Abstract: An approach is provided for quick content channel discovery, and with minimal latency, streaming of a content stream, and switching from one content stream to another content stream available from various content providers. A method includes a buffering of one or more original content streams from one or more provider sources to generate one or more buffered content streams by at least one buffering service. The method also includes determining one or more requests from at least one device to access at least one of the one or more original content streams. The method further includes, in response to the one or more requests, an initiation of a streaming of at least one of the one or more buffered content streams from the at least one buffering service to the at least one device in place of the at least one of the one or more original content streams.

Abstract: Event triggered snapshots of display content of software applications facilitate for a user, typically in the role of a software application developer, in the process of power-optimizing an application under development. The invention provides the developers with an ability to correlate specific software application events, e.g. user interface events, to power consumption peaks and lows.

Abstract: Described herein are a method, apparatus and computer program to automatically inform a second party to a call that a first party to the call has or will disconnect due to a power source, such as a battery, of a terminal used by the first party becoming depleted. The second party can be informed by the generation and transmission of any suitable type of message, including a SMS message, a MMS message and a IMS message.

Abstract: An apparatus for changing an operational characteristic of a device based at least in part on a user input in order to adjust a power consumption level of the device may include a display for displaying a power consumption indicator corresponding to the power consumption level of the device. The power consumption level may be calculated by a power consumption calculator. A touch interface may receive the user input configured to adjust the power consumption level of the device. An operational characteristic changer may thereby change the operational characteristic. The user input may manipulate the power consumption indicator to adjust the power consumption level to a desired power consumption level. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing for improved transmission of a content package may include a gesture recognizer configured to recognize gesture inputs on a touch screen which select content for transmission. A communication interface may search for signals from accessible devices, and a received signal strength meter may determine corresponding received signal strengths. A target device selector may select a target device from the accessible devices based at least in part on the received signal strengths. The communication interface may then provide for transmission of a content package including the content and configured for reception by the target device in instances in which the target device is selected. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided.

Abstract: An approach is provided for providing detailed progress indicators. A progress indicator platform determines a plurality of entities associated with performing at least one task. The progress indicator platform determines progress information for performing the at least one task. Nest, the progress indicator platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of the progress information to determine task contribution information associated with respective ones of the plurality of entities. Next, the progress indicator platform causes, at least in part, a rendering of a user interface element to depict, at least in part, the progress information, the task contribution information, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for providing power consumption notification and management. More particularly, application power consumption models and device battery energy levels can be used to determine a device discharge duration. A device power consumption rate can be determined from application power consumption models.
