    摘要: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method for receiving a first target allocation of a radio access network resource of a radio access network of a communication network, transmitting first configuration information to the radio access network to configure the radio access network according to the first target allocation, receiving from the radio access network a first utilization of the first portion of the capacity of the radio access network resource, comparing the first utilization to a first utilization threshold responsive to receiving the first utilization from the radio access network, determining an adjustment of the first target allocation of the radio network resource according to the comparing of the first utilization to the first utilization threshold, and transmitting second configuration information to the radio access network to re-configure the radio access network according to the adjustment of the first target allocation of the radio network resource. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: Methods and systems for information querying are described. At least one recent image of a video signal may be accessed. Recent text associated with the at least one recent image may be accessed. A presentation image may be provided from the at least one recent image for presentation on a display. An original portion of the recent text may be identified within the presentation image. A selection of a user portion of the recent text may be received. An information source may be queried with the selection of the user portion of the recent text. The information source may be capable of using the selection to provide a result.

    摘要: A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may perform, for example, receiving a baseline credential and an external credential, mapping the external credential to the baseline credential in a secure element memory, receiving a request for an authentication from a secure device processor of the communication device where the request for the authentication includes a user credential inputted into the communication device, comparing the user credential with the baseline credential to verify the authentication, and providing the authentication and the external credential to the secure device processor without providing the baseline credential to enable the secure device processor to provide the external credential to an external entity device that is remote from the communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: A network interface device (NID) demarcates an access network and a premises network. The NID receives a broadband signal via an access network and transmits optical device signals to pieces of premises equipment. The broadband signal may be a single-mode fiber (SMF) optical signal transmitted over an SMF cable. In these embodiments, the NID may include a transponder including a first stage to convert the SMF signal to an intermediate electrical signal and a second stage to convert the intermediate electrical signal to a premises optical signal. In other embodiments, the broadband signal may be a very high bit rate digital subscriber line (VDSL) or other type of electrical signal and the NID's transponder may convert the VDSL signal to the premises optical signal. The NID may further include a multiplexer to multiplex the premises optical signal into the optical device signals for delivery to premises devices via corresponding premises device ports and plastic optical fiber cables.

    摘要: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, accessing a terrestrial content service that delivers media content to premises of a subscriber for presentation to media processing equipment of the subscriber. An interruption in the terrestrial content service is determined that interrupts the delivery of the media content item to the media processing equipment. An alternative media content item is identified based on the media content item, wherein the alternative media content item is available by way of a direct broadcast satellite service not subscribed to by the subscriber. The direct broadcast satellite service is provisioned to the media processing equipment responsive to the determining of the interruption in the terrestrial content service. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, generating a digital certificate responsive to an authentication of a user according to a dynamic biometric process, associating the digital certificate with a transaction record for the transaction, storing information associated with authentication conditions of the dynamic biometric process, receiving an access request associated with the transaction, and providing access to the transaction record, the information associated with the authentication conditions of the dynamic biometric process or a combination thereof responsive to the access request, where granting of the access is according to transmitting an access acknowledgement to equipment of the user, or obtaining another authentication to allow permission to access or a combination thereof. Other embodiments are disclosed.
