Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, providing to a user device a video content item including at least one scene which includes a plurality of advertisement placement opportunities and determining a preference profile for an individual associated with the user device. Aspects further include selecting a group of matching advertisements having advertisement profiles that match the preference profile for the individual and determining a relative prominence score for each advertisement placement opportunity. Aspects further include ordering the matching advertisements according to prominence information specified for each matching advertisement, wherein the prominence information corresponds to a relative desired prominence specified by an advertiser associated with the matching advertisement. Aspects further include providing the ordered matching advertisements to the user device according to the respective prominence information so that a matching advertisement having a greatest desired prominence is displayed in the video content item at an advertisement placement opportunity having a highest relative prominence score. Other embodiments are disclosed.

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.

Abstract: A social communities assistant system may serve as a proxy for a user when communicating with social networking communities. The user may have a single interface on, such as an application, to communicate with a plurality of social communities. As a proxy, the social communities assistant system may manage parallel communications among the social communities on behalf of the user. The social communities assistant system may manage communications of various types. These types of communication may include queries, responses, statements, event notifications, or actions, among other things.

Abstract: A network device includes a processor and a memory. The processor effectuates operations including instantiating an edge share orchestrator that identifies edge devices including a customer device. Edge share orchestrator also determines that the customer device lacks computing power or functionality to perform at least a portion of an existing or augmented service and identifies at least one additional device of the edge devices capable of providing additional computing power or functionality for performing the at least a portion of the existing service or augmented service associated with the customer device. Edge share orchestrator also meshes the additional computing power or functionality of the at least one additional device with the customer device and performs the at least a portion of the existing or augmented service associated with the customer device using the meshed additional computing power or functionality of the at least one additional device and the customer device.

Abstract: A system may include a transaction history controller to store, in a distributed blockchain database, a first chain including a primary head node for a first subscriber to a social media history map service and multiple blocks each representing an online transaction for the first subscriber, and a second chain including a follower head node, linked to the primary head node, for a second subscriber and multiple blocks each representing an online transaction for the second subscriber. The transaction history controller may receive data representing a first online transaction for the second subscriber, format the data for the distributed blockchain database, store the formatted data as a new block in the second chain, receive a request to generate a trend report for a cluster of subscribers that includes the first and second subscribers, and generate the trend report dependent on the blocks in the first and second chains.
