Abstract: A mobile device accepts a selection of a file for opening or editing or both. The file is associated with a file type. A mobile application on the mobile device identifies the file type associated with the file. A request message is constructed that is indicative of the file type and one or more user credentials. The request message is sent to a cloud server. The mobile device receives an address for a selected cloud image from the cloud server and, in response thereto, connects to a remote processing environment in the selected cloud image.

Abstract: Policy-driven administration of mobile applications includes receiving a policy defined by a client system. The policy is defined by rules configured for implementation by a scanner and a compliance definition indicative of a threshold acceptability value for output of the implementation of the scanner on a mobile application. The policy-driven administration also includes executing the scanner for the mobile application and identifying an association between a mobile device and the client system. The policy-driven administration of mobile applications further includes controlling access to the mobile application by the mobile device based on results of executing the scanner using the compliance definition.

Abstract: An image scaling service includes determining an image as a candidate for a scaling process, scanning the image for an initial text value, and scaling the image to a next lower resolution. The image scaling service also includes iteratively performing the scaling process until a threshold value of a readability metric is reached, the scaling process includes scanning the scaled image for a scaled text value, comparing a difference between the initial text value and the scaled text value, the difference indicative of the readability metric, and scaling the scaled image to a next lower resolution. In response to reaching the threshold value of the readability metric, the image scaling service further includes selecting from scaled images an image having a lowest resolution resulting from the scaling process before the threshold value of the readability metric was reached.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for synthesizing the aggregated data of disparate data types into data of a uniform data type which includes receiving aggregated data of disparate data types and translating each of the aggregated data of disparate data types into text content and markup associated with the text content. Synthesizing the aggregated data of disparate data types into data of a uniform data type may also include dynamically creating grammar sets for the text content and associating the grammar sets with the text content. Associating the grammar sets with the text content includes inserting markup in the translated data.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for associating user selected content management directives with a user selected rating. Embodiments include presenting to a user a plurality of predefined content management directives; receiving from a user an identification of a particular content management directive; receiving from a user an identification of the rating to invoke the content management directive; and storing the identification of the content management directive in association with the rating to invoke the content management directives.

Abstract: A method of verifying a user identity using a Web-based multimodal interface can include sending, to a remote computing device, a multimodal markup language document that, when rendered by the remote computing device, queries a user for a user identifier and causes audio of the user's voice to be sent to a multimodal, Web-based application. The user identifier and the audio can be received at about a same time from the client device. The audio can be compared with a voice print associated with the user identifier. The user at the remote computing device can be selectively granted access to the system according to a result obtained from the comparing step.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a system including an interface for receiving a device identifier, a user identifier, and a request for a resource from a mobile device. A database connected to the interface includes attributes of mobile devices and user profiles. The user profiles include user identifiers and lists, wherein each of the lists include at least one mobile device used by each user to access resources. The database is queried with the device identifier to identify attributes of the mobile device. A profile of a user is generated or updated based on the user identifier and the identified attributes of the mobile device. A processor connected to the database sends a recommendation to the mobile device based on the profile of the user, the attributes of the mobile device, and the resource requested. The recommendation includes a recommended mobile device or a recommended combination of mobile devices.

Abstract: A method of obtaining information using a mobile device can include receiving a request including speech data from the mobile device, and querying a network service using query information extracted from the speech data, whereby search results are received from the network service. The search results can be formatted for presentation on a display of the mobile device. The search results further can be sent, along with a voice grammar generated from the search results, to the mobile device. The mobile device then can render the search results.
