Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system is provided for quality of experience for media transmissions. In an implementation, a method may include defining a lower media stream discontinuity threshold. The method may also include evaluating a media stream discontinuity rate associated with a portion of a media stream. When the media stream discontinuity rate associated with the portion of the media stream is greater than the lower media stream discontinuity threshold, the method may further include determining a quality of experience associated with the portion of the media stream based upon, at least in part, a payload associated with the portion of the media stream.

The first mobile device selects at least one of the other mobile devices to share the network resource provided by the first network with the second mobile device. The first mobile device communicates to the second mobile device peer-to-peer network connection information of the selected at least one of the other mobile devices.

Abstract: A first instance of a reference video is stored. A primary video and a second instance of the reference video are simultaneously received. At least one quality of experience value that infers a perceptual quality of the primary video as received by a system is generated by comparing the first instance of the reference video to the second instance of the reference video on a pixel-by-pixel, frame-by-frame, basis and determining whether each pixel and each frame contained in the first instance of the reference video are contained in the second instance of the reference video.

Abstract: An indicator can be received from a client device. The indicator can indicate an agreement by a user of the client device to share device resources of the client device with an entity distinct from the client device and distinct from the user of the client device. Responsive to receiving from the client device the indicator indicating the agreement of the user of the of the client device to share the device resources of the client device with the entity, at least one network resource provided to the client device can be increased.

Abstract: Delivery of internet protocol television (IPTV) content, in one aspect, may comprise monitoring social media streams. Trends may be identified from the social media streams, the trends describing interests in IPTV content by location, time and subscriber types. Information may be received associated with a schedule for delivering the IPTV content. The trends may be compared with the received information to predict an expected demand of the IPTV content at the time at different locations and by different subscriber types. Resources may be reallocated to meet the expected demand in delivering the IPTV content to the different subscriber types at the different locations and the time.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for prioritizing advertisements for a location. The mechanism identifies one or more person at the location and identifies a set of advertisements associated with a set of products for the location. The mechanism determines a score for the one or more persons indicating their likelihood to promote or detract from each of the set of products. The mechanism prioritizes the advertisements in the set according to the aggregate scores of the one or more persons for the products of the advertisements. The mechanism identifies a target person at the location to which the advertisement is to be directed and wherein determining a score of the one or more persons excludes or weights the target person.
