Abstract: Resource-sensitive token-based access point selection is disclosed. A user equipment (UE) can generate a request for resources that can be shared with an selection component remote from the UE. The request for resources can be generated independent of the UE receiving information about an access point (AP) in range of the UE. The selection component can pair the UE with an AP resource based on AP data and UE data. The selection component can generate a token comprising information related to the pairing. The UE can receive the token via a device other than the AP or via the AP. The token can be employed by the UE to initiate a link to the AP to enable use of the AP resource by the UE. The link can be resource sensitive in view of the request for resources and available AP resources.

Abstract translation: 公开了基于资源敏感的基于令牌的接入点选择。 用户设备（UE）可以生成可以与远离UE的选择组件共享的资源的请求。 可以独立于UE接收关于UE范围内的接入点（AP）的信息来生成资源请求。 选择组件可以基于AP数据和UE数据将UE与AP资源进行配对。 选择组件可以生成包括与配对相关的信息的令牌。 UE可以经由AP以外的设备或AP接收令牌。 该令牌可以由UE采用来发起到AP的链路，以使UE能够使用AP资源。 鉴于对资源和可用的AP资源的请求，该链路可以是资源敏感的。

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a media server having a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate sending a data stream to a display device. The data stream may include an identification thereof. Upon receiving the identification from a user, the media server associates the data stream with the user. The media server may send to the user, a listing of the media services to which the user has subscribed. Upon receiving, from the user, a selection of a selected media service, the media server streams the selected media service to the display device over the data stream. The data stream may be controlled with the user for as long as the media server detects the user in a vicinity of the display device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Crowd-location based analytics for transactions are provided. An assembly of mobile devices in a cell sector (or, in some embodiments, a cell) of wireless coverage can be determined. The assembly can be referred to as a crowd and can comprise a number of mobile devices greater than the cell sector's average device occupation. Organization entities located within the cell sector also can be identified. A demand or interest for an asset (e.g., a service or merchandise) can be determined for the mobile device based at least on a device profile. The demand or interest can be associated with the organization entity that can provide the asset. Promotional information related to the asset can be sent to the mobile device and/or a device associated with the organization entity. The mobile device can present at least a portion of such information and a transaction related to the asset can be performed otherwise facilitated.

Abstract: Methods, computer-readable storage media and apparatuses for privacy information management are disclosed. A processor stores privacy information of a user, receives over a communication network associated with the network service provider, an inquiry directed to the user from a business entity, the business entity having previously conducted a transaction with the user, the inquiry in a polar question format, determines an answer responsive to the inquiry from the privacy information, and provides over the communication network associated with the network service provider, the answer to the business entity when a threshold of a number of inquiries from the business entity has not been exceeded for a time period.
