Features are disclosed for providing items from an item store to an item store consumer. An item store organizer can request an item store from an item redemption system based on item store parameters. The item store organizer can receive a single use token from the item redemption system to provide initial access to the item store. The item redemption system can validate the item store consumer based on the single use token. The item redemption system can further validate redemption requests from the item store consumer based on the item store parameters. The item redemption system can fulfill the redemption request based on payment information of the item store organizer and shipping information of the item store consumer. The item redemption system can transmit redemption information to the item store organizer based on fulfilling the redemption request.

Redeeming items from an item store using information from multiple accounts

Provided is a method for managing a software defined network using a software control layer to regulate a geo-fenced volume. The software control layer can use a Global Positioning System (GPS) including a range of latitudes, a range of longitudes and a range of altitudes. A resource within the geo-fenced volume can be assigned a location using the GPS coordinates. The resource can be managed by external applications that are operating through the software control layer. To determine an access of a device to the geo-fenced volume, the GPS coordinates, are gathered as a geographical location of the device. A user profile can be accessed to determine an access path of the user. Depending on the geographical location of the device a first condition can be generated based on the device being within the geo-fenced volume. A network permission can be granted to the device based on the first condition.

Network authentication of a geo-fenced volume

Rearranging a set of generated application display panels is provided. A set of application display icons corresponding to a set of mobile applications installed on a mobile data processing system having matching keyword tags with a geolocation keyword tag corresponding to a defined geographic area is inserted into a set of generated application display panels. The set of generated application display panels with the inserted set of application display icons corresponding to the set of mobile applications having the matching keyword tags is rearranged based on the geolocation keyword tag corresponding to the defined geographic area. The rearranged set of generated application display panels with the inserted set of application display icons corresponding to the set of mobile applications having the matching keyword tags is displayed.

A wireless provider system can manage services provided to a plurality of electronic wireless devices based upon geo-fenced spaces defined by respective sets of points in space. A wireless provider system can provide wireless access service to the plurality of electronic wireless devices. The wireless provider system can detect that a particular electronic wireless device of the plurality of electronic wireless devices is within a particular geo-fenced space. In response to this detecting, the system can identify at least one service associated with the particular geo-fenced space. The wireless provider system can, in response to the identifying, modify the wireless access service provided to the wireless device by attaching the at least one service to the particular electronic wireless device.

Wireless service provider management of geo-fenced spaces

Modulating a voice signal is provided. The voice signal corresponding to a voice communication is received from a sending voice communication device via a network. Voice signal features corresponding to the voice communication are extracted. A set of voice signal filters are selected to modulate the extracted voice signal features corresponding to the voice communication to an average voice signal associated with a geographic area where the voice communication is destined for. The voice signal features corresponding to the voice communication are modulated by applying the selected set of voice signal filters to generate the average voice signal associated with the geographic area where the voice communication is destined for.

Voice signal modulation service for geographic areas

A method for subsidizing wireless services in geo-fenced zones is provided in the illustrative embodiments. A geo-fenced zone is configured, the geo-fenced zone comprising a boundary defined by a set of fixed points in space. A subsidized pricing is configured for the wireless service when the wireless service is consumed by a mobile device within the geo-fenced zone, forming a subsidized wireless service. The mobile device is detected in the geo-fenced zone. The mobile device is provided the subsidized wireless service. A billing entry is applied to an account associated with the mobile device, wherein the billing entry charges the account a subsidized amount corresponding to a measured amount of subsidized wireless service used by the mobile device while the mobile device remains within the geo-fenced zone.
