  • Publication number: 20240031195
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are provided herein to provide simultaneous delivery of output communications to a client device and a secondary client device are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include an apparatus including processing circuitry configured to: receive one or more electronic communications; configure the one or more electronic communications for presentation to the client device and the secondary client device based on the delivery identifier; and provide the one or more electronic communications to the client device via a wide area network to facilitate simultaneous delivery of the one or more output communications corresponding to the one or more electronic communications on the client device and the secondary client device. The one or more output communications may be provided to the secondary client device via the client device and a personal area network that is separate from the wide area network.

  • Publication number: 20230176874
    Abstract: Techniques for improved mobile application architectures and service communication protocols are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include a mobile device configured for providing a mobile application including multiple service applications. The service applications may execute asynchronously and in separate containers, providing service orientated architecture (SOA)-like services with respect to other portions of the mobile application, or even external applications. The separation of a monolithic mobile application into separate service applications provide advantages in terms of application performance, development, and maintenance. For example, a subset of all service applications may be started up, and executed on demand to improve device resource utilization efficiency.

    Abstract: A method and a system for managing a plurality of administrative files of various different categories stored in a file storage facility. Each of the files allow for amending, such as by putting therein one or more documents of various different nature. The method includes assigning a pre-structured format to each applicable file category. Each pre-structured format accommodates a set of document entries. Each of the document entries is distinguished according to a predetermined nature of the document entry. The method also includes assigning a content form to each file for listing a set of document entries in a list, and upon amending a file on account of a particular document, indicating in the list the amending by at least a presence indicator.
