Abstract:
User imaging terminals (such as mobile phones with camera or video functionality) may be used to take images that are used to create an image stream of an event. In one implementation, a device may receive the images and transmit the images to one or more second users. The device may receive indications, from the second users, of whether the images are approved by the second users for incorporation into an image stream; and generate the image stream, based on the images that are approved by the second users. The image stream may be transmitted to one or more display devices.
Abstract:
A server device is configured to receive, from a proxy server, a request by a user device to access a network; obtain information associated with the user device that includes an identifier associated with the user device and context information associated with the user device; determine a level of trust associated with the user device based on the identifier and the context information, where the level of trust is a measure of security risk associated with the user device; generate an access token based on the level of trust, where the access token identifies a level at which the user device is authorized to access the network; and send, to the user device via the proxy server, the access token that enables the proxy server to authorize the user device to access the network at the level identified by the access token.
Abstract:
A system receives subscriber configuration information, for an emergency forking/notification service, that includes criteria for initiating the forking/notification service and contact information for a recipient of the forking/notification service. The system receives an emergency call from a calling device and route the emergency call to a public safety answering point (PSAP). The system identifies the emergency call as a candidate for the emergency forking/notification service based on information associated with the calling device and the criteria for initiating the forking/notification service, and automatically initiates a forking/notification session to notify the recipient that an emergency call has been initiated from the calling device.
Abstract:
A system enables voice authentication via a network. The system may include an intelligent voice response engine operatively coupled to the network for receiving transaction or access requests from a plurality of telecommunications devices over the network. A speech recognition and verification services engine may be operatively coupled to the network and a database may be operatively coupled to the speech recognition and verification services engine for storing user voice print profiles. The speech recognition and verification services engine may receive a speaker verification call from the intelligent voice response engine and perform speaker verification on the received speaker verification call based on the stored user voice print profiles. The speech recognition and verification services engine may generate a verification score based upon results of the speaker verification.
Abstract:
A device receives an identity claim associated with a user of a shared device, and determines whether the identity claim is valid. The device also determines one of an individual identification or a group identification to affiliate with the shared device when the identity claim is determined to be valid. The device further provides one or more preferences and privileges to the shared device based on the one of an individual identification or a group identification affiliated with the shared device.
Abstract:
A method may include transmitting or receiving a communication in a non-social network, where the communication is between a user and one or more other users, selecting a social network based on the communication, accessing the social network, searching for social network information related to the one or more other users, retrieving the social network information based on the searching, and providing a non-social network service based on the social network information.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for managing content for access during a media session. Content or information relating to the content is received from a user over a data network. A message is generated, according to an application layer protocol, specifying an address for subsequent retrieval, by the user, of the content over a communication session established over the data network utilizing the application layer protocol.
Abstract:
An approach providing the efficient use of speech synthesis in rendering text content as audio in a communications network. The communications network can include a telephony network and a data network in support of, for example, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services. A speech synthesis system receives a text string from either a telephony network, or a data network. The speech synthesis system determines whether a rendered audio file of the text string is stored in a database and to render the text string to output the rendered audio file, if the rendered audio is determined not to exist. The rendered audio file is stored in the database for re-use according to a hash value generated by the speech synthesis system based on the text string.
Abstract:
A system receives, from a first user, a communication request for a second user and determines, in response to receiving the communication request, whether a trigger is satisfied. The system may aggregate, in response to determining that the trigger is satisfied, content of different types to form multimedia content and provide the multimedia content to the first user.
Abstract:
An automated multimedia call center device may receive a verbal request for information from a user device during a multimedia session between the automated multimedia call center device and the user device. The automated multimedia call center device may further obtain a group of recognition results for the verbal request using speech recognition, cause at least two recognition results of the group of recognition results to be visually displayed on the user device, receive selection of one recognition result of the at least two recognition results, perform a search using the selected one recognition result to obtain multimedia content, and provide the multimedia content to the user device.
