Abstract: A method, electronic device, and non-transitory computer readable medium for a mobile wallet remittance are provided. The method includes displaying, on a display, content including an object. The method also includes determining an area of an eye focus on the display, and associating the area of the eye focus with the object. The method additionally includes receiving a verbal command and deriving a command based on a detected set of lip movements. The method also includes extracting contextual information from at least one of the object associated with the eye focus, the received verbal command, or the derived command. The method also includes determining an intended command, based on the extracted contextual information and a reconciliation of the verbal command with the derived command.

Abstract: A method of operating a computer involving data structures in a set of data structures. As unloaded data structures are needed during runtime, a data structure is received from a first memory. The data structure includes one or more sets of instructions and one or more constants. Instructions from the data structure are stored in a first portion of a second memory, which comprises RAM. Constants from the data structure are stored in a second portion of the second memory if only if the respective constant has not been stored in the second portion of the second memory. Indexes in instructions that reference the constants are modified to correspond to the respective locations of the constants in the second portion of the second memory, and at least some instructions from the data structure are read and executed from the RAM.

Abstract: Method and system for global constant management. A method of operating a computer is described in which, for data structures and a set of data structures, the date structure is received from a first memory. The data structure includes one or more sets of instructions and a set of one or more constants. The data structure is stored in a second memory. If constants from the data structure have not been stored in other data structures in the second memory, other than the first data structure, then constants in the data structures are stored in data structures in second memory. The constants from the first data structure in the second memory are replaced with links to respective other data structures in the second memory. In one example system, the data structure from the first memory comprises a Java class, and the sets of instructions comprise Java methods. The constants from the data structure in the first memory may comprise a constant pool.
