Abstract: A social communities assistant system may serve as a proxy for a user when communicating with social networking communities. The user may have a single interface on, such as an application, to communicate with a plurality of social communities. As a proxy, the social communities assistant system may manage parallel communications among the social communities on behalf of the user. The social communities assistant system may manage communications of various types. These types of communication may include queries, responses, statements, event notifications, or actions, among other things.

Abstract: Multi-agent input coordination can be used to for acoustic collaboration of multiple listening agents deployed in smart devices on a premises, improving the accuracy of identifying requests and specifying where that request should be honored, improving quality of detection, and providing better understanding of user commands and user intent throughout the premises. A processor or processors such as those in a smart speaker can identify audio requests received through at least two agents in a network and determine at which of the agents to actively process a selected audio request. The identification can make use of techniques such as location context and secondary trait analysis. The audio request can include simultaneous audio requests received through at least two agents, differing audio requests received from different requesters, or both.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system generates a list of communications desired by a user, and determines an attentiveness level of the user with respect to equipment of the user currently in use, to determine whether the user is available to participate in a desired communication. The method also includes accessing equipment of a target party of the communication to determine an attentiveness level of the target party with respect to equipment of the target party, to determine whether the target party is available to participate in the communication. The method also includes generating a notice at the equipment of the user that the target party is available; and initiating the communication between the equipment of the user and the equipment of the target party. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Services for trust conveyances of entities can be provided and managed. In connection with a transaction between first and second devices, a trust management component (TMC) can indicate trust levels of entities associated with the devices with regard to the transaction and/or an action attempted by an entity. With regard to an action attempted by the first entity, the trust level of the first entity can be evaluated to determine whether it is high enough to allow the action to proceed or to have the second entity respond to the action accordingly. If it is not high enough, the second entity, using the second device, can request a trust conveyance from the first entity via the TMC. The TMC can adjust the respective trust levels based on the outcome(s) of the action(s) of the respective entities with regard to executing the transaction.

Abstract: A system of cameras can be used to generate a complete field of view within an edge network. For example, one camera can have a field of view where part of the view is obstructed by an object and/or by the camera's orientation. Yet another camera that is a part of the edge network can supplement the view of the first camera by providing an alternate view. The two views can be stitched together by a coordinate system such that a complete field of view can be utilized by both cameras. Additionally, where a field of view is not available by any stationary camera, the system can dispatch a mobile camera to help supplement the views.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method that include combining an offer with media content to generate a notice within a portion of the media content, providing the notice in the designated portions of the media content with the notice during a media content presentation at equipment of a user, receiving an indication of interest in the portion, retrieving marketing information for the portion of the media content based on the user profile including location based information, time based information, and activity information, monitoring an activity of the mobile communication device to determine when the mobile communication device information satisfies a location, time, and activity information that matches the marketing information and determining a communication for the user based on the marketing information and the monitoring of the activity of the mobile communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method including identifying an upcoming event associated with a first member of a group, where the upcoming event is associated with an interest, by a second member of the group, in a purchase of a product associated with the first member of the group, generating a set of weighted characteristics associated with the product according to a first ranking of characteristics associated with the product and the first member and a second ranking of the characteristics associated with the product and the second member, applying the set of weighted characteristics to product offerings for fulfilling the request to purchase the product to generate a plurality of matrix scores associated with the product offerings, determining a ranked list of the product offerings for the fulfilling the request to purchase the product according to the plurality of matrix scores, negotiating, with a retail virtual assistant, a purchase arrangement associated with a first product offering, and executing an automatic purchase of the first product offering according to the purchase arrangement. Other embodiments are disclosed.
