headphone that is to be worn by a user. The method obtains, over a wireless communication link and via a first wireless connection that uses an accessory profile, a first request, from an audio source device, to start a measurement process. In response to obtaining the request, the method 1) establishes, over the link, a second wireless connection that uses an audio distribution profile between the headphone and the source device, 2) obtains, via the second wireless connection, an audio signal for driving a speaker of the headphone to output sound, 3) responsive to the outputted sound, determining a fit parameter, and 4) transmitting the fit parameter to the source device via the first wireless connection.

An application function (AF) device may identify a user equipment (UE) and may send, to a network exposure function (NEF) device, a battery level request message concerning a battery of the UE. The AF device may obtain, from the NEF device, based on sending the battery level request message, a battery level report, and may cause, based on the battery level report, at least one action to be performed.
