Method and device of encrypting communication between a server and a peripheral device are disclosed. The method includes: a server receiving a session request from a control device, the session request including a predetermined device ID of a peripheral device associated with the control device; generating a first session key for encrypting and decrypting future communication between the peripheral device and the server; identifying a pre-stored encryption key corresponding to the predetermined device ID from a database, wherein the pre-stored encryption key is also pre-stored in the peripheral device; encrypting the first session key using the pre-stored encryption key; sending the encrypted first session key to the peripheral device via the control device; and encrypting communication to the peripheral device in a respective communication session using the first session key.

A head-mounted display control apparatus includes one or more circuits, or one or more processors and at least one memory, the at least one memory being coupled to the one or more processors and having stored thereon instructions executable by the one or more processors. At least one of the one or more circuits or the execution of the instructions causes the head-mounted display control apparatus to function as an image capturing unit configured to capture an image; and a control unit configured to, based on phone call reception information, phone conversation information, or message reception information, perform control to display the captured image or a virtual space image on a display unit.

This patent outlines an advanced communication device designed to combat the rising issue of distracted driving and walking. The invention leverages voice control technologies and smart communication management to minimize driver distractions from mobile device use. Key features include the ability to access cellular networks without relying on a traditional mobile phone and an integrated voice control interface for manual-free operation. The device is adept at intelligently managing communications based on the driver's motion status and can automatically alter operational modes to prioritize emergency functions during travel. Additionally, it incorporates: an emergency communication system for manual-free call activation; advanced multimedia functionalities, allowing for the hands-free capture and transmission of photos and videos; and the capability to audibly read digital content. Enhanced by modular design elements and remote charging capabilities, the invention represents a significant advancement in driver and walking safety technology.

Embodiments can cause a media capturing device and a carrier device to establish a communication session there between so that the media capturing device can receive hotspot credentials and connect to a hotspot of the carrier device for Internet connectivity. The media capturing device can then connect to a remote streaming server via the hotspot, causing the creation of a media stream associated with a unique identifier of the media capturing device at a streaming server. The streaming server can return a URL associated with the media stream of the media capturing device to the carrier device, so that the carrier device can access, view, control, or share the media stream with other computing devices.

This watching system is provided with: a watching detection device that is provided with a cartilage conduction vibration source, a mastication sensor, and a bone conduction microphone and that is configured to be mounted on an ear such that the entry of the ear canal is opened; and a mobile phone or an in-home monitoring unit that receives watching detection signals from the mastication sensor and the bone conduction microphone by means of short-range communication and issues a notification to the outside. The watching detection device has an air conduction microphone and also functions as a hearing aid. When detection signals cannot be received from the mastication sensor or the bone conduction microphone for a predetermined time period, a notification is issued. The mobile phone and the in-home monitoring unit crosscheck watching detection information. The mobile phone also issues a notification of information indicating that there is no abnormality.

[Object] To reduce power consumption even more.

[Solution] Provided is a communication control device including a communication necessity information acquisition unit configured to acquire communication necessity information indicating necessity to communicate with an external device, and a drive control unit configured to control drive of a first communication unit and a second communication unit on a basis of the acquired communication necessity information, the first communication unit communicating with the external device using a first communication mode, the second communication unit communicating with the external device using a second communication mode capable of transferring data at a rate higher than the first communication mode. The drive control unit controls a drive state of each of the first communication unit and the second communication unit to be set to one of an active state capable of communicating with the external device, a power-saving state having lower power consumption than the active state, and an inactive state being a power off state.

According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a character input controller. The character input controller displays a software keyboard including a set of input areas. Each input area of the set includes objects each representing a character. The set of input areas is arranged adjacent to one another in a first direction. The character input controller moves an active input area in the first direction or in a second direction opposite to the first direction, in response to a first operation or a second operation, and changes a character of an active object displayed in the active input area into another character in the active input area, in response to a third operation or a fourth operation.

Provided are a wearable personal digital device and related methods. The wearable personal digital device may comprise a processor, a display, biometric sensors, activity tracking sensors, a memory unit, a communication circuit, a housing, an input unit, a projector, a timepiece unit, a haptic touch control actuator, and a band. The processor may be operable to receive data from an external device, provide a notification to a user based on the data, receive a user input, and perform a command selected based on the user input. The communication circuit may be communicatively coupled to the processor and operable to connect to a wireless network and communicate with the external device. The housing may be adapted to enclose the components of the wearable personal digital device. The band may be adapted to attach to the housing and secure the wearable personal digital device on a user body.

The present invention relates to the control and operation of wireless communication devices and systems compatible with cellular telephones and other devices, and particularly to improvements in the functionality of those devices for use in conjunction with a variety of sports and recreational activities.
