  • Publication number: 20250037122
    Abstract: A computing platform may be installed with software technology for generating anonymized test check data that configures the computing platform to: (i) determine a set of possible code paths encoded within a software application associated with check processing; (ii) based on the determined set of possible code paths and a set of electronic check records for individual checks, determine a subset of electronic check records from the set of electronic check records to be used for testing the software application; and (iii) anonymize the subset of electronic check records to be used for testing the software application by, for each respective electronic check record in the subset of electronic check records, modifying the respective electronic check record and thereby producing a respective anonymized check record for the respective electronic check record.

  • Publication number: 20080018493
    Abstract: The illustrative embodiments provide a method, system, computer program product, and computer implemented method for sending telemetric information to a plurality of vehicles. A second vehicle receives the telemetric information from a first vehicle that indicates a vehicle status, wherein the vehicle status indicates an intent to change movement of the first vehicle by a user of the first vehicle. The second vehicle processes the telemetric information from the first vehicle. The second vehicle then forwards the telemetric information from the first vehicle to a set plurality of vehicles to form forwarded telemetric information.

  • Publication number: 20080005735
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for monitoring and routing status messages to another process running on the same or a different computing system during the installation of one or more applications are provided. With the apparatus and method, one or more objects can monitor the progress, log events, status message, etc., generated during an installation, silent or otherwise, of one or more products. Monitoring includes a Status Listener object and a Status Producer object for the installation application. The Status Producer object obtains status messages, progress indications, and log events from a vendor supplied installation program. The Status Producer object then forwards these messages to registered Status Listeners that implement the Status Listener interface. The Status Listeners then forward these messages to their associated external processes which may be located on the same or a remotely located computing system.

  • Publication number: 20070276898
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for deploying web services in a web services infrastructure are provided. with the apparatus and method, a deployment descriptor for a web service is retrieved from a configuration file. A location type in the deployment descriptor is provided for identifying whether the web service is implemented using a web services description language (WSDL) document only, a JavaBean only, or both a WSDL document and a JavaBean. Based on the location type, and associated attributes of the location type, processes are performed for generating an internal definition of the web service to thereby deploy the web service in the web services infrastructure. The internal definition may be generated from the WSDL document directly, if the location type is WSDL only. If the location type is JavaBean only, the internal definition may be generated by first generating a WSDL document from the JavaBean and then generating the internal definition from the generated WSDL document.

  • Publication number: 20070265754
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, a computer program product and a data processing system for adjusting cargo space within a vehicle is provided. An identity tag for an item is scanned using a reader and transmitted to a vehicle, where it is received. Dimension information for the item is retrieved. A determination is made as to whether the items will fit in the cargo space of the vehicle. In response to a determination that the item will fit into the cargo space of the vehicle, the best fit for the item is calculated. Seats within the vehicle are reconfigured to accommodate the item within the cargo space.

  • Publication number: 20070262880
    Abstract: The illustrative embodiments provide a method, a system, a computer program code, and a computer implemented method for sending events between vehicles. A vehicle detects an event, wherein the event is for a user action that indicates an intent to change movement of the vehicle. The vehicle determines whether the event should be sent to another vehicle. If the event should be sent to another vehicle, then the vehicle sends the event to the another vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20070197257
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for detecting when a wireless device is entering a quiet zone. An out-of-range condition is created in an entryway to a quiet zone. When a wireless device is in a transition zone, the device transmits a re-scan message with a unit identification in an attempt to reestablish communication with the communication tower. A re-scan receiver is provided in the entryway to receive re-scan messages and notify a mobile telephone switching office that the device is entering a quiet zone. The switching office then sends a ring type modifier property to the device when the device leaves the transition zone and reestablishes communications with the communication tower.

  • Publication number: 20070073832
    Abstract: A method and system for accessing and retrieving information stored on a network adapter. In an exemplary embodiment, the method includes sending a request by a first system to a network adapter disposed within a second system. The first system includes network capabilities. Further, the first system and second system are communicatively coupled via a network. The request is processed by the network adapter disposed with the second system and network adapter memory is accessed to retrieve the information in accordance with the request. Finally, a response in accordance with the request is sent by the network adapter to the first system.

  • Publication number: 20050288044
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and apparatus for invoking web services on handheld or mobile devices is disclosed. In one embodiment, Mobile Data Service is used to push a SOAP envelope to a handheld device in the form of a message. In another embodiment, a requesting application server generates a key in addition to the SOAP envelope for the request. The handheld device is sent a message via Short Message Service (SMS) containing the key, and the mobile device uses the key to retrieve or “pull” the SOAP envelope for the request. In yet another embodiment, SOAP envelopes are transmitted as raw data to a handheld device on a particular designated TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) port. In this case, the handheld device recognizes that it has received a SOAP envelope by virtue of the fact that the data was received on the designated port.
