Abstract

For methods, system, and apparatuses for dynamic response management a network device may receive an application service identifier and assign a radio resource to a first device based on the application service identifier. There may be a partitioning of content into a plurality of segments. There also may be an assignment of a quality of service level to a segment of the plurality segments and an adjustment of the quality of service level based on sensors of a device and other inputs.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a processor, a plurality of segments of a video,

wherein the segments of the video are partitioned by time;

marking, by the processor, a first segment of the plurality of segments of the video based on an analysis of interactions of a plurality of users;

based on detecting the marking, managing, by the processor, user experience of the video, wherein managing the user experience comprises adjusting a first quality of service level to a second quality of service level of the first segment of the plurality of segments of the video, wherein the user experience is based on at least one of a partitioned time period, bits, color, or scene type;

determining, by the processor, a position of a body part of a user relative to a device; and

based on the position of the body part of the user relative to the device, altering, by the processor, the second quality of service of the first segment of the plurality of segments of the video to a third quality of service level.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the body part comprises an eye.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the body part comprises lips.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the body part comprises a head.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the analysis of interactions of the plurality of users comprises a respective heartbeat of the plurality of users.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the analysis of interactions of the plurality of users comprises a respective body temperature of the plurality of users.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

storing, by the processor, the second quality of service level for the video, the second quality of service level for the video linked to a profile associated with the user; and

providing, by the processor, the video with the second quality of service level to the device for display based on the profile of the user.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the adjusting of the first quality of service level to the second quality of service level is based on determining that a color shown in the first segment of the plurality of segments of the video reach a threshold percentage of color.

9. An apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising;

receiving a plurality of segments of a video,

wherein the segments of the video are partitioned by time;

marking a first segment of the plurality of segments of the video based on an analysis of interactions of a plurality of users;

based on detecting the marking, managing user experience of the video, wherein managing the user experience comprises adjusting a first quality of service level to a second quality of service level of the first segment of the plurality of segments of the video, wherein the user experience is based on at least one of a partitioned time period, bits, color, or scene type;

determining a position of a body part of a user relative to a device; and

based on the position of the body part of the user relative to the device, altering the second quality of service of the first segment of the plurality of segments of the video to a third quality of service level.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the body part comprises an eye.

11. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the body part comprises lips.

12. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the body part comprises a head.

13. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the analysis of interactions of the plurality of users comprises a respective heartbeat of the plurality of users.

14. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the analysis of interactions of the plurality of users comprises a respective body temperature of the plurality of users.

15. The apparatus of claim 9, further operations comprising:

storing, by the processor, the second quality of service level for the video, the second quality of service level for the video linked to a profile associated with the user; and

providing, by the processor, the video with the second quality of service level to the device for display based on the profile of the user.

16. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the adjusting of the first quality of service level to the second quality of service level is based on determining that a color shown in the first segment of the plurality of segments of the video reach a threshold percentage of color.

17. A system, the system comprising:

a server; and

a user device communicatively connected with the server, wherein the user device comprises;

a processor; and

a memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising;

receiving a plurality of segments of a video,

wherein the segments of the video are partitioned by time;

wherein a first segment of the plurality of segments of the video is marked based on an analysis of interactions of a plurality of users;

based on detecting the marking, managing user experience of the video, wherein managing the user experience comprises adjusting a first quality of service level to a second quality of service level of the first segment of the plurality of segments of the video, wherein the user experience is based on at least one of a partitioned time period, bits, color, or scene type;

determining a position of a body part of a user relative to a first device; and

based on the position of the body part of the user relative to the first device, altering the second quality of service of the first segment of the plurality of segments of the video to a third quality of service level.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the first device is the user device.

19. The system of claim 17, wherein the body part comprises an eye, a head, or lips.

20. The system of claim 17, wherein the analysis of interactions of the plurality of users comprises a respective heartbeat of the plurality of users or body temperature of the plurality of users.
