Patent application number | Description | Published |
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 |
20110307630 | 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 | 12-15-2011 |
20120143978 | ENABLING PLURAL COMPUTING DEVICES TO COMMUNICATE USING A MASTER ACCOUNT - Functionality is described that allows plural computing devices to share a master account. In one implementation, the functionality allows any candidate device to directly communicate with a communication system using the master account, providing that the candidate device satisfies a prescribed condition with respect to a master device. For example, the functionality can allow the candidate device to communicate with the communication system if it is within a threshold distance of the master device. In another implementation, the functionality instructs the master device and the candidate device to set up a tethering relationship. The functionality can then allow the candidate device to communicate with the communication system, via the master device, using the master account. In one implementation, the functionality can set up the tethering relationship without substantial (or any) involvement of the user (or users) who operate the master device and candidate device. | 06-07-2012 |
20130331067 | Automatic Profile Selection on Mobile Devices - Various embodiments pertain to techniques that utilize data obtained from various sensors and sources of information on a mobile device to determine a profile to be applied to the mobile device. Data obtained from various sensors and sources of information on the mobile device can include real-time data from hardware sensors or receivers on the mobile device, local device data, and remote data available via a wireless connection. Applying the profile to the mobile device can include adjusting various parameters, such as ringtone tune, ringtone volume, call filtering, call forwarding, and message notification. In various embodiments, data is obtained and analyzed to determine a profile category for the user. In some embodiments, different types of data can be weighted differently, and data that is more personal can have a higher relative importance when compared to data that is less personal. | 12-12-2013 |
20140278400 | Search Results Using Intonation Nuances - Systems and methods for responding to an audio query are presented. More particularly, vocalization nuances of a vocalized search query (audio query) are identified are utilized in responding to the audio query. In addition to converting the audio query to a textual representation, vocalization nuances of the audio query are identified. Search results are identified according to the textual representation of the audio query and in light of the vocalization nuances. A search results presentation is prepared in response to the audio query, where the search results presentation is based on the identified search results and also based on the vocalization nuances. The search results presentation is returned in response to the audio query. | 09-18-2014 |
