An approach is provided for providing mechanisms to control unattended notifications at a device. The approach includes determining that at least one notification presented at a device is an unattended notification. The approach also includes causing, at least in part, a presentation of one or more mechanisms for controlling the unattended notification at the device, one or more other devices, or a combination thereof.

Method and apparatus for providing mechanism to control unattended notifications at a device

Methods and apparatuses for located-based content access control have been disclosed. A method may comprise: receiving, at a mobile device, from a short distance communication node, an identifier of the node; generating a device key for the mobile device based on the identifier of the node and an identifier of the mobile device; sending to the node the device key and the identifier of the mobile device, at least based on which the mobile device may be authenticated; and receiving, at the mobile device, from the node, one or more content keys, either encrypted or unencrypted, for decrypting content that has been or is to be saved in the mobile device.

Methods and apparatuses for location-based access management

An approach is provided for providing user-corrected search results. The explanation platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of one or more search results to calculate a ranking of the one or more search results. Next, the explanation platform determines one or more parameters related to calculating the ranking, one or more values of the one or more parameters, or a combination thereof. Then, the explanation platform causes, at least in part, a presentation of one or more representations of at least one of the one or more parameters as one or more explanations for the ranking.

Method and apparatus for providing user-corrected search results

An approach is provided for determining context-based groups based on context information. An input from a device specifying one or more criteria to determine a context-based group from among a plurality of other devices is received. The context information associated with the plurality of other devices is determined. The context-based group is determined based, at least in part, on the context information and the criteria.
