    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an apparatus of determining a preferred location for a Wi-Fi access point in a dwelling is provided. This apparatus includes a memory having stored therein dwelling data that includes a layout for a plurality of dwellings and expected Wi-Fi propagation data for each respective dwelling stored in the database. A user inputs data to client device regarding the location of a selected dwelling. A computer processor in the client device receives the input data regarding the selected dwelling and performs the steps of: comparing the input data with the stored dwelling data; outputting results of a comparison of the input data and the stored dwelling data for viewing by a user; and outputting a recommended Wi-Fi access point setup location in response to the user requesting a recommendation.

    Abstract: A method for media content streaming includes: receiving a command to start playback of a first media content item, wherein a first portion of the first media content item has been transcoded to generate at least one passive adaptive streamlet, and the first portion of the first media content item starts at a playback position and ends at an optimal transition point; outputting, by a content streaming device, one of the at least one passive adaptive streamlet; while outputting the one of the at least one passive adaptive streamlet, requesting, receiving, and transcoding a second portion of the first media content item to generate an active adaptive streamlet of the first media content item, wherein the active adaptive streamlet starts at the optimal transition point of the first media content item; and immediately following outputting the one of the at least one passive adaptive streamlet, outputting the active adaptive streamlet of the first media content item.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for improving satellite broadcasting services by enhancing set-top box (STB) signal reception during weather conditions that obstruct the transmission of RF signals from one or more satellites to a receiving antenna (e.g., a dish antenna) are described. To prevent loss of satellite broadcasting services, an enhanced STB signal system may be arranged between the receiving antenna and an STB in order to provide an enhanced signal to the STB in the event that the RF signals received by the receiving antenna are not able to be decoded. The enhanced STB signal system may transmit an enhanced signal to the STB instead of a signal that was only derived from the receiving antenna. The enhanced signal may comprise a combination of signals that derive from other receiving antennas different from the receiving antenna, as well as the signal derived from the receiving antenna.

    Abstract: Smart battery charging solutions are disclosed. The smart charging solutions of the disclosure enable a user to configure a mobile device with individualized battery charging settings. The user specific settings may be combined with system settings to generate rules on battery charging. Context awareness is achieved through various sensors and through information sharing within and among the systems of the mobile device. The battery charging rules and the context awareness information are used together in controlling the charging of a battery.
