20120244886 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRACKING AND DISSEMINATING HEALTH INFORMATION VIA MOBILE CHANNELS - An approach is provided for tracking and disseminating health information. Health information corresponding to a geographic location is caused, at least in part, to be received. Location information associated with a user equipment configured to receive a message specifying content is determined. Whether the location information is encompassed by the geographic location is determined. The message is modified to present a health alert indicator by appending supplemental content to the message or by amending the content. Initiation of delivery of the modified message to the user equipment when the user equipment is in or within a predetermined range of the geographic location is caused, at least in part. | 09-27-2012 |
20130166651 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SHARING MEDIA UPON REQUEST VIA SOCIAL NETWORKS - An approach is provided for determining requests for media and responding in substantially real-time utilizing a single user interface. The social network client determines one or more requests from one or more requesting users to capture media related to at least one social networking status of one or more sharing users. The social network client then causes, at least in part, an indication of the one or more requests to the one or more sharing users related to the at least one social networking status. | 06-27-2013 |
20130297535 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRESENTING CLOUD-BASED REPOSITORIES BASED ON LOCATION INFORMATION - An approach is provided for presenting cloud-based repositories based on location information. The cloud-based storage platform determines location information associated with one or more cloud-based repositories that include data associated with at least one user. Next, the cloud-based storage platform causes, at least in part, a presentation of a user interface depicting one or more representations of the one or more cloud-based repositories based, at least in part, on the location information. | 11-07-2013 |
20150058737 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISTRIBUTING CONTENT TO MULTIPLE DEVICES - An approach is provided distributing content to multiple devices. Specifically, a distribution module causes, at least in part, a rendering of at least one user interface for distributing content among at least one device and one or more other devices with connectivity to the at least one device. The distribution module then causes, at least in part, one or more segmentations of the at least one user interface, wherein the one or more segmentations are associated with the at least one device, respective one or more of the one or more other devices, or a combination thereof. Next, the distribution module determines one or more interactions with the at least one user interface, the one or more segmentations, or a combination thereof to cause, at least in part, a distribution of the content. | 02-26-2015 |
20150120575 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COUPON NEGOTIATION AND AUTHENTICATION - An approach is provided for negotiating and authenticating coupons. A coupon management platform receives a request for determining a first offer information associated with at least one first coupon. The coupon management platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of the first offer information against one or more negotiation rules to determine at least one second coupon. The coupon management platform further causes, at least in part, a presentation of the at least one second coupon, second offer information associated with the at least one second coupon, or a combination thereof. | 04-30-2015 |
20150127447 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COUPON REDEMPTION BASED ON CONNECTIVITY AND SPATIAL CONFIGURATION - An approach is provided for validating redemption of a coupon. The coupon management module causes, at least in part, presentation of a coupon via a device. Next, the coupon management module receives a first code in response to the presentation. Next, the coupon management module causes, at least in part, validation of a redemption of the coupon based, at least in part, on the first code. The validation is performed at the device, at a server, or a combination thereof. Next, the coupon management module retrieves a second code based, at least in part, on the coupon, the first code, or a combination thereof. Next, the coupon management module causes, at least in part, presentation of the second code for verification. The validation of the redemption of the coupon is further based, at least in part, on the verification of the second code. | 05-07-2015 |
20150213088 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING APPLICATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH LOCATION-BASED USER-INTERFACES - An approach is provided for causing, at least in part, a presentation of at least one instance of an application in at least one user interface element ( | 07-30-2015 |
20150220988 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ASSOCIATING HOTKEYS WITH POINT OF INTEREST INFORMATION - An approach for associating one or more hot keys with point of interest information is described. A hot key activation platform causes, at least in part, an association of one or more hot keys with point of interest information. Activation of the one or more hot keys at at least one device causes, at least in part, a presentation of the point of interest information at the at least one device. | 08-06-2015 |
20150223201 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING POINT OF INTEREST INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH BROADCAST CONTENT - An approach is provided for transmitting point of interest information associated with a network broadcast. A point of interest platform receives, at a device, a program item over a network broadcast. Then, the point of interest platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of the data carrier signal associated with the broadcast content to determine the point of interest information associated with the program item. | 08-06-2015 |
