The present invention relates to acquisition of user information by an electronic device, and comprises a communication module, a display, a processor, and a memory. The communication module and the display according to various embodiments are electrically connected to the processor. The processor is electrically connected to the memory. The memory causes the processor to: receive media information which does not include utterer information, perform signaling for acquisition of utterer information related to the media information, and determine and display the utterer information. Various other embodiments are possible.

Provided is a method performed by a terminal of performing communication, the method including sending, by a terminal to which a floor is granted, media to at least one other terminal, when a predetermined event occurs in the terminal, monitoring a signal received by the terminal to grant the floor of the terminal, and when the media is received from another terminal within a predetermined time as a result of the monitoring, granting the floor to the other terminal.

Systems and methods for virtual interactions are described. One or more users can view or listen to media, react to the media and share such media experience virtually with others. The media experience can take place synchronously, asynchronously or both.

Technologies are described herein for event delivery and stream processing utilizing virtual processing agents. Upon receiving an event publication in a queue, a runtime system identifies one or more virtual processing agents that might be interested in, but have not explicitly subscribed to, the published event. Event information of the published event is then delivered to the identified virtual processing agents. Prior to the actual delivery, the runtime system further determines if the virtual processing agents have been activated and activates those processing agents that have not been activated. Based on the received event information, some of the virtual processing agents might decide to explicitly submit subscriptions to receive more events from the queue. The explicit subscriptions will trigger the runtime system to deliver the subscribed events to the processing agents, which might include past events that have been published in the queue before the explicit subscription is received.

A hardened VoIP system is presented that includes secure push-to-talk voice functionality. Through the addition of encryption, authentication, user filtering, and integration with new and existing LMR systems, a secure voice platform ensures malicious software, unauthorized access and brute force security attacks will not compromise the voice communications of the system. The VoIP system is engineered to ensure graceful system degradation in the event of maintenance activities, natural disasters and failure modes. The hardened VoIP system offers the functions a LMR trunking system while utilizing broadband connections. Private calls, group calls, Emergency Alarms with covert monitoring capability, scanning and priority scanning may be incorporated into the system. The system includes a VoIP controller that serves as a trunking controller, manages available VoIP based conference bridges, and assigns them as needed to the parties involved in each voice call. The system includes multiple fallback methods that may be prioritized based on pre-failure analytics.

An information processing apparatus that receives image data from a server apparatus, comprising: a generation unit configured to generate a push instruction that includes identification information regarding one or more projection methods of a plurality of projection methods that are applicable to a projection target image; a transmitting unit configured to transmit a push instruction generated by the generation unit to the server apparatus; and a receiving unit configured to receive image data pushed from the server apparatus in response to a push instruction transmitted by the transmitting unit, the image data being generated by projecting a projection target image, using a projection method that is decided based on identification information that is included in the push instruction.

A process and device for responding to a query includes receiving a query for providing a response at a first communication device via a first electronic computing device. The process includes determining that the response to the query is to be provided as a group response to a plurality of communication devices including the first communication device that are members of a first communication group. When it is determined that the first electronic computing device does not have permission to process the query, a second electronic computing device that has permission to process the query is identified and further the query is forwarded from the first electronic computing device to the second electronic computing device to enable the second electronic computing device to process the query and generate a group response to be provided to at least one of the communication devices in the first communication group.

A system and method for content messaging includes observing, by the server, synchronization of a database cluster accessible to the server with a first local database at a first client, the database cluster including a message after the synchronization, the message including content and instructions for processing the content, and processing, by the server, the content of the message according to the instructions for processing the content, in response to observing the synchronization.

Embodiments include an apparatus for an adaptive dynamic wireless aerial mesh network having aerial nodes that provides real-time persistent wide area communications service to provide communications in response to an incident. Typically, the service area is a wide area that is physically inaccessible via ground transportation. In addition, embodiments include the formation of a decentralized mesh supernetwork comprising two or more dynamic wireless aerial mesh networks. A member of a first dynamic wireless aerial mesh network may send a request to a member of a second dynamic wireless aerial mesh network for the first dynamic wireless aerial mesh network to join the second dynamic wireless aerial mesh network to form a mesh supernetwork, and receive an acceptance from the member of the second dynamic wireless aerial mesh network.

Embodiments herein provide a method for performing multiple authentications within a service registration procedure. The method includes sending, by a User Equipment (UE) a REGISTER request message to an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) server. Further, the method includes receiving, an IMS authentication challenge from the IMS server, where the IMS authentication challenge includes an IMS authentication parameter and a MCPTT authentication challenge. Further, the method includes verifying, at the UE, the IMS authentication challenge. Further, the method includes generating, at the UE, a REGISTER response message. Further, the method includes sending, a REGISTER response message to the IMS server, where the REGISTER response message includes an IMS authentication response to authenticate UE at the IMS server and a MCPTT authentication response to authenticate the UE at the MCPTT server.
