Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for determining contact-related information items for presentation to a user, such that the user can refer to the information items to enhance the user's communication with the contact. Contact-related information items that have a high relevance level may be accessed and presented to the user. In a case in which no or limited high relevance level information items exist, contact-related information items associated with incrementally lower levels of relevance may be accessed and presented. Moreover, according to some example embodiments, relevance may be derived based on the relationship of the user with the particular contact and/or the frequency of communications with the contact.

Abstract: An approach is provided for an application engine (e.g., a gaming engine) based on real-time location-based data. In one embodiment, an application engine determines one or more location-based data sources associated with at least one device. The one or more location-based data sources are determined in at least substantially real-time while the at least one device is engaged in at least one travel activity. The application engine then determines one or more elements of an application engine based, at least in part, on the one or more location-based data sources. The application engine causes, at least in part, a presentation of the one or more elements at the least one device during the at least one travel activity. In one embodiment, the application engine also causes, at least in part, a transformation of the one or more map data elements based, at least in part, on the one or more location-based data sources.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are herein provided for providing trivia during a communication session. A method may include determining at least one trivia candidate for a communication session between at least two users. The at least one trivia candidate comprises factual information relevant to a context of the communication session. The method may further include causing the at least one trivia candidate to be proposed to at least one of the users. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: An approach is provided for processing and presenting aggregated information to a user via an augmented reality user interface. A processing platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of location information or contextual information associated with at least one user to determine one or more parameters for causing an aggregation of information across a plurality of data sources. Further, the processing platform causes an initiation of the aggregation of the information based on the one or more parameters. Additionally, the processing platform causes a presentation of the aggregation of the information in an augmented reality user interface, wherein the aggregation of the information includes, at least in part, location-based content.
