Abstract: A server may be configured to receive an indication that a first user device stores a particular content item; receive, from a second user device, a request for content; and determine that the requested content is available from the first user device. The determining may include determining that the particular content item stored by the first user device corresponds to the request for content, and determining that a local peer connection is available between the first user device and the second user device. The server may further output, to the first user device, an instruction to output the requested content to the second user device via the local peer connection, and/or the server may output, to the second user device, information which may allow the second user device to request the content from the first user device via a local peer connection.

Abstract: A system may use optical character recognition (“OCR”) techniques to identify license plates or other textual information associated with vehicles. Based on this OCR information, the system may determine additional information, such as users associated with the vehicles. The system may further obtain other information, such as history information associated with the vehicles and/or the users (e.g., via an “opt-in” data collection service). Ad content may be selected based on trends associated with the users and/or vehicles, and may be presented via “smart” billboards (e.g., billboards that may dynamically display different content).

Abstract translation: 系统可以使用光学字符识别（“OCR”）技术来识别与车辆相关联的车牌或其它文本信息。 基于该OCR信息，系统可以确定附加信息，例如与车辆相关联的用户。 该系统还可以获得诸如与车辆和/或用户相关联的历史信息（例如经由“选择加入”数据收集服务）的其它信息。 可以基于与用户和/或车辆相关联的趋势来选择广告内容，并且可以通过“智能”广告牌（例如，可以动态显示不同内容的广告牌）来呈现广告内容。

Abstract: A reporting server receives reports on content items being accessed by a plurality of UE devices through a first multicast/broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN). The reporting server determines, for each content item being accessed, which of the UE devices is accessing the content item. The UE devices are then grouped by the accessed content items such that at least one content item is accessed by a first group of UE devices and not accessed by a second group of UE devices. The reporting server then sends data representing the first and second groups to a broadcast video provisioning system (BVPS) with a recommendation to split the MBSFN into second and third MBSFNs. In another implementation, the reporting server receives reports from fourth and fifth MBSFNs and recommends joining the fourth and fifth MBSFNs to form a sixth MBSFN if broadcast bandwidth requirements are met.

Abstract translation: 报告服务器通过第一多播/广播单频网络（MBSFN）接收由多个UE设备正在访问的内容项目的报告。 对于正在被访问的每个内容项目，报告服务器确定哪个UE设备正在访问该内容项目。 然后，UE设备被所访问的内容项目分组，使得至少一个内容项目被第一组UE设备访问，并且不被第二组UE设备访问。 然后，报告服务器将表示第一组和第二组的数据发送到广播视频供应系统（BVPS），建议将MBSFN分为第二和第三MBSFN。 在另一实现中，报告服务器从第四和第五MBSFN接收报告，并建议加入第四和第五MBSFN以形成第六MBSFN，如果满足广播带宽要求。

Abstract: Voice calls may be filtered and/or modified to enhance the clarity of a speaker's voice. In one implementation, a device may receive an indication, from a caller associated with a call, that speech of the caller is to be modified to deemphasize an accent of the caller. The device may modify, based on the received indication, the speech of the caller to deemphasize the accent of the caller and transmit the modified speech to a callee associated with the call.

Abstract: A system described herein may maintain information indicating groups of wireless trip devices. The system may maintain information associating each wireless trip device, of a plurality of wireless trip devices, with respective edge computing devices. The system may receive a wireless alert from a particular wireless trip device, which indicates an electrical fault condition. The system may identify a particular group of wireless trip devices with which the wireless alert is associated, and may identify a particular set of edge computing devices that are associated with respective wireless trip devices of the group of wireless trip devices. The system may output, to each edge computing device of the identified particular set of edge computing devices, a notification based on the wireless alert, and each edge computing device may wirelessly communicate respective wireless trip devices based on the wireless alert received from the particular wireless trip device.

Abstract: Techniques described herein may allow for the granting and revoking of temporary access, for User Equipment (“UE”) devices, to a wireless network. Multiple UEs may be registered with a group, where only a limited quantity of UEs in the group may be active at a given time. Once granted access, a UE device may have limits on the access, such as a maximum duration and/or a data limit. When a particular UE device, in a group, requests access to the network, a Group Device Authentication Server (“GDAS”) may determine whether to grant the access, based on how many other UEs in the group (if any) currently have access. The GDAS may also revoke the access once granted (e.g., once the maximum duration has been reached).
