  • Patent number: 9665702
    Abstract: In embodiments of restricted execution modes, a mobile device can display a device lock screen on an integrated display device, and transition from the device lock screen to display a shared space user interface of a shared space. The transition to display the shared space user interface is without receiving a PIN code entered on the device lock screen. The mobile device implements a restricted execution service that is implemented to activate a restricted execution mode of the mobile device, and restrict access of a device application to device content while the restricted execution mode is activated. The restricted execution service can also allow a shared device application that is included in the shared space access to the device content while the restricted execution mode is activated.

  • Patent number: 9230076
    Abstract: In embodiments of mobile device child share, a mobile device can display a default device lock screen on an integrated display device, and receive an input effective to transition from the default device lock screen to display a child lock screen without receiving a PIN code entered on the default device lock screen. The mobile device can receive a second input effective to transition from the child lock screen to display a child space. The mobile device implements a device share service that activates a child share mode of the mobile device, and restricts functionality of device applications and access to device content based on designated restriction limits.

  • Publication number: 20110300901
    Abstract: Various embodiments enable a device to utilize environmental state information and/or application state information to determine an appropriate response to received input. In at least some embodiments, a device receives input, obtains environmental information and/or application state information of the device, and evaluates input validity. Based upon the evaluated information and input, the device can behave in a manner that ignores the input, allows execution of associated operations, and or modifies the resultant behavior.

  • Patent number: 7593949
    Abstract: Various embodiments are disclosed relating to a compression of documents. According to an example embodiment, a document may be compressed by replacing one or more language constructs in the document with a language-based replacement code. In addition, the document may be compressed by replacing one or more text strings in the document with a schema-based replacement code.

  • Patent number: 7581177
    Abstract: An upgrade module is used to convert arbitrary XML documents into a form compatible with the processing expectations of a particular processing mechanism. In one implementation, the upgrade module can be used to convert XML documents pertaining to an earlier version of the processing mechanism to a form compatible with a later version of the processing mechanism. The processing mechanism can pertain to a solution module that transforms an input XML document into an electronic form. The upgrade module can be automatically generated when a user makes changes to the electronic form in a manner that affects the schema of the electronic form, or which affects other aspects of the electronic form. The upgrade module can be implemented as an Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) file.
