Abstract: Services are provided based on the locations, rather than the NPA.NXX identifiers, of called and calling parties. Party location based services can be provided to the called party, to the calling party, or both. Services can include an indication of the location of each party. Services also can include an indication of charges as determined by the location of the parties, rather than the NPA.NXX identifiers. Services can be provided if the parties are using a mobile communications devices, such as a cellular phone, wireline systems (e.g., landline phones), or a combination thereof. In an example configuration, location can be provided in a hierarchy of various levels of accuracy/precision. Different levels can be representative of different resolutions of geography. An example system for facilitating party location based services includes a signaling system number 7 (SS7) network.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a computing device of a media service provider, a search request associated with a first product. The search request is received from a media device associated with a subscriber of a service provided by the media service provider. The method includes, in response to the search request, determining, by the computing device, a responsible party associated with the first product based on a purchase date of the first product and a return period for the first product. The method also includes sending, from the computing device to the media device, contact information of the responsible party. The contact information is to be displayed by the media device to a display device with an option to contact the responsible party.

Abstract translation: 服务是根据被叫和呼叫方的位置而不是NPA.NXX标识符提供的。 派对位置服务可以提供给被叫方，呼叫方或两者。 服务可以包括每一方的位置的指示。 服务还可以包括由各方所在地确定的费用指示，而不是NPA.NXX标识符。 如果各方正在使用移动通信设备，例如蜂窝电话，有线系统（例如陆上电话）或其组合，则可以提供服务。 在示例配置中，可以以各种精度/精度级别的层次来提供位置。 不同层次可以代表不同的地理分辨率。 用于促进基于位置的服务的示例系统包括信令系统号码7（SS7）网络。

Abstract: A method includes receiving a request related to a set top box, the request having a public identifier of the set top box and a user account identifier. The public identifier is accessible by a user associated with the set top box. The method also includes accessing a user record, corresponding to a location, from a database of user records. The method further includes determining, from the user record, a private identifier of the set top box corresponding to the public identifier of the set top box, wherein the private identifier is unique to the set top box among a set of set top boxes associated with the user record and the private identifier is inaccessible by the user and using the private identifier to perform an action related to the set top box in response to the request.
