Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method including identifying, by a system including a processor, a second subtask from a first subtask to generate a collective task to be performed for a communication device and determining, by the system, a bearer path for enabling the first resource to coordinate with the second resource to perform the collective task. The first subtask and the second subtask are associated with a first resource and a second resource identified from a database of available resources for performing the collective task. The first resource performs the first subtask, and the second resource performs the second subtask. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method for A method, comprising enabling, by a system comprising a processor, a first modification of a first user profile at a secondary data repository of a communication network, wherein the first modification is directed by a first application operating at a first communication device of the communication network, identifying a usage event that is associated with the first communication device according to the first modification to the first user profile, and replicating a second modification to a second user profile at a primary data repository according to a change in operation of a second application associated with the usage event that is identified to the first communication device, where the replicating is according to an update policy for the primary data repository. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving, at a media server from an electronic device, a first request for a video content item. The method includes selecting, at the media server, a particular version of the video content item to communicate to the electronic device based on a geographic location of the electronic device. The particular version is a vector graphics format version responsive to the geographic location corresponding to a first coverage area. The particular version is a bitmap graphics format version responsive to the geographic location corresponding to a second coverage area different from the first coverage area. The method also includes communicating the particular version of the video content item from the media server to the electronic device.
Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting a request for a network service between two network nodes and identifying a network path between the two network nodes, wherein the network path is realized by equipment performing a number of network functions. A first network function of the number of network functions is associated with a first number of redundant virtualized network resources performing at least a similar network function as the first network function. Usage metrics are determined corresponding to the first number of redundant virtualized network resources and a first virtualized network resource of the first number of redundant virtualized network resources is assigned to the network path based on the usage metrics to obtain a first assigned virtualized network resource. The network service is provided between the two network nodes using the first assigned virtualized network resource. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method for determining an emotional characteristic associated with a user according to biologic information received from a mobile communication device, receiving, from the mobile communication device, availability information associated with the user, modifying a first version of a media selection according to the emotional characteristic of the user to generate a second version of the media selection, and transmitting the second version of the media selection to the mobile communication device associated with the user for presentation at the mobile communication device. The modifying can include selecting, for inclusion in the second version of the media selection, a first portion of the first version of the media selection corresponding to the emotional characteristic. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method comprising caching, by a server comprising a processor, a subscriber profile in a network repository to create a cached subscriber profile. The cached subscriber profile comprises a replica of stored subscriber data. The method also comprises updating the cached subscriber profile in accordance with subscriber use of a first application from a first application provider to produce a first updated version of the cached subscriber profile. The method further comprises updating the first updated version of the cached subscriber profile in accordance with subscriber use of a second application from a second application provider to produce a second updated version of the cached subscriber profile. The first and second updated versions of the cached subscriber profile are accessible by the first application provider and by the second application provider. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method including identifying, by a system including a processor, a second subtask from a first subtask to generate a collective task to be performed for a communication device and determining, by the system, a bearer path for enabling the first resource to coordinate with the second resource to perform the collective task. The first subtask and the second subtask are associated with a first resource and a second resource identified from a database of available resources for performing the collective task. The first resource performs the first subtask, and the second resource performs the second subtask. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
A method and system for managing M2M traffic in a network is provided. The M2M device sends a message that includes a machine identity for the M2M device. A query is submitted to a database that correlates the machine identity with a QoS parameter or a priority. The message is assigned to one of a plurality of input queues based on the assigned QoS parameter or priority. Each input queue is associated with a delay period so that the message is held in the queue for a period less than the delay period.
Abstract:
A system that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving video content at a mobile device via a network from a video server wherein a single version of the video content is provided by the video server to a group of mobile devices that includes the mobile device, utilizing the mobile device for adjusting dimensions of an area of attention in an image of the video content based on a desired display resolution to generate an adjusted area of attention, utilizing the mobile device for adjusting dimensions of a peripheral portion that surrounds the area of attention in at least one of a horizontal or vertical direction based on the adjusted area of attention to generate an adjusted peripheral portion of an adjusted image, and replacing the image with the adjusted image during presentation of the video content at a display of the mobile device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
