Abstract:
Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for obtaining ratings using a rating service. A server computer executing a rating service can detect arrival of a user device at a vendor location. The server computer also can detect an interaction with a product offered at the vendor location by the user device. The server computer can determine that a rating for the product is to be requested, and can request the rating from the user device.
Abstract:
Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to the dynamic creation and management of ephemeral coordinated feedback instances. In accordance with one aspect disclosed herein, a system can receive a feedback instance creation request. The feedback instance creation request can be received from a policy engine in response to the policy engine attempting to satisfy a policy request. The system can examine the feedback instance creation request to determine an objective to be met by a new feedback instance model. The system can build a specification for the new feedback instance model. The specification can be built in accordance with a feedback instance building policy. The system can create the new feedback instance model in accordance with the specification. The system can store the new feedback instance model and a unique identifier associated with the new feedback instance model in a feedback instance model repository.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and products verify an identity claimed by a person. A signature, representing the presence of a device, is acquired. The signature is compared to a reference signature. Should the signature favorably compare to the reference signature, then the identity is verified.
Abstract:
Gesture control uses electromagnetic power signatures. A signal is received and a power of the signal is determined. The power is associated to a command, and the command is executed in response to a gesture.
Abstract:
Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to extend wireless signal coverage with drones are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein to extend wireless signal coverage include determining whether a status of a wireless communication link being received at a first device from a second device meets a trigger condition. Such disclosed example methods also include, after determining the status meets the trigger condition, deploying a drone to a target location determined based on a first device location associated with the first device and a second device location associated with the second device, the drone being equipped with a signal extender capable of extending the wireless communication link.

Abstract:
Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to ephemeral feedback instances. According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a policy engine can receive data and a policy request from a policy requestor. The policy engine also can determine whether a policy is available to satisfy the policy request. If the policy engine determines that a policy is available to satisfy the policy request, the policy engine can retrieve, from a policy repository, the policy to satisfy the request and can instruct one or more policy enforcement points to enforce the policy. If the policy engine determines that a policy is not available to satisfy the policy request, the policy engine can perform a feedback instance method to satisfy the policy request.
Abstract:
Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to modes of policy participation for feedback instances. According to one aspect, a system can receive an event associated with an active feedback instance operating in a runtime. The system can map the event to a policy participation level policy. The system can determine a new policy participation level for the active feedback instance according to the policy participation level policy.

Abstract:
Usage information is received that describes usage of communication services by a communications device. The usage information is compared to monitoring criteria. When the monitoring criteria are satisfied, an electronic notification message is sent to the communications device before an additional charge is incurred.
