Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving, by a processing system including a processor of an end user device of a user, medication information indicating a reminder to take a medication, where the medication information is received over a wireless network from a virtual healthcare assistant operating on a customer device located at a premises, and where the medication information indicates an identification of a wireless transceiver of a medicine container that houses the medication to be dispensed. The end user device determines a user position and determines a container position of the medicine container. The end user device presents navigation information that facilitates movement by the user towards the medicine container. In other embodiments, a display device can be from among a group of display devices according to a position of the user in the premises; and a video conference can be established with the communication device of the healthcare provider that is presented at the display device of the user. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system identifies a set of target users of user equipment communication devices (UEs), based on reports from the UEs regarding a quality of service (QoS) experienced by the respective UEs; obtaining from internal sources a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) for the communication network; correlating information received from external sources with the data obtained from the internal sources to validate the reports from the UEs; and recommending, in accordance with data records generated by the correlating, an action to improve the QoS for a UE of the set of UEs, where the action includes a modification of the UE and/or a reconfiguration of the network. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A method includes accessing, at a media content provider system, a media stream corresponding to a first media content item. The method further includes generating a media content file based on the media stream and a second media content item that is different than the first media content item. A first portion of the media content file may include media data of the media stream, and a second portion of the media content file may include header data and an indicator of a location of the second media content item.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for web activity concealment. A system can include a memory storing instructions that, upon execution by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations. The system can be communicatively coupled to a network. The operations can include detecting a network message that is directed to a target source, where the network message is generated by a client application of a machine-to-machine device. The operations can include identifying, based on the network message, a client action that is associated with the client application. The operations can include counterpoising the client action by generating a supplemental action command. The operations can include providing the supplemental action command to the machine-to-machine device.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a plurality of mobile devices implementing an application, and identifying a group of mobile devices from among the plurality of mobile devices according to a first movement pattern of the group of mobile devices. Further aspects can include identifying a first mobile edge compute (MEC) node at a first location according to a proximity threshold that does not include a MEC agent for the application, and identifying a second MEC node at a second location that includes the MEC agent for the application according to the proximity threshold. Additional aspects can include determining a first network relative performance (NRP) metric associated with a first communications between the group of mobile devices and the second MEC node. The first communications are associated with the application. Other embodiments are disclosed.
