Abstract

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a web server having a controller adapted to manage an archive of media content for a subscriber, and record a transaction description and a corresponding tracking identifier for a transaction that manipulates the archive. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claims (43)

1. A communication device comprising:

a processor configured to receive a notice responsive to an anomalous transaction associated with a stored plurality of media files of a subscriber, wherein the notice comprises a tracking number for the anomalous transaction and a description of the anomalous transaction;

wherein the anomalous transaction corresponds to one of reviewing, retrieving, editing, or deleting one of the stored plurality of media files;

the processor further configured to send a request for a detailed description of the anomalous transaction, wherein the anomalous transaction is identified by detection of a difference between a detected transaction and a behavior profile of the subscriber that includes past transactions;

the communication device configured to determine location coordinates and to send the location coordinates to a communication system, wherein changes in the location coordinates indicate a presence of the subscriber with the communication device; and

the communication device further configured to receive a countermeasure in relation to the anomalous transaction.

2. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the notice is received as an email message.

3. The communication device of claim 1 further comprising:

the communication device further configured to receive the detailed description of the anomalous transaction.

4. The communication device of claim 1 further comprising:

the communication device further configured to receive a selection of the countermeasure; and

the communication device further configured to send the selection of the countermeasure to a server.

5. The communication device of claim 4 further comprising:

a display device configured to display a user interface to select the countermeasure.

6. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the countermeasure corresponds to undoing a portion of effects of the anomalous transaction.

7. The communication device of claim 1 further comprising:

the communication device further configured to communicate with a plurality of base stations in a communication system.

8. The communication device of claim 7 , wherein a handover transition between two of the plurality of base stations indicates the presence of the subscriber in transit.

9. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the tracking number is a tracking identifier comprising a string of alphanumeric characters.

10. A server comprising:

a processor configured to receive a request for presence information for a subscriber responsive to an anomalous transaction associated with a stored plurality of media files of the subscriber, wherein the anomalous transaction is identified by detection of a difference between a detected transaction and a behavior profile of the subscriber that includes past detected transactions;

the processor further configured to detect the subscriber present with a communication device;

the processor further configured to send a notice of the anomalous transaction to the communication device;

the server configured to receive location coordinates of the communication device;

the server further configured to detect changes in the location coordinates to indicate that the subscriber is in transit; and

the server further configured to detect network activity from the communication device operating in a building to indicate that the subscriber is present with the communication device.

11. The server of claim 10 further comprising:

the server further configured to detect a communication between the communication device and a plurality of base stations in a communication system.

12. The server of claim 11 further comprising:

the server further configured to detect a handover transition between two of the plurality of base stations to indicate that the subscriber is in transit.

13. The server of claim 10 , wherein the notice is reported as a short message service message.

14. A method performed by a server, the method comprising:

receiving, by a processor of the server, a request for presence information for a subscriber responsive to an anomalous transaction associated with a stored plurality of media files of the subscriber, wherein the anomalous transaction is identified by detection of a difference between a detected transaction and a behavior profile of the subscriber that includes past detected transactions;

detecting, by the processor, the subscriber present with a communication device;

sending, by the processor, a notice of the anomalous transaction to the communication device;

receiving, by the server, location coordinates of the communication device;

detecting, by the server, changes in the location coordinates to indicate that the subscriber is in transit; and

detecting, by the server, network activity from the communication device operating in a building to indicate that the subscriber is present with the communication device.

15. The method of claim 14 further comprising:

detecting, by the server, a communication between the communication device and a plurality of base stations in a communication system.

16. The method of claim 15 further comprising:

detecting, by the server, a handover transition between two of the plurality of base stations to indicate that the subscriber is in transit.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the notice is reported as a short message service message.
