According to one aspect disclosed herein, a provider device can receive, from a requester device, a network access request requesting, on behalf of the requester device, access to a Wi-Fi network associated with a network provider and provided, at least in part, by a network device. In response, the provider device can prompt the network provider to accept or deny the requester device access to the Wi-Fi network. The provider device can receive input indicating that the network provider accepts the network access request, and in response to the input, can create a network access package that includes a secure network access configuration to be utilized by the network device to establish, at least in part, a secure connection with the requester device to provide the requester device access to the Wi-Fi. The provider device can encrypt the network access package to create an encrypted network access package.

Network authentication via encrypted network access packages

A system for providing efficient delivery of media content to the masses is disclosed. In particular, the system may include receiving requests for content from a plurality of user devices. The system may then include synchronizing fulfillment timeframes for delivering the content based on a preset time interval. In response to the requests, the system may deliver the content, such as via a satellite network, to a storage device, such as, but not limited to, a digital video recorder, a video-ready-access device equipped with a satellite receiver and antenna, a digital subscriber line access multiplexer equipped with a satellite received and antenna, or any combination thereof, based on the preset time interval. The system may then include causing the storage device to deliver the requested content to the plurality of user devices via a wireless network communicatively linked to the plurality of user devices.

System for providing efficient delivery of media content to the masses

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, participating in a communication session over a network with a second communication device that is remote from the communication device where the communication session includes a computer supported collaborative work environment utilizing a non-baton passing protocol, presenting content at a display device where the content is presented by the second communication device at a second display device, receiving first user input at the user interface where second user input is received by the second communication device where a conflict resolution is applied to events associated with the first and second user input, and presenting adjusted content at the display device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Apparatus and method for managing events in a computer supported collaborative work environment

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for operating a vehicle. The vehicle is operated by tracking a location of the vehicle, a vehicle configuration and external conditions around the vehicle over a time period. A repetitive occurrence is identified, the repetitive occurrence having a start condition and an end condition and a transition path between the start position and the end condition. The number of times the repetitive occurrence occurs during the time period is determined and compared to a first threshold. When the first threshold is satisfied and the vehicle is located at the start condition, a function is provided, that when activated by an operator of the vehicle, will automatically transition the vehicle along the transition path between the start position and the end condition.

Methods and apparatuses to operate a vehicle

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, presenting content at a display device where the content is also presented by a group of other communication devices, receiving adjustment data from a second communication device where the adjustment data is representative of an adjustment of the content according to user input received at the second communication device adjusting the content according to the adjustment data to generate adjusted content, presenting the adjusted content at the display device, and providing feedback information over the network indicating that the adjusted content has been presented by the communication device at the display device, where the providing of the feedback information enables the second communication device to present a feedback indicia at a second display device of the group of other display devices, and where the feedback indicia indicates that the communication device has presented the adjusted content at the display device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
