As an example, a computing device may broadcast, via a software application, a message to multiple computing devices requesting devices to participate in an activity occurring at a particular time at a particular location. A subset of the multiple computing devices may gather at the particular location prior to the particular time to participate in the activity. Prior to the particular time, the computing device may discover the subset and create a peer-to-peer network. Based on a set of attributes associated with each computing device in the subset, the computing device may assign individual computing devices in the subset a role and a position. Each of the computing devices in the subset may be positioned in the particular location according to the position and perform the role at the particular time to collectively perform the activity.

Systems and methods are described for transferring content to and from an aircraft. Content can be divided into one or more subsets that each contains some or all of the content. Each of the subsets can be transferred to one or more mobile computing devices via a wireless network, and then transferred from the mobile computing device one onboard or departed from the aircraft. In this manner, content can be updated more regularly and at a lesser expense than traditional avenues for updating content. Rewards can be used to incentivize participants to accept the temporary storage of a subset of the content on their mobile computing device.

A communication management server includes a processor and a memory device configured to store a program. The program causes the processor to acquire first identification information configured to indicate a network service and second identification information configured to manage a communication device receiving the network service. The program also causes the processor to generate first setting information configured to connect a network providing server corresponding to the network service and the communication device based on the first identification information and the second identification information. The program also causes the processor to transmit the first setting information generated in the generation unit to the communication device.

Downlink spectral capacity of an eMBMS cell to be maximized for the eMBMS users. In one embodiment, supplementary eMBMS cells may be used together with a primary cell, in which the supplementary eMBMS cells broadcast only eMBMS content and the primary cell is used for uplink and downlink signaling. The primary cell may perform signaling for the corresponding supplementary cells. In this manner, signaling relating to configuring of the eMBMS cells may be offloaded to the non-eMBMS primary cell and eMBMS specific services can be fully utilized from the eMBMS cells. In a second embodiment, an eMBMS cell may be a standalone eMBMS cell that is not associated with a primary cell. In this embodiment, self-contained eMBMS signaling is defined. Additionally, eMBMS data may be broadcast in specified MBSN subframes. In this manner, a device, such as an eMBMS-only device, can independently receive eMBMS services.

Task delegation and cooperation for automated assistants is presented. A method comprises receiving, at a centralized support center that is in contact with a plurality of automated assistants including a first automated assistant and a second automated assistant, a request to perform a task on behalf of an individual, formulating, at the centralized support center, the task as a plurality of sub-tasks including a first sub-task and a second sub-task, delegating, at the centralized support center, the first sub-task to the first automated assistant, based on a determination at the centralized support center that the first automated assistant is capable of performing the first sub-task, and delegating, at the centralized support center, the second sub-task to the second automated assistant, based on a determination at the centralized support center that the second automated assistant is capable of performing the second sub-task.

Aspects of this disclosure relate to pair of wireless communication devices wirelessly communicating with a network system in a coordinated manner. A secondary wireless communication device can wirelessly communicate part of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission associated with a primary wireless communication device (i) with the primary wireless communication device via the peer-to-peer link and (ii) with the network system via a cellular link. The secondary wireless communication device can enable the primary wireless communication device to communicate with the network system at a higher data rate and/or at a higher MIMO rank.

A system for multi-faceted resource aggregation and deployment is provided, the system comprising: a memory device with computer-readable program code stored thereon; a communication device connected to a network; and a processing device, wherein the processing device is configured to execute the computer-readable program code to: generate a user profile comprising historical user interaction data associated with a user; establish a connection to a resource location associated with the user; identify an existing resource associated with the resource location; determine an additional resource based on identifying the existing resource, wherein the additional resource is complementary to the existing resource; aggregate the existing resource and the additional resource into a multivariable resource collection; and configure a resource deployment based on the multivariable resource collection and the user profile, wherein the resource deployment is configured to complete a multi-faceted interaction using a combination of the multivariable resource collection.

Provided is a collaborative Personal Assistant (PA) system for delegating provision of services by third party task providers. The system includes a contextual reasoned for searching for a first third party task provider supporting a first task required by a user input by using natural language input patterns for tasks supported by services operated by the third party task providers; and a server comprised of a task delegate unit for providing to the user a service and an action required by the user input for the first task, and providing additional service and actions supporting the first task to the user regardless of the user input.

When a Rich Communications Services (RCS) data file is to be provided to a terminating user equipment (UE) that is on a different mobile communications network than an originating UE, the network address, or uniform resource locator (URL), of the RCS data file may be modified to indicate that the RCS data file is to traverse a network-to-network interface (NNI). An RCS system on the originating mobile communications network may identify if the terminating UE is on the same or different mobile communications network. If the terminating UE is on a different mobile communications network, then the RCS system may modify the URL to indicate the originating and terminating mobile communications networks and send the URL to an RCS system of the terminating mobile communications network. The modified URL enables retrieval of the RCS data file network by a content system of the terminating mobile communications network.

A telematics device of a vehicle, comprising includes a temperature sensor to sense temperature of the telematics device; and a processor in communication with the temperature sensor. The processor is programmed to disable over-the-air software update functionality responsive to the temperature exceeding a first predefined threshold value, disable hotspot functionality responsive to the temperature exceeding a second predefined threshold value, and disable remote services functionality responsive to the temperature exceeding a third predefined threshold value.
