Abstract: A device is arranged to comprise a communication interface (20) to transmit data over the cellular network (60) to a destination device (65). The device further has a security module (25) providing one or more security domains (32), each security domain used to host a profile facilitating access by the device to the cellular network. At least one security domain hosts a profile that stores secret data and provides a token generation application to generate a token using at least the secret data. The device then outputs the token in association with the transmitted data, enabling the destination device to perform authentication of the transmitted data by invoking an authentication service (85) that also stores the secret data (50). Such an approach provides a particularly cost effective and robust mechanism for providing a highly trusted authentication of data transmitted over a cellular network.

Abstract: User interface information related to relevant events of interest is provided. Events can occur anywhere in a document, and may or may not be relevant to a user utilizing an assistive technology (AT) application, such as a screen reader. A provider-side signaling system component determines whether raised events are relevant to the user. In some examples, when an application makes a plurality of attribute changes in a document at once, the signaling provider batches the related events as a single transaction, and generates a generalized annotation describing the changes. The signaling provider further packages the event notification, and sends the event notification to a client-side signaling system component. The signaling client receives the notification, and determines whether to alert the user of the event(s) based on verbosity settings. The AT application is enabled to interpret the event notification and alert the user in a meaningful way.

Abstract: A commanding interface can provide an efficient computer interface for users of assistive technology by focusing on the tasks that an application can perform, rather than on the interface the application exposes. The commanding interface can provide a search mechanism that searches for and presents functions or functionality in response and dynamically updates results as the search query is entered. Additionally, the commanding interface can prioritize search results based on contextual data, including prior search terms, prior actions, and the context of the user's interaction with the application program. The commanding interface can enable the user to filter the functions and functionality presented through the commanding interface according to types of user-performed activities for which such functions would be utilized, patterns, or heuristically determined associations.
