The process can include accessing a user interface including a listing of files representing a plurality of files where at least a first portion of the plurality of files are stored in a local memory of the computing device and a second portion of the plurality of files are stored in the storage system. | 11-07-2013 |
20140122423 | UNIFIED FILE SEARCH - The unified file search may be performed by a user device. The user device includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes code segments that when executed by the processor cause the processor to generate a search parameter; generate a first search metadata based on data stored in the memory and the search parameter, the first search metadata representing the data stored in the memory; generate a search request based on the search parameter; transmit the search request to at least one associated remote data storage resource; receive a second search metadata from the at least one associated remote data storage resource, the second search metadata representing data stored in the at least one associated remote data storage resource; and generate a unified search metadata including the first search metadata and the second search metadata. | 05-01-2014 |
20150295901 | AUTO-USER REGISTRATION AND UNLOCKING OF A COMPUTING DEVICE - A computing device provides an indication that the computing device accepts dynamic user registration of user accounts over a wireless connection. A wireless mobile device automatically connects to the computing device, establishes an encrypted connection, and receives, over the encrypted connection, and passes an encrypted account token over the encrypted connection to the computing device, all without physical interaction with the computing device. The computing device automatically contacts a remote account server to retrieve a user account associated with the account token and registers the user account with the device. | 10-15-2015 |

20160055838 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONVERTING TEXTUAL MESSAGES TO MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS - A method for converting textual messages to musical messages comprising receiving a text input and receiving a musical input selection. The method includes analyzing the text input to determine text characteristics and analyzing a musical input corresponding to the musical input selection to determine musical characteristics. Based on the text characteristic and the musical characteristic, the method includes correlating the text input with the musical input to generate a synthesizer input, and sending the synthesizer input to a voice synthesizer. The method includes receiving a vocal rendering of the text input from the voice synthesizer, generating a musical message from the vocal rendering and the musical input, and outputting the musical message. | 02-25-2016 |

20080215331 | ENABLING SPEECH WITHIN A MULTIMODAL PROGRAM USING MARKUP - A method for speech enabling an application can include the step of specifying a speech input within a speech-enabled markup. The speech-enabled markup can also specify an application operation that is to be executed responsive to the detection of the speech input. After the speech input has been defined within the speech-enabled markup, the application can be instantiated. The specified speech input can then be detected and the application operation can be responsively executed in accordance with the specified speech-enabled markup. | 09-04-2008 |
20100049521 | SELECTIVE ENABLEMENT OF SPEECH RECOGNITION GRAMMARS - A method for processing speech audio in a network connected client device can include selecting a speech grammar for use in a speech recognition system in the network connected client device; characterizing the selected speech grammar; and, based on the characterization, determining whether to process the speech grammar locally in the network connected client device, or remotely in a speech server in the network. In one aspect of the invention, the selecting step can include establishing a communications session with a speech server; and, querying the speech server for a speech grammar over the established communications session. Additionally, the selecting step can further include registering the speech grammar in the speech recognition system. | 02-25-2010 |
