In this regard, a method may be provided that includes determining a privacy filter and content selection rules associated with an earpiece. The method may also cause content to be provided to the earpiece in accordance with the privacy filter and the content selection rules for storage by the earpiece. The content may be caused to be provided in advance of playback by the earpiece so as to allow for storage of the content by the earpiece. The method may also include causing control signals to be subsequently provided to the earpiece during playback. | 01-17-2013 |
20130171937 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING MOBILE SERVICES OUTSIDE OF CELLULAR COVERAGE - The application provides a method, apparatus and computer program product to enable the provision of mobile services outside the typical coverage area of a cell. Moreover, some embodiments of the application may enable the provision of burst radio link communications over long distances between transmission and reception devices (e.g., access points) having devices within their respective coverage areas in order to enable the devices to provide data or content from one device to another. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the access points may be enabled to communicate with the devices within their respective coverage areas via short range communication techniques and aspects of cognitive radio may be employed. | 07-04-2013 |
20130321209 | METHOD, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR HIGH ACCURACY LOCATION DETERMINATION - Method, apparatus, and computer program product example embodiments provide short-range communication based location finding. According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method comprises receiving, by a first transceiver of an apparatus mounted on a moveable platform, from a remote device, one or more wireless packets including information packets containing angle of arrival information from the remote device, wherein the moveable platform is in motion relative to the remote device; determining in the apparatus, at least a first angle of arrival from the received angle of arrival information; and generating distance estimation data in the apparatus relative to the remote device, based on the determined first angle of arrival. | 12-05-2013 |
20150373486 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING MOBILE SERVICES OUTSIDE OF CELLULAR COVERAGE - A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for providing mobile services outside of cellular coverage. In the context of a method, an indication is received, at an intermediate device, of data for transmission to a target device for which cellular network communication between an originating device and the target device is not currently available. The method also includes receiving data corresponding to the indication from a memory buffer associated with a short range communication link. The method further includes causing communication of the data via a long range communication link to enable communication of the data to the target device. | 12-24-2015 |
