An approach for communication and sharing of content among user devices includes a method for determining a request for sharing of at least one content item between at least one device and one or more other devices, wherein the request is determined by at least one content sharing component. The method also comprises causing an initiation of at least one communication component to cause an establishment of a communication session between the at least one device and the one or more other devices. The method further comprises causing a transfer of one or more tokens to the at least one device for facilitating the sharing of the at least one content item, wherein the transfer of the one or more tokens is over the communication session, and wherein the sharing is performed over at least one other communication session.

Method and apparatus for initiating communication and sharing of content among a plurality of devices

An approach is provided for building a scalable service platform by initiating transmission of encrypted data from a public network cache. An access control server platform determines a first authorization key for a user and a second authorization key for a resource, and then encrypts the resource with the second authorization key, and encrypts the second authorization key with the first authorization key. The access control server platform initiates distribution of the encrypted second authorization key with the encrypted resource over a network. The access control server platform further initiates caching the encrypted second authorization key with the encrypted resource that meets a predefined threshold value (e.g., a data size, an access frequency, a modification frequency, or an auditing requirement) in a cache in the network, and initiates transmission of the cached and encrypted second authorization key with the cached and encrypted resource from the cache to at least one authorized entity.

Method and apparatus for providing a scalable service platform using a network cache

There are disclosed various methods and apparatuses notification service. In some embodiments the method comprises receiving an indication from a client device, which indication relates to a location; creating a subscription between the client and the location owner of said location being selected, and based on the subscription, transmitting notifications relating to the location to the client device. In some other embodiments, the method comprises selecting a location by an apparatus; transmitting an indication relating to said location to a server to have a subscription with a location owner of said location; based on the subscription, receiving notifications from the location owner.

Method, apparatus, and computer program product for management of connected devices, such as in a wireless docking environment-intelligent and automatic connection activation

An approach is provided for determining one or more recommendations based on an incremental update of a recommendation model. An incremental platform causes, at least in part, a categorization of activity information into a plurality of subsets based, at least in part, on one or more user groups, one or more item groups, at least one update time for at least one recommendation model associated with the activity information, or a combination thereof. The incremental platform further processes and/or facilitates a processing of the activity information based, at least in part, on the categorization to determine whether to perform an incremental update of the at least one recommendation model. The incremental platform also determines one or more recommendations based, at least in part, on the at least one recommendation model, the incremental update, or a combination thereof.
