A user device may receive, from a server device, a three-dimensional model of a product, and may display the three-dimensional model of the product, with a product review option, in an augmented reality user interface. The user device may display a product feature review panel, product review features, and product feature hotspots, with the three-dimensional model in the augmented reality user interface, based on selection of the product review option. The user device may receive a review of a product feature, via one of the product feature hotspots associated with the product feature and provided in the augmented reality user interface, and may submit the review of the product feature to the server device.

Systems and methods for utilizing augmented reality and voice commands to capture and display product information

A system described herein may maintain one or more models that associate respective objects and triggers with sets of actions. The system may receive visual information from a User Equipment ('UE'), may determine that the visual information received from the UE depicts the particular object, and may identify that the one or more triggers are met. The system may provide, to the UE, based on identifying that the visual information received from the UE depicts the particular object, and further based on identifying that the one or more triggers are met, an augmented reality (“AR”) virtual assistant that performs the particular set of actions with respect to the particular object.

Systems and methods for intent-based augmented reality virtual assistant

A user device may receive an image of an area receiving signals from a wireless router; determine a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) based on a signal from the wireless router; determine an initial virtual point in the image; calculate geographical coordinates of the initial virtual point; calculate a signal strength of the wireless router at the geographical coordinates and based on the RSSI; provide for display an augmented reality indication of the signal strength in the image and at the initial virtual point; receive inputs indicating movements of the initial virtual point to new virtual points in the image; calculate new geographical coordinates of the new virtual points; calculate new signal strengths of the wireless router at the new geographical coordinates and based on the RSSI; and provide for display augmented reality indications of the new signal strengths in the image and at the new virtual points.

In an exemplary embodiment, a source media content processing device located at a customer premises 1) detects a user request to flick a media content instance from the source device to a destination media content processing device located at the customer premises and communicatively connected to the source device by way of a local area network ('LAN'), 2) in response to the detecting, hosts the media content instance at a resource address for access by way of the LAN and transmits the resource address to the destination device by way of the LAN, 3) receives, from the destination device by way of the LAN, a request to access the media content instance at the resource address, 4) and streams, to the destination device by way of the LAN in response to the request, data representative of the media content instance. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

Media content flicking systems and methods

An approach is provided for supporting messaging services via a set-top box. A set-top box establishes communications with a user device. The set-top box receives a message from the user device, and stores the message for inclusion in a messaging log. The set-top box presents content of the messaging log via a display coupled to the set-top box. According to one embodiment, the set-top box receives network address information of the user device, maps the network address information to location information, and retrieves information from a data repository based on the location information. In another embodiment, the user device acquires information about a program being experience by a user via the set-top box, and generates a message to provide presence status information to a social network service based on the program information.

Method and apparatus for supporting services via a set-top box

An approach is provided for presenting media via a set-top box. A set-top box detects a wireless device according to a predetermined communication protocol. A communication channel is established with the wireless device according to the communication protocol. A command message is received, according to the communication protocol, from the wireless device over the communication channel, wherein the command message specifies playback of media resident on the wireless device via the set-top box.

Method and system for presenting media via a set-top box

An approach is provided for controlling a set-top box based on sensor triggered events on a user device. A set-top box receives a control message from a user device, wherein the control message specifies an event corresponding to one or more sensors of the user device. The set-top box maps the event to an activity associated with an application that is executed by the set-top box. Also, the set-top box presents media content provided by the application according to the mapped activity.

Method and apparatus for interacting with a set-top box based on sensor events from a user device

An approach is provided for controlling a set-top box based on a device event. A set-top box detects a wireless device. A communication channel is established with the wireless device configured to initiate a voice call. A command message is received, by the set-top box, over the communication channel. The command corresponds to a device event experienced by the wireless device.
