Abstract: Architectures and techniques are presented that can record video data and wireless communication device data. Signals from sources outside a field of view of a camera recording the video data can be filtered. Such can affect a shielding technique in which a signal shielding apparatus is adjusted in orientation based on an orientation of a camera device. Techniques are further presented to synchronize, according to time, video data and device data. Such synchronization can allow for improved correlation between visual objects (e.g., recorded by the camera) and radio objects (e.g., recorded by a transceiver). For example, visual techniques can be employed to estimate distance/locomotion of a visual object, whereas signal strength metrics can be used to estimate distance/locomotion of a radio object, and the relationship between the two can indicate a strong correlation that a particular device ID is linked to a particular visual object and vice versa.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method comprising receiving an initial request for content from a first user; sending one or more subsequent requests to other user(s), such as those at or near a location associated with the live content; receiving replies from the other users; presenting options to and receiving a selection from the first user; sending a confirmation request to a selected user; and receiving, by the first user, the live content from the selected user. In some embodiments, the method includes charging first user a fee for requesting and/or receiving the live content; and paying a fee to the selected user. The second fee may be specified by the selected user. In any case, the users need not know each other. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving video content streams from multiple source mobile devices and identifying that the video content streams pertain to a same event. Additional aspects may include identifying end mobile devices for the video content streams and determining a portion of the end mobile devices are coupled to one communication network and another communication network. Further aspects can include identifying a predicted traffic pattern on the first communication network based on the multiple video content streams pertaining to the same event and that the portion of the multiple end mobile devices are communicatively coupled to the first communication network. Additional aspects may include transmitting a portion of the video content streams across the first communication network and transmitting another portion of the video content streams across the second communication network according to the predicted traffic pattern. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Enhanced shared media experiences allow viewer's personal devices to receive targeted content. Targeting advertisements and other content to personal devices is cheaper and more effective than broadcast delivery. Advertisers may still target their advertisements during popular programming with purchasing expensive broadcast advertising slots.
