Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving a user-generated query from user equipment. In response to the user-generated query, obtaining consumption data within a geographic region of the user equipment, determining an environmental profile of the user equipment from the consumption data, and generating content for presentation at the user equipment that is responsive to the user-generated query and relevant to the environmental profile. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- registering one or more sensors in a database, wherein the registering comprises storing, in a sensor record for each respective sensor of the one or more sensors, a sensor identifier, a sensor type, sensor location information, sensor range information, and a sensor status;
- receiving, from the one or more sensors, sensor data;
- receiving a user-generated query from user equipment;
- responsive to the user-generated query:
- determining a threshold range associated with a location of the user equipment;
- identifying, from the database, at least a portion of the one or more sensors having sensor range information that intersects the threshold range associated with the location of the user equipment;
- determining from the sensor data an ambient environment based on the threshold range associated with the location of the user equipment;
- and
- generating content for presentation at the user equipment that is responsive to the user-generated query and relevant to the ambient environment.
A non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving, from one or more sensors, sensor data;
- receiving a user-generated query from user equipment;
- responsive to the user-generated query:
- determining from the sensor data an ambient environment associated with a threshold range of a location of the user equipment;
- and
- generating content for presentation at the user equipment that is responsive to the user-generated query and relevant to the ambient environment, wherein the generating content comprises
- selecting supplemental content relevant to the ambient environment, and
- communicating the supplemental content to the user equipment.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processing system including a processor, a user-generated query from user equipment;
- responsive to the user-generated query:
- obtaining, by the processing system, consumption data within a geographic region of the user equipment;
- determining, by the processing system, from the consumption data an environmental profile of the user equipment;
- determining, by the processing system, from the consumption data and the environmental profile, a timeline of events associated with the geographic region;
- and
- generating, by the processing system, content for presentation at the user equipment that is responsive to the user-generated query and relevant to the environmental profile, wherein the generating the content comprises generating the content including the timeline of events associated with the geographic region.
