The disclosure provides a method in a vehicle and an apparatus for a vehicle for transferring playback of media content between a mobile device and the vehicle. The method comprises detecting the playback of the media content on the mobile device and retrieving the media content played back on the mobile device. Then, the retrieved media content is played back at the vehicle in synchronization with the playback of the media content on the mobile device. Next, a first message is sent to the mobile device instructing the mobile device to pause its playback of the media content. The disclosure provides a method and a mobile device for transferring playback of media content between the mobile device and a vehicle.

A method, corresponding system, and corresponding apparatus distribute user generated content from a computing device to one or more display devices. The computer-implemented method may begin by communicatively coupling the computing device, a server, and the one or more display devices. The computing device executes a user interface. The user interface may include a field for accepting user generated content. The server may store the user generated content, in a manner enabling assembling of the user generated content. The server communicates the assembled user generated content to selected display devices. The display devices display the assembled user generated content in a sequence defined by a playlist.

According to one aspect disclosed herein, a service centric virtual network function architecture can be used for development and deployment of services in a cloud computing system. The cloud computing system can include a plurality of compute resources and a plurality of memory resources. A portion of the plurality of memory resources can include virtual machine monitor instructions. The virtual machine monitor instructions can be executed by a first portion of the plurality of compute resources to perform operations. In particular, the virtual machine monitor instructions can be executed by the first portion of the plurality of compute resources to instantiate a virtual network function to be executed by a second portion of the plurality of compute resources. The virtual network function can include at least a portion of a decomposition of a physical network function that supports at least a portion of a telecommunications service.

A heterogeneous communication system is presented that enables different devices or sensors to communicate within an Internet of Things (IoT) environment. The heterogeneous communication system can include a protocol layer that enables the heterogeneous communication system to convert observations, or data associated with a semantic, from one format to another format that can be processed by an intended recipient system. Further, the heterogeneous communication system can support multiple communication technologies enabling a diversity of devices or sensors to be integrated within a single IoT implementation without an end user creating any application-specific communication software for the network or limiting the selection of devices within the network.

A method and apparatus and computer readable record media for communication on a Wi-Fi direct multi-group network. A method for communication in the Wi-Fi direct multi-group network comprising receiving, by a Wi-Fi direct multi-group network server, a request for transmission of a Wi-Fi direct communication application for a Wi-Fi direct multi-group communication service from an user equipment (UE) directly or indirectly through a relay server; and transmitting, by the Wi-Fi direct multi-group network server, the Wi-Fi direct communication application to the UE directly or indirectly through the relay server, wherein the Wi-Fi direct communication application determines destination address information for communication of the UE in the Wi-Fi direct multi-group network.
