Abstract:
A system includes a plurality of media content processing devices, a content server, and a recommendation server. Each media content processing device is configured to receive media content from a content provider. The content server is configured to provide the media content to each of the media content processing devices. The recommendation server is configured to collect viewing data from each of the media content processing device. The recommendation server is further configured to provide each media content processing device with a viewing recommendation based at least in part on the viewing data collected from one or more of the other media content processing devices and a social network relationship between at least two of the media content processing devices.
Abstract:
A system may include a computing device configured to provide a proactive user interface, the proactive user interface configured to selectively propose suggested actions when a user of the computing device is determined to be in a passive mode. The computing device may include a proactive user interface module configured to: wait for at least one event, determine whether trigger criteria are met based on the at least one event, and when the trigger criteria are met, propose a suggested action to the user based on the at least one event.
Abstract:
A device may receive a request for a service call and location information associated with a user device, and may determine an address of a customer, associated with the user device, based on the location information. The device may determine customer information based on the address, and may filter a list of call centers, for the service call, based on the customer information and the address. The device may generate trouble ticket information for the service call, and may provide the customer information and the trouble ticket information to call centers provided in the filtered list of call centers.
Abstract:
A social media organizer for instructional or educational content may maintain one or more media clips relating to used-defined educational or instructional topics. In one implementation, a device may maintain user-created sets of media clips, where the media clips in a set of media clips include instructional media clips that relate to a particular subject. The device may further receive rankings from users relating to a quality of the sets of media clips and determine one or more of the sets of media clips that match a user search request. Additionally, the device may provide an interface that provides commands for the user to control playback of the media clips.
Abstract:
A media client for a subscription multimedia network presents, on a display device, program content received from a backend server. The media client also receives, from a mobile device, a signal requesting access to an interactive television application, where the interactive television application is related to the program content. The media client receives, from the backend server, data for the interactive television application, and forwards, to the mobile device, the data for the interactive television application for presentation on the mobile device.
Abstract:
A device receives category information associated with multiple cameras, and receives video information from the multiple cameras. The device also arranges the video information based on the category information associated with the multiple cameras and based on location information associated with a user device. The device further receives a video request from the user device, and provides, to the user device, video information from a camera, of the multiple cameras, that matches the video request.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for improved approaches for pairing of a POS system and mobile device is described. The method includes: determining, by a POS system, a proximity of a physical location of a mobile device to an access point associated with the POS system, wherein the mobile device is configured to connect to the access point and to initiate establishment of a communication session over a service provider network; initiating a link, via the access point, between the mobile device and the POS system based on the determined proximity; receiving, via the link, an indication of an item that includes a good, a service, or a combination thereof; determining, by the POS system, item information for the item based on the indication; and transmitting, via the link, the item information to the mobile device.
Abstract:
A method may include receiving user preference information associated with display of content items. A triggering activity may be identified at a user device. Context information associated with the user device may be determined. A content item may be selected for display on the user device from a plurality of available content items based on the user preference information and the context information. The selected content item may be displayed on the user device.
