Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining contextual information relating to a user, where the contextual information comprises location data that identifies a location of the user, identifying media content that relates to the contextual information and to profile data associated with the user, deriving, from the media content, personalized media content based on the profile data associated with the user, causing a target device to provide an immersion environment that includes the personalized media content, detecting user interaction data relating to the immersion environment, and performing an action relating to the personalized media content based on the detecting the user interaction data. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining a set of components that, when collectively rendered, presents an immersive experience, extracting a narrative from the set of components, learning a plurality of details of the immersive experience that exhibit variance, based on an analysis of the set of components and an analysis of the narrative, presenting a device of a creator of the immersive experience with an identification of the plurality of the details, receiving from the device of the creator, an input, wherein the input defines a variant for a default segment of one component of the set of components, and wherein the variant presents an altered form of at least one detail of the plurality of details that is presented in the default segment, and storing the set of components, the variant, and information indicating how and when to present the variant to a user device in place of the default segment.

Abstract: A method for gaze-based workflow adaptation includes identifying a workflow in which a user is engaged, where the workflow comprises a plurality of tasks that collectively achieves a desired goal, creating a trigger for a given task of the plurality of tasks, wherein the trigger specifies an action to be automatically taken in response to a gaze of the user meeting a defined criterion, monitoring a progress of the workflow, monitoring the gaze of the user, and sending a signal to a remote device in response to the gaze of the user meeting the defined criterion, wherein the signal instructs the remote device to take the action.

Abstract: A “customized” caller ID service platform is utilized within a telecommunications network (which may be the PSTN, an IP network, or any other network for supporting voice communication) to allow for the caller ID information transmitted to a called party to be tailored to the specific called party. A database within the platform is configured to store a listing of registered subscribers and a set of “pre-defined called numbers” associated with each subscriber. For each listed number, the subscriber provides the specific customized information (for example, an account number) that is to be transmitted to that specific called number as the caller ID information. A registered subscriber is able to gain access to the platform and modify the entries as need be.

Abstract: A system and method for canceling a message sent to a recipient prior to retrieval by the recipient. A telephone call is received by a network from a calling party who desires to cancel a message left for a recipient through an earlier call from the calling party to the recipient after termination of the earlier call. By mapping the calling party's automatic number identifier (ANI) with at least one call record, a voice mailbox of the recipient may be accessed to determine whether the message has been retrieved by the recipient. If the message is still pending, the calling party is provided with the option to cancel the message. Alternatively, the calling party provides the telephone number from where the earlier call originated to a network server, which looks up the ANI of the originating number and then maps the ANI of that number with the at least one call record to enable the cancellation procedure.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a physical location of a customer of a network service, e.g., a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service are disclosed. For example, the method receives a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message containing a geographical coordinate data from a Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) device being used by a customer for accessing one or more services. The method retrieves the geographical coordinate data from the SIP message and provides the one or more services to the customer using the geographical coordinate data. In an alternate embodiment, a method and apparatus for sending physical location information are disclosed.
