Automated Device Provisioning and Activation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method comprising providing a plurality of links to end-user devices communicatively coupled to a network system, a particular link of the plurality supporting control-plane communications between the network system and a particular user over one or more wireless access networks, the message comprising payload for delivery to the particular user and an identifier identifying a particular device agent on the particular enduser device.
Patent

Preferred contact group centric interface

TL;DR: A preferred contact group centric interface for a communication device can be used to facilitate communications by a user as mentioned in this paper, which can be arranged to activate from a user's "home page" on the display, from an idle screen that is accessed after a timeout period expires, or any other appropriate mechanism that activates the preferred contact groups centric experience.
Patent

Eyepiece with uniformly illuminated reflective display

TL;DR: In this paper, an eyepiece includes a mechanical frame adapted to secure a lens and an image source facility above the lens, which includes an LED, a planar illumination facility and a reflective display.
