Abstract: An approach is provided for generating web-based augmented reality application viewer. A web-based server application receives a request from a web client for visualization information associated with a web application that renders a perspective-based display. The web-based server application facilitates a processing of the request to execute the web application. One or more web-based server applications at one or more web-based servers cause a generation of one or more images, one or more sequences of the one or more images, or a combination thereof based, at least in part, on the execution of the web application, wherein the one or more images, the one or more sequences, or a combination thereof depict a rendering of a user interface of the web application. The one or more applications transmit the one or more images, the one or more sequences, or a combination thereof as the visualization information for presentation.

Abstract: An approach is provided for generating a virtual environment for controlling one or more electronic devices. A mapping platform causes, at least in part, a rendering of a user interface depicting a virtual environment comprising one or more representations of one or more devices, one or more accessory devices associated with the one or more devices, or a combination thereof. The mapping platform then determines one or more interactions with the user interface, the virtual environment, the one or more representations, or a combination thereof. Further, the mapping platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of the one or more interactions to cause, at least in part, a controlling of the one or more devices, the one or more accessory devices, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: In accordance with an example embodiment a method, apparatus and computer program product are provided. The method comprises receiving a request for inclusion of a first object in a scene comprising one or more second objects. The scene is rendered based on a scene geometry data. At least one second object from the one or more second objects occluded by a portion of the first object is determined based on the scene geometry data. The at least one second object being occluded by the portion of the first object in the scene are re-rendered based on the determination. The re-rendering facilitates in preventing occlusion of the at least one second object by the portion of the first object.

Abstract: An approach is provided for filtering and delivering user-defined virtual content to augmented and/or mixed reality mobile applications. The application client processes and/or facilitates a processing of one or more map tiles to determine one or more parameters describing, at least in part, one or more areas bounded by the one or more map tiles, wherein the one or more map tiles are received from at least one provider. The application client then causes, at least in part, a transmission of one or more requests for content to at least one other provider, wherein the one or more requests specify, at least in part, the one or more parameters for transforming the content.

Abstract: A protocol for use as a phase 1 authentication (and key agreement) IKE protocol, similar to IKE phase 1 authentication with public key encryption, but using the IMS AKA trust infrastructure instead of the PKI trust infrastructure. The invention thus allows an initiator (11) having a secret long-term key stored on a smart cart (11a), to authenticate a responder (12), the responder (12) having in some cases a trusted interface with a Home Subscriber Server (14) that has a copy (14a) of the initiator's long-term key (and in other cases having itself access to the initiator's long-term key). The protocol includes a Diffie-Hellman exchange, and by authenticating the initiator (11) and responder (12), the protocol authenticates the exchange.

Abstract: A handshake protocol, for encapsulation by the so-called TLS Record Protocol, for use by a client (11) and a server (12) in authenticating each other. The handshake protocol is based on the TLS Handshake Protocol, but replaces the PKI trust infrastructure of that protocol with the IMS AKA trust infrastructure, which is based on a private key stored on a so-called smart card (11a) in the client terminal (11), and also stored (usually) in a Home Subscriber Server (14) serving as a trusted third party (but instead sometimes in the server (12) being authenticated), the third party providing information to the server (12) sufficient for the server (12) to authenticate the client (11) and also sufficient for the server (12) to provide to the client (11) information sufficient for the client (11) to authenticate the server (12).

Abstract: An enhanced IMS AKA (21) that allows a UE to register with IMS for all multimedia applications to which it is subscribed. Some of the message content of some of the IMS AKA messages (22) per TS 3GPP 33.203 v 1.0.0 is augmented, and in particular, the message content of CM2 is augmented to include a list of all services to which the UE is subscribed along with either information that allows establishing SAs for each service or information that could be used as keying material or other input for other security mechanisms specific to each service.
