Abstract: An approach for retrieving and storing telephone numbers along with related contextual information associated with inbound/outbound communications to/from a device. The approach includes a method that includes combining, by at least one processing device, identification information of an entity and a related communication mechanism used to initiate a communication to a device. The method further includes providing, by the at least one processing device, a soft record that includes the identification information and the related communication mechanism.

Abstract: A method and system. A first computer device determines one or more candidate character keys based at least on previous data entries of a form field in a web page received by the first computer device from a second computer device displaying a virtual keyboard with character keys displayed on a display screen in the second computer device. The first computer device removes one or more matching character keys from the one or more candidate character keys that match the displayed character keys in the virtual keyboard. The first computer device determines one or more supplement character keys of a supplemental keyboard based on character keys of the one or more candidate character keys that remain after the matching character keys have been removed from the one or more candidate character keys. The first computer device communicates the one or more supplement character keys to the second computer device.

Abstract: A method and system for relaying a sensor communication to a central monitoring system by utilizing a crowdsourcing model. The method includes: obtaining a registered device through crowdsourcing; registering the registered device into a central monitoring system; configuring the registered device to communicate with a plurality of road management sensors and with the central monitoring system; monitoring and gathering location information of the registered device by the central monitoring system; transmitting, via the central monitoring system, a request to gather a sensor communication from a sensor to the registered device; executing the request, via the registered device, by capturing the sensor communication emitted from the sensor, wherein the sensor communication is emitted using a passive radio-frequency identification tag; and relaying at least a part of the sensor communication from the registered device to the central monitoring system.

Abstract: An audio media visualization method and system. The method includes receiving by a computing processor, mood description data describing different human emotions/moods. The computer processor an audio file comprising audio data and generates a mood descriptor file comprising portions of the audio data associated with specified descriptions of the mood description data. The computer processor receives a mood tag library file comprising mood tags mapped to animated and/or still objects representing various emotions/moods and associates each animated and/or still object with an associated description. The computer processor synchronizes the animated and/or still objects with the portions of said audio data and presents the animated and/or still objects synchronized with the portions of said audio data.

Abstract: A method and system. A first computer device receives a selection of a form field in a web page from a second computer device that is displaying a virtual keyboard on a display screen in the second computer device. The first and second computer devices are different computer devices. The first computer device determines one or more candidate character keys. The first computer device removes one or more matching character keys from the one or more candidate character keys that match keys in the virtual keyboard. The first computer device determines one or more supplement character keys. The first computer device communicates the one or more supplement character keys to the second computer device. The first computer device causes the second computer device to simultaneously display, on the display screen in the second computer device, the virtual keyboard and the one or more supplement character keys.

Abstract: Supplementing a virtual input keyboard is provided. A form and a virtual input keyboard are displayed in a display of a data processing system. An input is received selecting a particular field within the form. One or more character key sets are retrieved corresponding to previous data entries of the particular field selected. A delta set of character keys is determined based on character keys in the one or more character key sets that do not match displayed character keys on the virtual input keyboard. A set of delta character supplemental virtual input keyboards is generated based on the delta set of character keys. Then, the set of delta character supplemental virtual input keyboards are displayed in the display.
