摘要:
Generally speaking, pursuant to these various embodiments, one provides (101) a push-to-ask protocol layer that comprises, at least in part, a question receiving function, an answer receiving function, a trust management function, and a propagation function. By one approach this propagation function is configured and arranged to determine the propagation of content as a function, at least in part, of trust information as is provided by the trust management function. This content can comprise, for example, at least one of a question as is provided by the question receiving function and/or an answer as is provided by the answer receiving function. This push-to-ask protocol layer may then be used (102) to facilitate the automated dissemination of a question as may be provided via a push-to-ask application to, for example, a social network as corresponds to a user of that push-to-ask application and to facilitate a return of at least one corresponding answer to that push-to-ask application.
摘要:
Generally speaking, pursuant to these various embodiments, a network entity maintains (301) a record of at least one other network entity wherein that record comprises, at least in part, a trust metric that correlates the at least one other network entity with a particular amount of trust. A question can then be provided (302) and a query formed (303) by associating that question with a corresponding quantitative trust factor requirement. The record can then be employed to forward (304) that query to the at least one other network entity. By one approach, a network entity that receives (401) such a message comprising a question and a quantitative trust factor requirement as corresponds thereto can determine (402) whether to provide an answer responsive to that question. This can comprise forwarding (403) an answer in appropriate cases.

A method and system for adding a caller (102) in a blocked list is provided. The blocked list is stored at a communication server (104). The method includes receiving (604) a call from the caller (102) at a communication device (108). Further, the method includes receiving (606) a set of inputs at the communication device (108) in response to the call. The set of inputs includes a set of instructions to add the caller (102) in the blocked list. Furthermore, the method includes transmitting (608) a call termination request to the communication server (104). The call termination request includes the set of instructions to add the caller (102) in the blocked list. Transmission of the call termination request initiates addition of the caller (102) in the blocked list at the communication server (104).
摘要:
A method, a network base station, and a user device for pausing a communication connection initiation are disclosed. A processor 210 may begin a communication connection initiation between an origin user device and a target user device. The processor 210 may pause the communication connection initiation. A transceiver 240 may receive a connection action request to execute a connection action.
摘要:
While facilitating (101) a call session for a participating entity having at least one federation-based benefit, one then uses (102) that at least one federation-based benefit to facilitate communications mobility for the participating entity during the call session. Such a call session can comprise, for example and at least in part, a wireless call session. The federation-based benefit itself can be one provided by a content provider, a services provider, or the like.
摘要:
A communication system is provided that comprises a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) network coupled to a service provider network. An RFID reader of the RFID network detects an RFID tag associated with a mobile station when the mobile station is present in, or proximate to, a controlled area. The RFID network routes information associated with the RFID tag to the service provider network and, based on the information received from the RFID network, the service provider network alters a behavior of the mobile station when the mobile station is entering, exiting, or present in the controlled area.

摘要:
A method for managing communication-sessions at a Communication Diversion Notification Server (CDNS) (108) in a network (100) is disclosed. The method includes receiving (404) a message. The method further includes sending (406) a communication-diversion-notification to the diverting user equipment (UE) (104) based on filter-criteria. The communication-diversion-notification is sent in response to the message. The communication-diversion-notification notifies the diverting UE about the diversion of the communication-session to a target UE (108).
