Abstract: A system for handling event input between disparate platforms includes a memory containing instructions executable by the processor whereby the system is operable to recognize an event associated with a first platform, the event having semantic content, translate the event into a form recognizable by a second platform, and communicate the event in the translated form to the second platform.

Abstract: Methods for the intelligent rendering of information in a limited display environment are provided. Display environments, especially in mobile devices; are limited with regard to physical space and technical capability. The present invention provides for the scaling of information in the display in light of those limitations. Additional methods for intelligently determining information to be or not to be displayed in the environment are further provided. Determinations of information to be displayed may be a result of a user-determination or automatic determinations made by a user device. Zooming and ‘quick look’ features are also provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods of optimizing network transaction traffic originating at a mobile device are provided. The systems and methods includes identifying network transaction parameters corresponding to an application and utilizing the network transaction parameters to execute a network transaction in advance of an expected schedule or after a delay to optimize the network transaction traffic.

Abstract: A method and related system are provided. The method includes processing one or more inputs by a computing device that are received from one or more input sources to determine a command that corresponds to the one or more inputs and exposing the command to one or more controls that are implemented as software that is executed on the computing device and that have subscribed to the command.

Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing keepalives or other non-interactive or background traffic from applications on a mobile device are disclosed. A keepalive optimizer can detect keepalive and other background traffic and optimize such traffic by blocking keepalives, advancing or delaying execution of keepalives, delaying repeatable background requests based on radio state, device state or characteristics, policy, transaction characteristics, application characteristics, and/or the like. The disclosed keepalive optimization methods facilitate management of traffic and/or conservation of resources on the mobile device and the network. The keepalive optimization can be performed by an application sending the keepalives or by a local proxy on the mobile device.

Abstract: According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a method for signaling optimization in a wireless network utilizing proprietary and non-proprietary protocols. A first connection is established between an application on a mobile device and a local proxy on the mobile device, a second connection is established between the local proxy and a proxy server not located on the mobile device, and a third connection is established between the proxy server and a content server. A byte stream between client and server is communicated between the client and the server via the first, second, and third connections. The mobile device performs signaling optimization to optimize traffic over the second connection.

Abstract: A system, method and non-transitory computer code for operating a proxy server operating under software to cause the proxy server to access a communication network and to delay, advance or block keep-alives for a client device to improve traffic data flow.

Abstract: A system for traversing between nodes within a user interface receives a directional command from a user. The directional command is a command to move a focus away from a current node. The system also determines a next node to move the focus onto. The determining the next node is based on the relative positioning between the current node and the other nodes. The determining the next node is based on previous movements of the focus that were performed prior to moving the focus onto the current node. The system also performs movement of the focus from the current node onto the next node.

Abstract: Detection of network transactions or keepalives for maintaining long lived connections are disclosed. A keepalive detector can detect keepalive traffic based on keepalive parameters determined from an analysis of socket level network communication log data that record data transfer events including data sent from mobile applications or clients on a mobile device and data received by the mobile applications or clients on the mobile device, timing characteristics, protocol types, etc. Various statistical analyses can be performed on the network communication data to detect keepalives, taking into account variability in intervals of the data transfer events and sizes of data sent and received on each event. The keepalive detector can also detect keepalives from stream data on a mobile device by analyzing socket level communication messages including timing characteristics and amount of data transferred to detect keepalives and report keepalives using a data structure.

Abstract: Some examples provide systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products for providing a market platform. The market platform may operate to inform buyers and suppliers, to allow buyers and suppliers to select products and contracting parameters to meet their needs, to allow buyers and suppliers to commit to supply agreements, and to enforce those supply agreements. These examples may provide such an integrated system by receiving buyer spend data, receiving contract offers from one or more suppliers based on the spend data, allowing the buyer to select one or more of the contract offers, and monitoring spend data to ensure compliance with the selected contract offer. The system may include dynamic pricing models, altering the price of the purchased products based on compliance with the selected contract offer. The system may also allow for various contracting models for managing the pricing of products based on the contractual terms agreed to by the buyer and supplier.
