Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system obtains physical and social environmental data for a communication device user, and provides content for presentation at the device. First reaction data, obtained via sensors associated with the user, indicate the user's reaction to presentation of the content; the data is analyzed to determine user affinity for the content in a context of the physical and social environments. The content is modified during the presentation; second reaction data is obtained and analyzed to determine a second user affinity for the modified content. If the affinity is enhanced, the modified content is sent to other users' equipment via a social network. Affinity responses regarding the modified content are analyzed, and a set of users is identified as an affinity group; additional content is transmitted to equipment of the affinity group. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: An example method includes detecting a request from a first user endpoint device to play back an extended reality media, detecting a moderation rule associated with a user of the first user endpoint device, presenting the extended reality media on the first user endpoint device, while monitoring for content within the extended reality media that triggers the moderation rule, determining, in response to detecting content in the extended reality media that triggers the moderation rule, a modification to be made to the extended reality media that would prevent the extended reality media from triggering the moderation rule, and presenting the modification on the user endpoint device, simultaneously with the extended reality media, to render a modified extended reality media.

Abstract: A method, where the method includes discovering an event where at least one device is offline and instantiating an emergency mode causing the at least one device to permit data or message aggregation. The method further includes defining a community of devices including an identity of the at least one device and establishing communication between the at least one device and a mobile aggregation device. The method further includes when the mobile aggregation device is in communication with the at least one device, aggregating a payload of a message or data from the at least one device and the community having an artificial intelligence instantiated as a virtual network function or network device, the community communicating with the mobile aggregation device to receive data from the at least one device, and the artificial intelligence being configured to assess the event based on the data obtained by the mobile aggregation device.

Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to facilitating the allocation, scheduling, and management of network slice resources. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a processor and a memory that can store executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations. The operations can include selecting a resource configuration for a network slice based on characteristics of a user device and historical data related to the user device, resulting in a selected resource configuration. The operations can further include facilitating communicating resource configuration data representative of the selected resource configuration for the network slice to a network device for allocation to the user device connected to the network device. The operations can further include facilitating allocating resources to the network slice in accordance with the selected resource configuration.

Abstract: In one example, a method for generating and displaying markers in XR environments to enhance social engagement among users includes presenting, by a processing system, an extended reality environment to a first user, wherein the extended reality environment combines elements of a real world environment surrounding the first user with elements of a virtual world, inferring, by the processing system, a marker to be associated with a second user in the extended reality environment, wherein the marker indicates information about the second user; and modifying, by the processing system, the extended reality environment to incorporate the marker in a manner that is apparent to the first user.

Abstract: Propensities of entities, comprising human users and virtual assistants (VAs), for various behaviors can be determined and used to facilitate managing interactions between entities. An interaction management component (IMC) can determine an aggregate propensity metric relating to a propensity of an entity to engage in a behavior based on a cross-correlation of respective propensity metrics relating to respective propensities of the entity to engage in respective behaviors. During an interaction between entities, including the entity, IMC can determine an action to perform to interact with the entity based on the aggregate propensity metric and a context determined for the interaction. The action can be one that is predicted to elicit a defined action by the entity in response to the action. During (or after) the interaction, IMC can update behavior attributes, context, and/or aggregate propensity metric associated with the entity based on actions performed during the interaction.
