Abstract: Data is prepared for processing in a data processing system using format information. Data is received that includes records that have values for fields over an input device or port. A target record format for processing the data is determined. Multiple records are analyzed according to validation tests to determine whether the data matches candidate record formats. Each candidate record format specifies a format for each field, and each validation test corresponds to at least one candidate record format. In response to receiving results of the validation tests, the target record format is associated with the data based on at least one of: a candidate record format for which at least a partial match was determined according to at least one validation test, a parsed record format selected according to a data type associated with the data, and a constructed record format generated from an analysis of data characteristics.

Abstract: A method for supporting communication between a client and a server includes receiving a first message from a client. The method also includes creating an object in response to the first message. The method also includes sending a response to the first message to the client. The method also includes receiving changes to the object from a server. The method also includes storing the changes to the object. The method also includes receiving a second message from the client. The method also includes sending the stored changes to the client with a response to the second message.

Abstract: An action position is manipulated in computer-implemented speech recognition by receiving data representing a spoken command. The command includes a command identifier (e.g., insert before, insert after, resume with) and a designation of at least one previously-spoken word. Speech recognition is performed on the data to identify the command identifier and the designation. Finally, an action position is established relative to the previously-spoken word based on the command identifier. Text may be selected using a spoken selection command that includes a command identifier and a text block identifier identifying a block of previously-recognized text. At least one word included in the block of text is not included in the text block identifier.
