systems and methods for communication prior to acceptance of a phone call. A method of the present invention that is comprised the steps of: generating a phone number; generating a message to be presented upon receipt of a phone call; generating a Rich Contact containing said message and said phone number; transmitting the Rich Contact to a recipient phone device and further storing it therein; initiating a phone call bearing a phone number of the Rich Contact to said recipient phone device; wherein, upon receipt of the phone call on the phone device, a default call application shall identify said phone number of said phone call and present said message from said Rich Contact associated with the phone number.

An electronic device includes a display including a panel layer in which a plurality of pixels are disposed, and a camera module disposed under the display, where the camera module includes an image sensor and a plurality of lenses, and an optical axis of the plurality of lenses passes through the panel layer. A coating layer, which lowers reflectance, is formed on a lens surface of the plurality of lenses when an angle of slope of a partial area of the lens surface is within a specified range. The angle of slope is an angle formed by the lens surface with a normal line perpendicular to the optical axis.

A method to transcribe communications may include obtaining, at a first device, an audio signal that originates at a remote device during a communication session. The audio signal may be shared between the first device and a second device. The method may also include obtaining an indication that the second device is associated with a remote transcription system and in response to the second device being associated with the remote transcription system, directing the audio signal to the remote transcription system by one of the first device and the second device instead of both the first device and the second device directing the audio signal to the remote transcription system when the second device is not associated with the remote transcription system.

Broadband communications devices and methods operate with at least two separate communication paths between the devices and the network, such as the Internet. The broadband devices and methods receive data concurrently over the communication paths or separately. The bandwidth is increased when the separate communication paths are combined. The broadband devices employ packetized data with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technologies combined with RF communications technologies.

The present invention relates to a device and a control method therefor and, more specifically, the device comprises: a memory for storing at least one command; a depth camera for capturing at least one hand of a user; a display module; and a controller for controlling the memory, the depth camera, and the display module. The controller controls the depth camera so as to capture the at least one hand of a user and controls the display module so as to output a visual feedback that changes on the basis of the captured hand of a user.

According to various embodiments, an electronic device includes a first housing; a second housing; at least one hinge device configured to foldably couple the first housing and the second housing with respect to a folding axis, wherein the at least one hinge device includes a rotation bracket link; a first rotation bracket rotatably coupled to the rotation bracket link and connected to the first housing; a second rotation bracket rotatably coupled to the rotation bracket link and connected to the second housing; at least one hinge device including a first arm coupled to the first rotation bracket and a second arm coupled to the second rotation bracket; a flexible display disposed to receive support from the first housing, the second housing, and the hinge device; and a first plate and second plate disposed under the flexible display, wherein the first arm and the second arm have the second plate and a support area for supporting the second plate when the electronic device is in an unfolded state.

A mobile terminal (20), and in particular, a mobile terminal (20), a combined terminal device (30) and a method for splicing control of mobile terminals (20). For a splicable mobile terminal (20), according to a state determination instruction, the mobile terminal (20) is caused to selectively enter a master operating state or a slave operating state; when the mobile terminal (20) operates as a master, a display partitioning unit (a2) partitions the display content of the master according to the display screen resource of individual mobile terminals (20) in a combined terminal device (30), to obtain a plurality of pieces of partitioned display data corresponding to a plurality of the mobile terminals (20) in the combined terminal device (30), and sends corresponding partitioned display data to slaves; and in a case in which the mobile terminal (20) acts as a slave, upon reception of the partitioned display data from the master, a display switching unit (a3) displays the received partitioned display data. The content displayed by the master can be displayed by the slaves, and when there are a large number of slaves, the content can be displayed to a user on a relatively large screen composed of a plurality of slaves, satisfying people's demand for a large display area.

A computer-implemented method for managing calls in a collaboration environment is provided. The method includes receiving, by a processor, a call into a collaboration session of the collaboration environment. The method also includes identifying, by the processor, a user from a plurality of users associated with the collaboration session, based on at least one of contextual information regarding the call and information regarding the plurality of users. The method further includes providing, by the processor, an interface on a device associated with the identified user, wherein the interface enables the identified user to instruct the device to handle the call within the collaboration session.

A mobile terminal comprises: a body frame that is expandable in a first direction and shrinkable in a second direction; a flexible display in which the area of a display unit positioned on the front surface of the body frame is expanded according to the expansion of the body frame; a driving unit that changes the size of the body; a sensing unit that senses a user command; and a control unit that controls the driving unit to expand or shrink the body frame on the basis of the user command sensed by the sensing unit. Thus, a screen of the display unit positioned on the front surface can be expanded through size adjustment. Because a part of the screen always faces the outside, a separate secondary display unit is not required, and the screen may be expanded step by step as needed.

A portable electronic device may include an enclosure including a front cover defining a front exterior surface of the portable electronic device and a rear cover defining a rear exterior surface of the portable electronic device. The portable electronic device may further include a rear-facing camera and a rear-facing flash including a light emitting component defining a plurality of illuminable regions. The light emitting component may be configured to illuminate a first subset of the plurality of illuminable regions to illuminate a first field of view and illuminate a second subset of the plurality of illuminable regions, the second subset different from the first subset, to illuminate a second field of view different from the first field of view.
