Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving a bid request that indicates a television channel associated with a video stream requested by an end user device and that includes ad space information associated with an ad space of the video stream, where the video stream being requested is an Over-The-Top (OTT) streaming service that provides scheduled content. Context information can be accessed according to the television channel and according to a time associated with the ad space, where the context information describes the video stream and is generated by a context server. An auction is performed to obtain bid responses, where the auction provides bidders with context data that is representative of at least a portion of the context information, and where selection of the candidate bid responses enables a determination of a creative for the ad space of the video stream. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to updating firmware. For example, a system according to the present disclosure may include a printing device and a computing device. The printing device may be on a network. The printing device may detect an intrusion against the printing device. The computing device may be on the network. The computing device may receive a broadcast reporting the intrusion directly from the printing device. The computing device may request, responsive to receiving the broadcast, an updated portion of a firmware code image for the computing device.

Abstract: Embodiments of methods, apparatuses and systems for mobile purchase rewards are described. An embodiment of a method includes receiving confirmation of a transaction that triggers accrual of a reward unit at a processing device. Such an embodiment may further include updating a reward account in response to the transaction using the processing device. Additionally, the method may include notifying the holder of the reward account, via an interface to a mobile communication device, that the reward account has been updated.
