Abstract: A method of software launch regression testing comprises monitoring a user engagement parameter of an existing application running on a plurality of client devices and determining a probability interval from the user engagement parameter of the existing application. A candidate update application is then launched to a subset of the plurality of client devices. The method then proceeds with monitoring a corresponding user engagement parameter of the candidate update version running on the subset of client devices, determining if the corresponding user engagement parameter of the candidate update version falls within the probability interval, and, based on the probability interval falling within the probability interval, providing a testing pass notification.

Abstract: A method of software launch regression testing comprises monitoring an operational parameter of an existing application running on a plurality of client devices and determining a probability interval from the operational parameter of the existing application. A candidate update application is then launched to a subset of the plurality of client devices. The method then proceeds with monitoring a corresponding operational parameter of the candidate update version running on the subset of client devices, determining if the corresponding operational parameter of the candidate update version falls within the probability interval, and, based on the probability interval falling within the probability interval, providing a testing pass notification.

Abstract: A dialog device comprises a natural language interfacing device (chat interface or a telephonic device), and a natural language output device (the chat interface, a display device, or a speech synthesizer outputting to the telephonic device). A computer stores natural language dialog conducted via the interfacing device and constructs a current utterance word-by-word. Each word is chosen by applying a plurality of language models to a context comprising concatenation of the stored dialog and the current utterance thus far. Each language model outputs a distribution over the words of a vocabulary. A recurrent neural network (RNN) is applied to the distributions to generate a mixture distribution. The next word is chosen using the mixture distribution. The output device outputs the current natural language utterance after it has been constructed by the computer.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable storage medium has instructions executed by a processor to collect mobile device environment parameters. Identity attributes including real identity attributes for a real individual and at least one set of synthetic identity attributes are stored. An electronic communication attempt by a designated entity corresponding to either the real identity attributes or the at least one set of synthetic identity attributes is monitored. The electronic communication attempt is analyzed in connection with the mobile device environment parameters and identity attributes to identify a rule transgression. A warning is supplied in connection with the electronic communication attempt in response to the rule transgression.

Abstract: Devices and methods for providing an interface to a computing device are disclosed herein. The disclosed embodiments allow a user to utilize a first computing device, such as a smartphone or other mobile computing device, as a mouse-like peripheral input device for an associated second computing device, such as a tablet computing device. A user can utilize the first computing device as a fully functional touchpad, movement, and/or accelerometer mouse input device. Manipulation of the first computing device is translated into mouse control inputs and movements to be displayed on the associated second computing device. The first computing device may be manipulated in order to fully control movements, gestures, and various touch inputs as well as click inputs on a display, and functionality of applications executing on the second computing device.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises an assembly and a SIM-card tray configured to move, at least partially, into and out of the assembly to thereby selectively electrically connect and disconnect a SIM card that is disposed in the SIM-card tray to and from at least one electrical connector. A biasing member automatically urges movement of the SIM-card tray with respect to at least one of moving the SIM-card tray into the assembly and out of the assembly. By one approach this biasing member comprises a spring. By one approach this spring can serve to both automatically urge movement of the SIM-card tray into the assembly and out of the assembly. These teachings will accommodate a SIM-card tray configured to accommodate a micro-SIM card. These teachings will also accommodate a personal communication device having the aforementioned components.
