苹果申请新专利
iPhone
可拦截诈骗电话
Apple feels your spam call pain. The
company apparently filed a patent called
of
spoofed
call
information
that
would
enable
an
iPhone
to
check
whether a call is legitimate.
苹果公司已经感受到了你对骚扰电话的烦恼。日前，该公司申请了一项名
为“检测欺
骗性呼叫信息”的专利，该专利可以让
iPhone
检查来电是
否合法。
If it's not, the phone
would automatically either display a warning to
the user
or prevent call alerts, such
as ringing and vibration. The patent was first
spotted by
Apple Insider.
如果
不合法，那么手机会自动向用户显示警告或阻止来电铃声和震动。这
项专利最先是由
Apple Insider
提出的。
How can a phone identify a spam or
spoofed call?
那么，一台手机如何识别骚扰电话呢？
The
patent
makes
clear
that
the
phone
would
check
against
established,
legitimate call parameters in
order to
determine the
validity of a call that's being
connected.
专利明确规定，手机将根据已建立的合
法通话参数进行检查，以确定来电
的真实性。
The phone would analyze the information
being sent over the call, including
network equipment identifiers, server
identifiers and more.
手机可以分析出骚扰来电发出的信息，
包括网络设备标识符、服务器标识
符等等。
Apple isn't the only handset
manufacturer working on this kind of technology.
At
Google's
event
this
week,
the
company
introduced
a
Call
Screen
feature
that
utilizes Google Assistant to help weed
out spam calls.
苹果并不是唯一一家致力于研究此类技术的手机制造
商。
谷歌公司在本周
的活动中推出了一项屏幕呼叫功能，利用谷
歌助手来清除垃圾电话。
Additionally,
an
update
to
the
company's
phone
app
from
earlier
this
year
sends spam calls directly to voicemail.
此外，该公司今年早些时候对手机应用程序进行升级，可以将骚扰电话直
接转移到语音信箱。
It's important
to note that Apple files many patents that it
doesn't actually do
anything with.
值得注意的是，苹果公司申请了许多实际上并没有商业应用的专利。
But with spam calls on the rise, and
people getting more and more frustrated

by them (how
many of
you actually answer phone calls
from
numbers
you don't
recognize anymore?), having a feature
like this on the iPhone could be incredibly
useful.
但随着骚扰电话数量的增加，人们对骚扰电话
越来越无奈（你们中有多少
人实际上接听了自己不认识的电话号码？）
< br>，
在
iPhone
手机上安装这
样的功能
可能会非常有用。
学生党怎么挣零花钱？
学费那么高，
兜里钱太少，
想要有点零花钱，
学生党
只能抽空做点兼职了。

挣到钱的，
你所需要的只是拓宽思路，好好利用网络平台，发挥自己的优势。

mornings. These jobs typically involve manually
transferring data from a print source
or computer file to
a spreadsheet.
Freelance
data entry gigs are often
posted in online want ads, so peruse your local
listings to
find an opportunity.

3. SHARE YOUR OPINIONS
分享意见
If you’re
strategic about it, you can get paid simply for
sharing your thought
s
with
companies
and
answering
a
few
biographical
questions.
If
you
do
your
research,
you’ll find that plenty of reliable
outlets will let you earn hard cash for
filling
out
questionnaires.
Focus
groups
are
another
route
worth
investigating.
These,
too,
pay
you

arrange online focus groups, so you'll

You may not have finished your degree
yet, but you have valuable skills and
knowledge that you can share with other
students. Tutoring opportunities for local
elementary and high school students
will likely be easy to find on local job listings
and classified ads. If you’d rather
work from the comfort of your dorm room, there
are online tutoring services that will
match you up with students.
也许你还没获得学位，<
/p>
但是你掌握的一些宝贵技能和知识却可以和其他学

自由职业
Freelancing isn’t just for writers and
photographers anymore. Type “freelance

translate their
German homework, or
making customized birthday greeting videos.

able to turn your workouts into paying gigs. Gyms
and studios
are
often
looking
for
instructors
who
can
take
on
a
class
or
two.
If
you’re
knowledgeable and confident enough to
lead a group through a workout, you can
leave the gym with some extra money in
your pocket.

如果你懂健身，
