Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090083615Spreadsheet Fields in Text - A system architecture integrates spreadsheet functionality into text. The architecture allows insertion of discrete individual fields, referred to as “free floating fields”, inline with normal textual sentences. In an HTML document, for example, the free floating fields are elements constructed along with text elements and rendered together as an integrated document. Once rendered, the free floating fields present contents that resemble normal text consistent with the surrounding text. The free floating fields offer spreadsheet functionality, including the ability to handle complex formulas, reference values in a separate free floating field or table, and automatically recalculate the formulas when a source value changes.03-26-2009

20090156209AUTOMATIC PROVISIONING BASED ON COMMUNICATION NETWORK CONNECTIVITY AND CHARACTERISTICS - A communication device and/or applications capable of facilitating communication through different networks are automatically provisioned based on recognition of network environment including network connectivity and characteristics. A user's multiple identities for different networks with varying capabilities and features are accommodated by detecting and prioritizing available network(s), then provisioning the device to enable the user to communicate through one or more of those networks. Communication types and media may vary depending on network type such as cellular, VOIP, and so on. The device may be configured to scan for new networks automatically periodically or based on location change, time change, etc.06-18-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100169417Unified and Best Messaging Systems for Communication Devices - A unified messaging system which can provide messaging services for a plurality of different “message types” is disclosed. The unified messaging system can serve as a single interface to a number of messaging services provided by various messaging components which use different message types (e.g., mail server). A unified message type is implemented and presented to a user as an abstract message. In addition, the unified messaging system can automatically determine, based on a first selected feature, if one or more message types should be used. A particular message type can also be automatically selected as a “best message type” based on one or more selected options.07-01-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100251242Control Service for Relational Data Management - Aspects of a data environment, such as the creation, provisioning, and management of data stores and instances, are managed using a separate control environment. A user can call into an externally-facing interface of the control environment, the call being analyzed to determine actions to be performed in the data environment. A monitoring component of the control plane also can periodically communicate with the data environment to determine any necessary actions to be performed, such as to recover from faults or events in the data environment. A workflow can be instantiated that includes tasks necessary to perform the action. For each task, state information can be passed to a component in the data environment operable to perform the task, until all tasks for an action are completed. Data in the data environment can be accessed directly using an externally-facing interface of the data environment, without accessing the control plane.09-30-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100138833RESOURCE COVERAGE AND ANALYSIS - User interfaces called by a target application can be quickly and efficiently identified and stored for future resource coverage analysis. User interfaces of the target application that are accessed by users executing the target application on their computing device can be automatically tracked during execution of the target application. Information gathered on user interfaces of a target application and accessed user interfaces of the target application can be employed to generate one or more reports. Generated reports on user interface usage can be used to, e.g., identify the application resources to localize, prioritize the application resources to localize, discern application resource trends for, e.g., maintenance and upgrade activities, detect unused application resources, and select appropriate application resources for test scenarios.06-03-2010

20110010351VERIFYING LOCALIZED PRODUCT VERSIONS - Systems, methods, and computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that verify localized product versions are provided. Resources are extracted from a localized file of a product version associated with a target language type. The resources are compared with target content of the target language type. In one embodiment, the target content is stored in a localization database. Upon the comparison of the resources with the target content, it is recognized whether the resources match the target content.01-13-2011
