Abstract:
Examples for managing the participation of users in multiple virtual environments are described. An example method includes a processor receiving from a first user device a virtual object that is created by a user and at least one trigger condition for presenting the virtual object, obtaining a physical location of the first user device, and receiving a selection of a first virtual environment for the virtual object from among a plurality of virtual environments associated with the first user device. The method may further include the processor associating the virtual object with the physical location and with the first virtual environment that is selected, and presenting the virtual object to a second user device associated with the first virtual environment when the at least one trigger condition is encountered, where the at least one trigger condition includes a condition that the second user device is proximate to the physical location.
Abstract:
A database is accessed to retrieve performance data associated with a content delivery network. Based on the performance data, a performance metric is determined for components of the content delivery network that are within a particular geographic region. A display is generated that visually represents geographic data representing the particular geographic region, at least one component of the content delivery network within the particular geographic region, and the performance metric.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving, at a server, first information provided by a user that identifies a set of people to be monitored. The method includes accessing, at the server, second information associated with a plurality of media streams including a broadcast media stream and a non-broadcast media stream. The second information identifies particular people associated with individual media streams of the plurality of media streams. The method includes generating, at the server, a customized media stream based on a comparison of the first information and the second information. The customized media stream includes media content related to the set of people, where the media content includes at least a portion of the non-broadcast media stream.
Abstract:
A perception of the real world may be augmented, in real time, while immersed in the real world, without adversely affecting a person's ability to function in the real world. A preference for an appearance of an object may be determined. The preference may be registered. Upon detection of a real-world object, the real-world object may be identified. The preferences may be associated with the identified real-world object. Upon receipt of the preferences, a perception of the real-world object may be augmented in accordance with the preferences. The augmented perception may be perceived via an observation device utilizing motion sensing and range imaging.
Abstract:
A particular method includes receiving first data indicating a measured strength of an ambient electromagnetic signal in a particular frequency range during a particular time period and at a particular location. The method also includes receiving second data indicating a bit loading within a portion of a wireline network in the particular frequency range during the particular time period. The portion of the wireline network provides service within a service area proximate to the particular location. The method also includes determining a correlation of changes in the second data during the particular time period to changes in the first data during the particular time period. The method further includes identifying at least one issue associated with the wireline network based on the correlation.

Abstract:
A system for providing cross-services application service, device, and network content delivery management is disclosed. In particular, the system may allow devices and application services supported by multiple network services to leverage the strengths of such network services to ensure that content delivery is efficiently accomplished. The system may enable a device or application service to be associated with a management domain. Then, the management domain may subscribe the device or application service with one or more underlying supporting networks of the management domain. The associating and subscribing may be performed for the management domain by an orchestrator or by a management domain authority. The management domain authority may include a predictive, machine-learning element that drives access to content on behalf of the management domain authority through its devices and services to which they are subscribed.

Abstract:
A method includes creating a first calendar event in an electronic calendar associated with a user. The first calendar event corresponds to a first viewing time and is associated with delivery of media content to a first device associated with the user. The method further includes rescheduling the first calendar event in response to determining that a scheduling conflict exists between the first calendar event and a second calendar event. Rescheduling the first calendar event includes modifying the first calendar event to correspond to a second viewing time and determining, based on the second viewing time, a second device to deliver the media content to. The second device is associated with the user.
