Abstract: A media presentation method includes providing media content to at least one user on a primary media device, the content comprising at least one character engaging in an activity within a primary scene; transitioning the at least one character from the primary scene; selecting the at least one character via an input mechanism prior to the transition; and providing media content associated with the selected at least one character within a secondary scene on a secondary media device while simultaneously presenting content not including the transitioned character on the primary device.

Abstract: A method of dynamic authentication configuration that adjust authentication configuration according to traffic patterns within a system, such as a cellular communications network. In a network, mobile devices are authenticated based on various events, such as an attach, location update, originated call, etc. According to a first embodiment, one or more authentication configuration profiles is defined for a VLR/SGSN and a time schedule/table to automatically update the authentication configurations based on a time. Accordingly, the number authentications for a particular VLR is reduced as signaling traffic increases, and vice versa. In another exemplary embodiment, an HLR monitors system level traffic load to command each VLR and SGSN to change the authentication configurations. Authentication operations are preferably configured on per node and per traffic pattern basis.
