Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a predetermined comment of a number of predetermined comments that relate to a content item being presented by the media processor. A selection is identified of a characteristic of the content item of a number of predetermined characteristics of the content item. Posts are presented on a display device that is presenting the content item, wherein the posts are a subset of a group of posts related to the content item, and wherein the posts are selected based on the selection of the characteristic of the content item. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, dividing a reward token in a reward token data base into a plurality of reward token pieces based on a selection of plurality of end user data delivery vehicles, sensing end user activity on a communication network on one of the plurality of end user data delivery vehicles at one of a plurality of data delivery vehicle servers, sending from a first one of the plurality of data delivery vehicle servers, a first one of the plurality of reward token pieces to the end user on a first one of the plurality of end user data delivery vehicles, and sending from a second one of the plurality of data delivery vehicle servers, a second one of the plurality of reward token pieces to the end user on a second one of the plurality of end user data delivery vehicles.
Abstract:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a processor operable to determine whether a correlation exists between first products or services consumed by a subscriber leader and second products or services consumed by a plurality of subscriber followers. The first and second products or services can be distributed by a media service provider over a communication system and can be consumed by way of one or more media processors. The processor can be further operable to identify a plurality of market sector classifications for each of the second products or services consumed, to assess a plurality of values of consumption for the plurality of market sector classifications, and to determine a plurality of marketable values for the subscriber leader. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
A method or apparatus that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a method for retrieving a plurality of sensory information from an environment of a device. A digital representation of the environment of the device is identified corresponding to the plurality of sensory information from the environment of the device. A media presentation element of the device associated with media content of the device is identified. A user interface of the media presentation element is adapted to modify a presentation of the media content by the media presentation element of the device according to the digital representation of the environment of the device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a device having a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor can be operable to transmit a radio frequency signal directed to a radio frequency identifier tag carried by a first item, receive usage information from the radio frequency identifier tag, determine a measure of wear and tear of the first item from the usage information, compare the measure of wear and tear to a threshold, detect from the comparison a state of usage of the first item, and submit a notice representative of the state of usage of the first item. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for monitoring a patient's medication adherence. In one example, an apparatus includes a set of contact pins to electrically engage a conductive trace circuit of a unit dose packaging and to generate a signal in response to a break in the conductive trace circuit, a processor comprising a plurality of analog channels to detect and record the signal, a cellular modem to send, via a data network to which the apparatus is connected, information about the signal to a medication adherence monitoring service, a housing containing the set of contact pins, the processor, and the cellular modem, wherein the housing is configured for removable insertion of the unit dose packaging, and a lock to reversibly lock the unit dose packaging in the housing.

Abstract:
A method includes identifying, at a computing device, multiple segments of video content based on a context sensitive term. Each segment of the multiple segments is associated with captioning data of the video content. The method also includes determining, at the computing device, first contextual information of a first segment of the multiple segments based on a set of factors. The method further includes comparing the first contextual information to particular contextual information that corresponds to content of interest. The method further includes in response to a determination that the first contextual information matches the particular contextual information, storing a first searchable tag associated with the first segment.

Abstract:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may obtain images of an object captured at different viewing angles of a first portion of a viewing perspective of the object, and generate additional images for a second portion of the viewing perspective based on interpolation, extrapolation or both of the captured images. Holographic content for the object based on the captured images and the additional images is generated, in accordance with load balancing. The holographic content and second video content of a second user at a second location are provided to the first local device for presentation at a first display device that simulates the second user and the object being present at the first location and simulates interaction of a first user at the first location with the object based on movement of the first user with respect to the holographic content. Other embodiments are disclosed.
