Abstract: A method includes sending, from a first electronic device to a second electronic device, a first capability request based on a first schedule. The first electronic device is associated with a first user and the second electronic device is associated with a second user. A first relationship strength is associated with a relationship of the first user and the second user and the first schedule is based on the first relationship strength. The method also includes sending, from the first electronic device to a third electronic device, a second capability request based on a second schedule. The third electronic device is associated with a third user and a second relationship strength is associated with a relationship of the first user and the third user. The second schedule is based on the second relationship strength and the second relationship strength is different from the first relationship strength.

Abstract: System(s) and method(s) are provided to configure access rights to wireless resources and telecommunication service(s) supplied through a set of access points (APs). Access to wireless resources is authorized by access attributes in access control list(s) (ACL(s)) while a profile of service attributes linked to the ACL(s) regulate provision of telecommunication service(s). Access and service attributes can be automatically or dynamically configured, at least in part, in response to changes in data that directly or indirectly affects an operation environment in which the set of APs is deployed. Automatic or dynamic configuration of access or service attributes enable control or coordination of wireless service provided through the set of APs; degree of control or coordination is determined at least in part by enablement or disablement of disparate services for disparate devices at disparate access points at disparate times and with disparate service priority.

Abstract translation: 提供系统和方法以配置对通过一组接入点（AP）提供的无线资源和电信服务的访问权限。 访问无线资源由访问控制列表（ACL）中的访问属性授权，而链接到ACL的服务属性的配置文件规定提供电信服务。 访问和服务属性可以自动或动态地配置，至少部分地响应于直接或间接影响部署AP组的操作环境的数据变化。 访问或服务属性的自动或动态配置能够控制或协调通过一组AP提供的无线服务; 至少部分地通过在不同的接入点在不同的时间和不同的服务优先级上为不同的设备实现不同的服务的不同的服务来确定控制或协调的程度。

Abstract: An architecture is provided that can facilitate and/or transmit notifications based upon device presence techniques in connection with a wireless communications network. For example, when certain mobile devices register with a particular network entity (e.g., a femtocell) that services a particular target location (e.g., place of residence), then such registration can be leveraged to indicate presence at the target location. Accordingly, notifications can be delivered to custodian devices that indicate the presence information if certain predetermined conditions or criteria are satisfied.

Abstract: In one example, a method and apparatus for optimizing a software defined network configuration are disclosed. In one example, the method determines a first network relative performance parameter for a current configuration of a network, based on respective weighting profiles associated with services for which the network carries data. The method then determines a second network relative performance parameter for a proposed configuration of the network, based on the respective weighting profiles associated with the services for which the network carries data. The proposed configuration is implemented in the network when the second network relative performance parameter is greater than the first network relative performance parameter.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to perform service specific route selection in communication networks are disclosed. Example route selection methods disclosed herein include: mapping performance measurements corresponding to network components to performance parameters to form mapped performance parameters, the network components being in at least one of a first candidate path and a second candidate path between a first network node and a second network node; calculating, based on the mapped performance parameters, first relative performance parameters for the network components, the first relative performance parameters corresponding to one or more services; calculating, based on the first relative performance parameters, second relative performance parameters for the respective candidate paths, the second relative performance parameters corresponding to one or more of the services; and, based on the second relative performance parameters, routing first service data corresponding to a first of the services on the first candidate path and routing second service data corresponding to a second of the services on the second candidate path.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for arranging event opportunities are disclosed. For example, the method detects the event opportunity that matches user profiles of at least two users who are unassociated with one another, verifies a safety parameter for one of the at least two users, wherein the safety parameter is defined by the one of the at least two users, and if the safety parameter is satisfied, sending an invitation to the event opportunity to each of the at least two users.

Abstract: A method includes determining, at a first computing device, first capabilities of a second computing device. The method includes setting, at the first computing device, a user configurable option based on a first capability of a second computing device, a second capability associated with a bandwidth of a network, or a combination thereof. The method includes generating, at the first computing device, multimedia content. The multimedia content includes a first layer and a second layer. The first layer includes first media content received from a first content source. A first bit rate of the first layer is determined based on the user configurable option. The method also includes sending the multimedia content to the second computing device.

Abstract: An architecture that can facilitate initiation of an automatic synchronization operation based upon presence information in connection with a wireless communications network is provided. For example, when certain mobile devices register with a particular network entity (e.g., a femtocell) that services a particular target location (e.g., place of residence), then such registration can be leveraged to indicate presence at the target location. Accordingly, synchronization between the mobile device and other devices can be automatically initiated, without requiring input or effort by a user, or even that the user remembers to perform the synchronization operation. Moreover, the synchronization operation can be wireless, so connection cables need not be maintained or employed.

Abstract: A method and system for managing an instrumentation device include accessing an image of the instrumentation device. Based on the image, an identity for the instrumentation device is determined. The identity is used to register the instrumentation device by configuring a gateway at a multimedia content distribution network client location to access and communicate with the instrumentation device. The identity of the instrumentation device and the gateway may be stored for future configuration of the gateway.
