International Classification:

H04L 69/14
H04L 65/612
H04L 65/60
H04L 65/80

Abstract:

A method includes receiving, at a customer premises equipment (CPE) device from a data source, media content requested by a media device. The method includes determining, at the CPE device, a number of concurrent media connections to establish to the media device based on a workload of the customer premises device. The method includes establishing the number of concurrent communication connections between the CPE device and the media device. The method also includes sending the media content as data packets via data packet streams to the media device from the customer premises equipment device. A data packet stream of the data packet streams is sent via each communication connection of the concurrent communication connections. Each data packet stream includes less than all data packets of the media content, and the media device processes the data packets received via the data packet streams to generate media content output.

Abstract:

Tracking remaining storage capacity of a vehicle using sensors via a wireless system of the vehicle is presented herein. A method can include receiving first data representing an object; receiving second data representing a storage space of a vehicle; and determining, using the first data and the second data, whether the object is capable of placement within the storage space of the vehicle. In an example, the method can further include displaying information representing an order of placements of a set of objects comprising the object, a proposed location for the object, and/or a proposed orientation for the object within the storage space of the vehicle in response to the object being determined to be capable of placement within the storage space of the vehicle.

International Classification:

H04W 8/18
H04W 4/029
H04L 29/08
H04W 24/02

Abstract:

A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may obtain operational capability and state information for at least one communication devices, and provide a usage profile to the communication devices to enable each to adjust a group of device personas, each controlling a function of a group of functions performed by one of the group of communication devices. The system may generate a first device persona based on presence information, operational capability information, other usage profiles of the group of communication devices, and state information, wherein operation of a second communication device of the group is based at least in part on the first device persona. A conflict may be identified between a first function and another function of the group of functions, based on an adjustment to the first device persona and the system may communication with the second communication device to resolve the conflict. Other embodiments are disclosed.

International Classification:

H04N 7/14
H04N 7/15
G10L 15/08
G06F 3/16
G10L 15/22

Abstract:

A network-based, e.g., cloud-based, and apparatus based in-call command control for dynamically performing user commands such as voice commands or gesture commands are provided. The result allows for hands free operation of a calling system including one where the user is located separate from a base station, and provides for recognizing both voice and gestural commands. Filtering of commands can be performed dynamically so that commands are not perceived by those participating in the call. Further, the user, who has given the command, can be notified regarding the performance of the requested command.

H04L 29/12
H04L 12/707

Abstract:

Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for distributing communication of a data stream among multiple devices are disclosed. An example first device disclosed herein is to send a request including an alphanumeric sharing code to a distribution system to join a shared connection, the shared connection to distribute communication of a complete data stream among a plurality of devices including the first device, the alphanumeric sharing code to associate the plurality of devices with the shared connection. The example first device is also to receive a first one of a plurality of partial data streams corresponding to a first portion of the complete data stream from the distribution system via a first data connection established in response to the request. The example first device is further to relay the first one of the plurality of partial data streams to the second device.
