Abstract: A method for managing password strength including receiving a password on a data processing system for a user, filtering for personal information about the user from multiple independent data sources accessible across a computer network, computing the password strength by the data processing system using an algorithm which compares the password to the filtered personal information about the user, and presenting feedback to the user through a user interface on a data processing system display regarding the computed password strength.

Abstract: A system (102) for previewing changes to a structured flow diagram is provided. The system includes a user interface (110) that displays a structured flow diagram according to a predetermined visual format. The system (100) further includes a preview module (112) for generating a modified display of a portion of the structured flow diagram displayable with the user interface (110). The modified display shows a user-directed modification to the structured flow diagram by displaying the user-directed modification in a different visual format juxtaposed with portions of the structured flow diagram that remain unchanged by the user-directed modification. The modification to the structured flow diagram can thus be previewed prior to determining whether to incorporate the modification into the structured flow diagram if the system user elects to do so.

Abstract: A method and system for reformatting data. The method involves a series of steps which can include identifying a template which corresponds to a specified document. The specified document can contain formatted data. Additionally, the step of applying a template to the specified document can be extracting data from the formatted content. The step of formatting the data using a different markup language can be performed.

Abstract: A software development environment including a set of SIP tools and a set of Web tools. The SIP tools are configured to create software able to execute upon a SIP server. The Web tools are configured to create software able to execute upon a Web server. The software development environment can also include a common development interface configured to develop converged projects including objects created with the SIP tools and the Web tools able to execute upon an Application Server which supports Converged SIP/HTTP applications. The common development interface can be a graphical development interface including a development canvas and a palette including elements which are able to be added to the canvas. The elements can include at least one SIP element corresponding to one of the SIP tools and at least one Web element corresponding to one of the Web tools.

Abstract: A speech processing system for improving a user's experience with a speech-enabled system using artificially generated white noise. The system can include an audible environment that includes at least one microphone and at least one speaker, a white noise generator, a white noise removal engine, and a speech processing system. The white noise generator can be configured to generate white noise to be audibly presented in the audible environment. This white noise can be captured in speech input and the white noise removal engine can digitally preprocess the input to remove the white noise components. The preprocessed input can be processed by the speech processing system and the speech processing system can create speech output based on the received input.

Abstract: A speech processing system that performs adaptations based upon non-sound external input, such as weather input. In the system, an acoustic environment can include a microphone and speaker. The microphone/speaker can receive/produce speech input/output to/from a speech processing system. An external input processor can receive non-sound input relating to the acoustic environment and to match the received input to a related profile. A setting adjustor can automatically adjust settings of the speech processing system based upon a profile based upon input processed by the external input processor. For example, the settings can include customized noise filtering algorithms, recognition confidence thresholds, output energy levels, and/or transducer gain settings.

Abstract: A method of maintaining state information within a voice browser can include establishing a voice browser session with a client. The voice browser can be in communication with an application, wherein the voice browser and the application are remotely located from the client. State information, which corresponds to the voice browser session and application, can be received from the application. The state information can be stored as non-persistent data within the voice browser. The non-persistent data can be provided to the application to continue a transaction managed by the application.
