Abstract:
A policy enforcer device may determine a value of multiple controls included on a control device. The multiple controls may be associated with zones of a facility. The policy enforcer device may determine, based on the values of the plurality of controls, relative amounts of bandwidth to allocate, of a total amount of available bandwidth, to the zones of the facility; and control one or more network devices to provide the determined amounts of bandwidth to the zones of the facility.
Abstract:
Techniques described herein may be used to enable a user to obtain services from multiple organizations in a seamless, automated, and efficient manner. A network device may cause a user device to automatically access a web service by, for example, downloading a mobile application or accessing a web page designed to provide the web service. The network device may automatically identify a second web service that is logically related to the first web service and offer the second web service to the user. If the user accepts the second web service, the network device may cause the user device to automatically access the second web service via a mobile application, a webpage, etc. Identification and authentication issues for accessing the first or second web services may be automatically resolved by network device based on the mobile device number (MDN) of the user device and/or other profile information.
Abstract:
An exemplary method includes a subsidized access management system detecting a request provided by a user of an access device for the user to receive subsidized access to network content, identifying a plurality of user parameters provided by the user and that define a plurality of conditions associated with the subsidized access to the network content and that the user is willing to experience in order to receive the subsidized access to the network content, selecting a sponsor from a pool of potential sponsors and that is willing to sponsor the subsidized access to the network content in accordance with the plurality of user parameters, and providing the user with the subsidized access to the network content by way of the access device in accordance with a subsidized access arrangement between a subsidized access provider and the sponsor. Corresponding systems and methods are also described.
Abstract:
The quality at which camera data (e.g., images, video, and/or audio captured by a camera device) is transmitted and/or stored may be adjusted based on the application of analytic techniques. For example, a camera processing device may receive camera data and receive information relating to conditions external to the capturing of the camera data. The camera processing device may control the resolution associated with the camera data based on the information relating to the conditions.
Abstract:
A network device receives a collection of technical steps for implementing a type of service campaign. The technical steps include application programming interface (API) level calls to a service provider network. The network device associates the technical steps with particular customer software, receives validation criteria for each of the technical steps, generates a diagnostic map of the technical steps for the particular customer software, and conducts, based on the diagnostic map, a test of the API level calls for the particular customer software to obtain test results. The network device receives a customer deployment record of changes occurring during software deployments for the service campaign for the particular customer software and receives a provider record of service provider changes to network level software that impact the service campaign for the particular customer software. The network device correlates the test results with the customer deployment record and the provider record.
Abstract:
An approach for implementing an illumination device for interfacing with other illumination devices or user devices and for receiving and providing various services. The approach includes providing an interface to an illumination device, wherein the illumination device is configured to include a plurality of modules and wherein the plurality of modules includes at least an illumination module, a networking module, and a short range wireless communication module. The approach also includes receiving an input via the interface for specifying a service associated with the illumination device, wherein the service employs at least one of the illumination module, the networking module, and the short range wireless communication module. Further, the approach includes configuring the illumination device to provide the service based on the input.

Abstract:
A server device may receive images of a vehicle from one or more camera devices implemented as part of a home monitoring or home control system and identify, based on the images, an anomaly associated with the vehicle. In some implementations, conditions under which the anomaly occurred may also be determined.
