Abstract: A method and system for conducting an offline session simulating an online session between a client and server in a network environment. The client imports data and functional logic from the server prior to going offline. The imported functional logic is embedded into a format or document that is capable of being interpreted and performed by the local interface at the client that is used to interact with server during an online session. Whether offline or online, the user utilizes the same local interface at the client to transmit instructions to the functional logic in order to manipulate the data. In an offline session, such instructions cause the imported and embedded functional logic to execute, thereby manipulating the data that is imported at the client. Known synchronization methods may also be used in order to maintain consistency and coherency between the imported data at the client and the database at the server.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable storage media for selectively interacting with a server to build a local dictation database for speech recognition at a device. In some implementations, a computing device receives an audio sample. The computing device may determine that the received audio sample does not match any of one or more existing audio samples stored in the local dictation database of the computing device. The received audio sample may be transmitted to a remote server for detection of one or more words indicated by the received audio sample. The computing device may receive data identifying the one or more words, and update the local dictation database to store the received audio sample in association with the one or more words.

Abstract: An encryption platform may identify language characters in database fields and determine which of multiple encoding schemes more efficiently encodes the language characters. The encryption platform may use the selected encoding scheme to encode plaintext into a byte array and then encrypt the byte array into ciphertext. The encryption platform may assign encoding flags to the ciphertext identifying the encoding scheme used for encoding the plaintext. The encryption platform then may use the encoding flag to determine which encoding schemes to use for decoding the data back into plaintext. Using the different encoding schemes allows encrypted data to fit better into database storage structures. The encryption platform also may enable users to select different fields for different selectable objects for encoding and encrypting.
