International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

719316, 719330, 709219

Abstract:

A system and methodology providing service invocation for occasionally connected computing devices is described. In one embodiment, for example, in an occasionally connected computing environment, a system of the present invention for providing deferred invocation of services for a mobile device is described that comprises: an application running on a mobile device; a device-side object providing mobile support for a particular service from a server, the device-side object intercepting any requests from the application for invocation of the particular service, thereby deferring actual invocation of the particular service at that time; and a server-side object residing on the server that passes the requests on to a service provider for actual invocation while the mobile device is connected, and returns any result from the actual invocation back to the mobile device for use by the application.

International Classification:

H04B 3/36

US Classification:

3404071, 701 36

Abstract:

A system for providing information to a vehicle occupant includes a haptic control element which is provided in the vehicle and is configured to generate a haptic signal. An electronic control unit is operatively connected to the haptic control element and activates the haptic control element in order to indicate with a haptic signal that information is available for retrieval.

Michael Man Ho Mak - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

bCode Pty Limited - Sydney, NSW

International Classification:

G06K 13/24

US Classification:

235384, 235382, 2353825, 23546213, 705 5, 705 13, 340 52, 340 522, 340 525, 340 528, 4554143, 455899

Abstract:

A check-in method for airlines allows passengers to use Short Message Service (SMS) to check-in themselves and baggage. A passenger requests to check-in via SMS from practically anywhere and not limited to the airport. After receipt of the request, a confirmation message is sent back to the passenger's registered mobile phone number by SMS. The system will ask the passenger for, and receive from the passenger, the number of bags they intend to check-in for the flight. The passengers can in some embodiments drop the baggage off without any required further action. The system issues an SMS-based cryptographically secure code, such as a bar-code boarding pass to the passenger once the baggage (if any) is successfully transferred and registered to existing baggage management systems through the process above. This code, when scanned, recognized and authenticated provides identification and security clearance for the passenger to board the aircraft.

US Classification:

707705

Abstract:

Systems, methods and computer program products for inherently integrating mobility with an enterprise are described herein. Enterprise data is accessed from one or more data sources, wherein such data sources may comprise structured and unstructured data sources. The data is transferred from the enterprise to a plurality of mobile devices over a plurality of diverse networks. In an embodiment, such transfer takes into consideration characteristics of the diverse networks. The enterprise receives data generated by mobile devices while performing enterprise-related operations at the wireless edge. The enterprise responds to environmental changes using the received data.

Inventors:

Michael M. Ho - Danville CA, US

Assignee:

Sybase, Inc. - Dublin CA

International Classification:

H04Q 7/22

US Classification:

4554122

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer program products for context-based data pre-fetching and notification for applications are described herein. In an embodiment, the method operates by creating a context model that includes context variables and events. The method populates context variables based upon the context of an application and instantiates a context based upon the context model. The method determines whether the context is active or inactive and infers a likely set of data needed by the application. The method executes a data selection function to generate a dataset for the application. In an embodiment, the system includes a module to create and maintain a context model. The system includes modules to: populate context variables within the context model; calculate a dataset for the application; maintain an inference engine; subscribe to changes in the context variables; and generate notifications including a dataset with associated metadata that assists with display of the dataset.
