    摘要: Facilitating support functionalities through a support appliance device in advanced networks (e.g., 4G, 5G, and beyond) is provided herein. A method can comprise facilitating, by a support appliance device comprising a processor, a dedicated communication link with a remote support entity via a secure internet connection. The method also can comprise, based on a receipt of a request for an active session, establishing, by the support appliance device, the active session with the remote support entity via the dedicated communication link. Further, the method can comprise receiving, by the support appliance device, input data associated with an item. The method also can comprise outputting, by the support appliance device, an indication on the item based on the support appliance device being in proximity of the item. An instruction related to the indication can be controlled by the remote support entity and implemented by the support appliance device.

    摘要: Devices and systems are provided for controlling electronic devices using a mobile remote control device. A mobile remote control device provides an interface to control a plurality of electronic devices. The mobile device has a unique identifier, and the electronic device transmits a presentation of a remote control to the mobile device. A user of the mobile device controls the electronic device by operating the “virtual” remote control displayed on the mobile device. The user may further define his or her custom remote control. The user may define batches of commands, or “macros” that transmit a specific series of commands to one or more electronic devices. Proximity and motion of a mobile device may be used as an input, such that the electronic devices are programmed to react in specific ways depending upon the position and movement of the user of the mobile device.

    摘要: A system can be operable to receive a call from a communication device and identify whether the call is a spoofed based on, for example, whether a caller party user equipment associated with a caller identification number (caller ID number) is in an “idle” status, whether there are inconsistencies in the geographic location associated with a calling party's network and the geographic location determined to be associated with the caller ID number presented, and whether the phone number presented as the caller ID number is registered with a calling party's network.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method includes determining, by an access point, that a first connection between a first device and the access point is not functional. A non-functional connection between the first device and a backhaul network causes the first connection between the first device and the access point to become not functional. The method also includes selecting, by the access point, a second device operable to provide backhaul to the access point. The method also includes establishing, by the access point, a second connection between the second device and the access point and receiving, by the access point, information from the second device via the second connection. The second connection is a wireless connection. The method further includes communicating, by the access point, the information to the first device.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method includes identifying, by a network access point, a plurality of channels within a spectrum block and determining, by the network access point, to allocate at least one channel of the plurality of channels to a device based on requirements of the device. The method further includes allocating, by the network access point, the at least one channel to the device. The at least one channel is exclusively for use between the network access point and the device.

    摘要: An example method includes determining, by executing an instruction with a processor, whether environmental condition data collected by a plurality of sensors of a mobile device complies with an environmental condition rule. The environmental condition rule including environmental thresholds associated with the environmental condition data, and the environmental condition data being representative of external conditions. The method includes when the environmental condition data does not comply with the environmental condition rule: determining, by executing an instruction with the processor, a level of severity of at least one of the external conditions which does not comply with the environmental condition rule; and in response to determining the level of severity does not satisfy a severity threshold, informing a user of the mobile device of the at least one of the external conditions; and in response to determining the level of severity satisfies the severity threshold, informing a third-party of the at least one of the external conditions absent input from the user of the mobile device.
