| 20100144378 | REDUCING MESSAGING COSTS - Technology for enabling subscribers to reduce their messaging costs is described. The technology includes employing multiple messaging data messaging services and employing advertisement-based defrayal of messaging charges. A message may be entered or displayed as an SMS message even though a data communications service other than SMS is used to exchange the message between computing devices. When a sender of a message sends an SMS message, the sender may receive an advertisement from an advertiser who defrays the cost of sending the SMS message. The advertiser may also defray the receiving cost for a receiver of the SMS message. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100251231 | DEVICE DEPENDENT ON-DEMAND COMPILING AND DEPLOYMENT OF MOBILE APPLICATIONS - To accommodate different types and versions of execution environments on mobile devices, requests for applications from a programmable device, such as a smart phone or other mobile device include status data about the characteristics of the device. Information about the display, memory, storage, and/or script engine may be forwarded with a request. At a fulfillment server, the information is evaluated so that an appropriately versioned and configured application can be custom built, or selected from a pre-built inventory of applications. This allows a user to postpone an upgrade and still receive appropriate versions of executable, optimized to the particular mobile device. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100318683 | EFFICIENT TRANSFORM FROM XML TO JAVASCRIPT OBJECTS - This disclosure describes data conversion and techniques for sending and receiving data at a mobile device. In one implementation, a proxy server may receive data from a mobile device. The proxy server may convert the data and send the converted data to a network service. In another implementation, a mobile device may convert data and send that data to a network service. The network service may generate data in response and send that data to the mobile device directly | 12-16-2010 |
| 20100318745 | Dynamic Content Caching and Retrieval - This disclosure provides techniques for dynamic content caching and retrieval. For example, a computing device includes cache memory dedicated to temporarily caching data of one or more applications of the computing device. The computing device also includes storage memory to store data in response to requests by the applications. The storage memory may also temporarily cache data. Further, the computing device includes system software to represent to the applications of the computing device that the portions of the storage memory utilized to cache content are available to store data of the applications. In addition, the computing device includes application programming interfaces to provide content to a requesting application from a cache of the computing device and/or from a remote content source. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20100333066 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING SOFTWARE ISSUES - A method of managing software issues includes receiving issue data from a remote host, where the issue data is related to an issue associated with a software application installed on the remote host. The method identifies a potential solution for the issue and sends solution data to the remote host, where the solution data is related to the identified potential solution. Feedback data may be received from the remote host, where the feedback data is indicative of a degree to which the identified potential solution was effective in resolving the issue. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110131450 | USING SYNCHRONIZED EVENT TYPES FOR TESTING AN APPLICATION - Embodiments are described for using synchronized event types in testing an application configured to be executed on multiple types of networked devices. The method can include playing a macro containing recorded application events to be applied to the application for testing. The recorded application events can be stored in a macro queue during playback. Further, order independent events can be identified in the macro queue, which precede an order dependent event. This enables identified order independent events to be removed. In addition, an order dependent event in the macro queue can be removed after order independent events preceding the order dependent events are removed. Then the order dependent event from the macro queue can be played after the order dependent event has been removed from the macro queue. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110307522 | Light Weight Transformation - A transformation engine and transformation processes may reduce computational resources used by a client or a server, such as during the consumption of a document. According to some implementations, a data stream is received in a first format over a network. A mapping template may be associated with the data stream. A forward-traversal of the mapping template may be performed without the accumulation of an intermediate state. Following the traversal of the mapping template, an output stream is emitted in a second format. | 12-15-2011 |

In one implementation, a proxy server may receive data from a mobile device. The proxy server may convert the data and send the converted data to a network service. In another implementation, a mobile device may convert data and send that data to a network service.
