Abstract: The Internet can be configured to provide communications to a large number of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. Devices can be designed to address the need for network layers, from central servers, through gateways, down to edge devices, to grow unhindered, to discover and make accessible connected resources, and to support the ability to hide and compartmentalize connected resources. Network protocols can be part of the fabric supporting human accessible services that operate regardless of location, time, or space. Innovations can include service delivery and associated infrastructure, such as hardware and software. Services may be provided in accordance with specified Quality of Service (QoS) terms. The use of IoT devices and networks can be included in a heterogeneous network of connectivity including wired and wireless technologies.

Abstract: Methods and systems for interfacing with a voice service are described. A premises device may detect a trigger event and establish a communication session with a voice service based thereon.

Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for dynamic connection management. The method can comprise establishing a persistent connection with a web service, receiving a notification of a request for a communication session with a computing device via the web service, registering with a communication processing system to receive the request for the communication session, and establishing the communication session with the computing device via the communication processing system. When the communication session ends, the user device can be deregistered and free up the resources on the computing device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing an online map-based sports fantasy game competition.

Abstract: A computing device, such as a mapping application server, may track data associated with a plurality of user devices, such as an Internet Protocol version. A system, such as an IMS system, may use may use the data associated with the plurality of user devices to process messages. When messages between devices are received, the computing device may provide information regarding at least one protocol associated with a communication. The computing device may respond to queries from various network elements. The responses may provide data that may be used to identify a protocol version, such as a Name Authority Pointer (NAPTR). Any necessary protocol interworking may be provided by the system.
