Abstract: In one example, a method performed by a processing system including at least one processor includes rendering an extended reality environment, receiving a request from a user endpoint device of a first user in the extended reality environment to place an avatar of the first user in the extended reality environment, placing the avatar of the first user within the extended reality environment, detecting that a second user is attempting to interact with the avatar of the first user, detecting conditions surrounding the avatar of the first user, identifying, based on the conditions, a set of candidate avatar personas for the first user, selecting a first avatar persona from among the set of candidate avatar personas, and rendering the avatar of the first user with the first avatar persona in the extended reality environment.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for managing and sharing sensitive information using blockchain technology. In certain embodiments, a transaction may be generated using information and a set of conditions, wherein satisfying the set of conditions by a requester of the information determines access to the information by the requester and the set of conditions include a count for a number of queries allowed for accessing the information. As requesters access the information, the count is decremented or adjusted and updated transactions are stored on the blockchain ledger until the count adjusts to a predetermined number, such zero. The information and the set of conditions may be defined by the user.

Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, and devices for tracking an accessing of a media content via a watermark embedded by a network node are disclosed. For example, a processing system including at least one processor may receive, from a first network node, a first copy of a watermark that is embedded by the first network node in a media content. The processing system may further receive a notification comprising a second copy of the watermark and an identification of a first endpoint device, the notification associated with an accessing of the media content by the first endpoint device, and record the accessing of the media content by the first endpoint device.

Abstract: An example method performed by a processing system includes receiving a request from a first user to render an extended reality environment, wherein the request includes a definition of a first policy that governs user behavior within the extended reality environment, rendering the extended reality environment by presenting content contributed by at least one user in the extended reality environment, monitoring the extended reality environment to ensure that the rendering results in a compliance of the extended reality environment with the first policy, detecting that a portion of the content contributed by at least one other user of the extended reality environment results in the extended reality environment failing to comply with the first policy, and modifying a presentation of the portion of content in the extended reality environment in response to the detecting, wherein the modifying results in the compliance of the extended reality environment with the first policy.

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: 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: 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: A method includes receiving, at a media device, media content from a media content server. A portion of the media content includes a first item concurrently depicted with a second item. The method includes receiving an input indicating a selection of the second item within the media content. The method includes, in response to the input, sending an identification request for information corresponding to the second item to an identification server in response to the input. The identification request includes data relating to a depiction of the second item. The method also includes receiving the information from the identification server in response to the identification request.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a blockchain service device includes an interface, a memory, and a processor. The interface receives a request to perform a blockchain service. The blockchain service includes generating a local key using a private key stored on a user device. The request includes a transaction restraint. The memory stores software used to generate an input to generate the local key. The processor generates the input in response to the request. The input is used to generate a local key that includes the at least one transaction restraint. The interface communicates the input and receives a first block in response to the communication of the input. The first block is generated using the local key and the transaction restraint. The processor inserts the first block in a blockchain, wherein inserting the first block in the blockchain preauthorizes a transaction that is limited by the transaction restraint.
