An approach is provided for configuring one or more mobile devices to one or more services associated with at least one structure based on various contexts, access criteria, and/or security levels. The access platform determines proximity information of one or more devices with respect to at least a first access point, a second access point, or a combination thereof associated with at least one structure. The access platform next processes and/or facilitates a processing of the proximity information to determine one or more roles, one or more accesses, one or more rights, or a combination thereof. The access platform then determines one or more services to make available based, at least in part, on the one or more roles, the one or more accesses, the one or more rights, or a combination thereof.

An approach is provided for configuring one or more mobile devices to multiple access points and/or services associated with at least one structure. An access platform determines status information associated with at least one structure, wherein the at least one structure is associated with one or more access points located in one part of the at least one structure, one or more other access points located in another part of the at least one structure, or a combination thereof. The access platform then processes and/or facilitates a processing of the status information to cause, at least in part, an activation, a deactivation, or a combination thereof of the one or more access points, one or more services associated with the one or more access points, the one or more other access points, one or more other services associated with the one or more other access points, or a combination thereof.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for facilitating remote data processing. A method may include accessing content represented by data having a first size. The method may further include preprocessing the data to generate reduced data having a second size being smaller than the first size. The method may additionally include causing the reduced data to be sent to a remote data processing apparatus configured to process the reduced data to derive data related to the content. Corresponding apparatuses are also provided.

A method for optimizing memory bandwidth using bank-based memory allocation is described. The method includes receiving a request for an allocation of memory. In response to receiving the request, memory is allocated to the request based on a performance ranking of memory banks in a plurality of memory banks. A performance ranking of a particular memory bank may be based at least in part on both a busyness and a row hit ratio of the particular memory bank. Apparatus and computer readable media are also described.

Allocating memory based on performance ranking

Systems and methods for creating 'feelings' from tangible objects in a responsive and cost efficient manner are provided. In accordance with such systems and methods, near field communication (NFC) tags are embedded into tangible objects, e.g., Compact Discs (CDs), books, posters, etc., where the NFC tags include feeling/sensory feedback parameters associated with the object in which the NFC tag is embedded. That is, such NFC tags are able to stimulate one or more senses, such as the human senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. Thus, sensory feedback is provided via tangible objects, where only minimal cost (e.g., a few cents) is added to the production/manufacture of such objects.

Method and apparatus for sensory tags providing sound, smell and haptic feedback

A system for expediting connection establishment between apparatuses. In at least one example implementation, an apparatus may transmit discovery messages and may receive response messages. If any of the response messages are determined to satisfy predetermined response criteria, the apparatus may further determine if any of these response messages (e.g., the messages that were determined to satisfy the predetermined response criteria) are associated with apparatuses that satisfy selection criteria for the selection of multiple apparatuses that may, in some instances, operate together as a group. Apparatuses that are determined to satisfy the multiple selection criteria may then be selected, wherein connection establishment is expedited for the selected apparatuses.
