A vehicular driver monitoring system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and viewing at least a head region of a driver of the vehicle. Image data captured by the camera is provided to an electronic control unit (ECU) and is processed at the ECU for determining attentiveness of the driver. The vehicular driver monitoring system, responsive to selection by the driver of a video-conference function, initiates a video conference telecommunication whereby video image data derived from the provided captured image data is wirelessly communicated to an external receiver that is located remote from the vehicle for viewing by another person communicating with the driver of the vehicle via the external receiver. Communication data generated at the external receiver is wirelessly communicated to the vehicular driver monitoring system.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system obtains encoded video content, and transmits the encoded video content over a network for presentation at a communication device by a video player executing on the communication device. The encoded video content is decoded in a decoding process by a decoder of an operating system of the communication device to generate decoded video content; the decoded video content is analyzed by a complexity analyzer of the operating system to generate a video complexity report. The method also includes receiving the video complexity report over the network from the communication device, and adjusting a data rate for the encoded video content, based at least in part on the video complexity report, to generate adjusted video content for transmission to the communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A method of directing content preparation for a 5G media streaming (5GMS) network performed by at least one processor implementing a 5GMS application provider, the method comprising creating a content preparation template, by the 5GMS application provider, wherein the content preparation template includes first information specifying instructions for content preparation, and second information specifying instructions for content output; establishing a first provisioning session with a 5GMS application function; transmitting the content preparation template to the 5GMS application function in the first provisioning session, wherein the 5GMS application function requests to allocate 5GMS content preparation resources and 5GMS content distribution resources; and receiving a first acknowledgement from the 5GMS application function, wherein the first acknowledgement indicates an allocation of at least one of content preparation resources and content distribution resources.

A gateway device is provided. The gateway device comprises a wireless communication interface for communicating with a cellular network through a two-way radio link. The gateway device comprise a set of one or more video ports, each video port for connecting to a video camera through a wired connection. The gateway device comprises a processing unit for receiving a selection of a video port and an identification of a set of one or more destination devices to receive a live video stream, receiving, through the video port, raw video being recorded by a video camera connected to the video port, encoding the raw video into a compressed video stream, and livestreaming the compressed video stream to the set of destinations devices through the wireless communication interface.

A computer-implemented method for controlling content distribution includes forwarding information associated with a user to a device operated by the user, the information being configured for use in selecting content from any of multiple content providers for a content distribution to the user. The method includes receiving, in response to the information, an edit of the information forwarded from the device. The edit identifies a first content provider and including a first modification of the content distribution regarding the first content provider. The method includes storing the edit in association with the information such that the first modification is taken into account in the content distribution. The method can be implemented using a computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable storage medium.

A telecom network monitoring method and associated computer program product and hardware device. Location and activation sight information is collected via a plurality of image retrieval devices associated with a plurality of hardware devices connected to a telecom network. Object elevation, movement, and abstraction attributes of objects within images retrieved from the plurality of image retrieval devices are collected from a metadata database. Based on the object elevation, movement, and abstraction attributes of objects within the images, obstruction characteristics associated with obstruction objects of the objects located within a coverage area of the telecom network are detected. The obstruction characteristics are mapped with login and disturbance patterns of the telecom network. Based on results of the mapping, an alternative transmission location within the telecom network is determined. The alternative transmission location includes improved transmissions characteristics with respect to the transmission location.

According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a non-volatile semiconductor memory device, a control unit, a memory as a work area, a wireless communication module, and an extension register. The control unit controls the non-volatile semiconductor memory device. The extension register is provided in the memory and has a data length by which a wireless communication function of the wireless communication module can be defined. The control unit causes the non-volatile semiconductor memory device to store, as a file, an HTTP request supplied from a host, causes the extension register, based on a first command supplied from the host, to register an HTTP transmission command transmitted together with the first command, and causes the wireless communication module to transmit the HTTP request stored in the non-volatile semiconductor memory device based on the transmission command registered in the extension register.

A wearable form factor wireless camera may include an image sensor, coupled to an infrared detection module, which captures infrared video. The wearable form factor wireless camera may attach to clothing worn on a user and be ruggedized. A storage device may store the captured infrared video at a first fidelity. The stored infrared video may be capable of being transmitted at the first fidelity and at a second fidelity, with the first fidelity providing a higher frame rate than the second fidelity. A burst transmission unit may transmit the stored infrared video at the second fidelity via a cellular network. The infrared detection module, the image sensor, the storage device and the burst transmission unit may be powered by a battery. The image sensor, the infrared detection module, the battery, the storage device and the burst transmission unit may be internal to the wearable form factor wireless camera.

A user equipment includes a wireless interface for communication with a cellular communication network. The user equipment is operative to receive, via the wireless interface, network assistance information for a media streaming session, and to transmit media streaming session related information to the cellular communication network.

Various embodiments of a system includes receiving a request to display a content and employing an antenna system to receive content data that is representative of the content. The antenna system includes a first antenna, a second antenna, and a third antenna. The system further utilizing at least three arrangements to collect the content, wherein a first arrangement includes receiving the content data broadcasted over the air to extract the content from the content data, a second arrangement includes establishing a wireless communication connection with a network node device operated by a first telecommunication service provider to collect the content data from a server, and a third arrangement includes connecting to a hot-spot having a connection to a second network node device operated by a second telecommunication service provider to collect the content data from the server. The system further transfers the content to the display component, which is collected utilizing the three arrangements.
