Abstract: Methods for operating a communications-enabled application, controlling a secure profile via an operating system, and operating a cellular network are provided. Operating a communications-enable application includes detecting a need for data transmission when the mobile device has a communications status which is incompatible with the need and sending a request to activate a secure profile. Controlling the secure profile includes receiving a request from an application to have data session access via a secure profile and activating a data session utilising a secure profile. Operating the cellular network includes receiving a request to establish a cellular network data communications session from a mobile device including the communications-enabled application and establishing a data session with the mobile device using the secure profile. A mobile device and cellular network for performing the methods are also provided.

Each of the first plurality of IMSIs includes a first predetermined value for at least the first portion of each respective IMSI and each of the second plurality of IMSIs includes a second, different, predetermined value for at least the first portion of each respective IMSI. The selection operation comprises a first and second preconfigured selection characteristic. A network access element, host device, and network node, according to the method, are also described.

Abstract: Systems and methods for item price assignment. A line recommendation engine receives unassigned records from a queue and stores one or more line recommendations for the unassigned item record in a recommendation database. The line recommendation engine can determine a new line should be recommended, and/or which existing lines the unassigned item record could be assigned to. A user interface can display the one or more line recommendations for the unassigned item record to a user and receive an input indicating a selected line identifier for the unassigned item record. A machine learning engine can modify a parameter of the line recommendation engine based on the selected line identifier.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure track and monitor automated system events, user-initiated events, and outcomes associated with system events and user-initiated events for providing real-time or near real-time measurements and insights. According to examples, a system is provided that is operative or configured to collect specific events and associated data associated with events that occur within various systems and products. The data is captured, aggregated, and stored in in-memory data storage. Accordingly, the data can be represented and displayed in a dashboard interface in real-time or near real-time. Accordingly, inefficient polling, long-running queries, and scheduled tasks can be eliminated.

Abstract: Dynamically determining an optimum connectivity path is provided. Default paths to connectivity sources associated with a payer may be determined and ranked based on various metrics, such as availability, content, and cost. When a connection to a primary connectivity source is determined to be down or unresponsive, a request may automatically be routed to a next connectivity source, wherein the next connectivity source is determined to be a next highest ranking connectivity source based on the various metrics. Data associated with availability, content, cost, and other attributes may be collected, stored in a database, and utilized to rank connectivity sources. Accordingly, as new information about a payer or connectivity source is discovered, default paths and rankings of connectivity sources may change.

Abstract: Identification of data discrepancies in patient encounter information and automatic resolution of identified data discrepancies without user intervention is provided. The touchless processing system identifies data discrepancies between patient encounter information and one or more transaction processing outcomes, determines which data discrepancies can be resolved without user intervention, automatically resolves the identified data discrepancies according to a set of rules, and posts relevant information associated with the data discrepancy resolution to a healthcare provider information system.

Abstract: A self-service terminal (12) forming part of a SST network is provided with an infra-red port (30) enabling digital data interchange to take place between the SST (12) and a portable electronic digital device (20 or 90) having a corresponding matching port (82 or 92) which is presented to the SST (12). The portable device (20 or 90) may be any device having an electronic digital data memory. Examples include PDAs (20), digital cameras (90) and cellular mobile phones. The SST network is connected to the Internet thus enabling data interchange to take place between the portable device (20 or 90) and any Internet address. Thus the SST (12) can be used to interchange data between a customer's PDA (20) and his home computer (16).

Abstract: A method for forming a pixel (20) having a predetermined density onto a sensitized recording medium moving in a length direction energizes a pixel exposure source (14) to begin exposure at the leading edge (34) of a pixel (20) and for a first predetermined time interval. The pixel exposure source (14) is de-energized for a period depending on the predetermined density and on media transport speed, then re-energized at the termination of the period. The pixel exposure source (14) is then de-energized at the end of a second predetermined time interval to terminate exposure at the trailing edge (36) of the pixel (20), whereby spatial dimensions of each pixel (20) are maintained at variable transport speed or density of pixel (20).

Abstract: A method and system for manipulating content displayed on a display screen is disclosed. A data processing device has two attached user input controls, such as touch pads, joysticks, and the like. One of the controls may be used for panning (i.e. scrolling up and down and/or left and right) content on the display screen, while the other control may simultaneously be used for zooming in and zooming out of content as it is displayed on the display screen. The zoom and pan increment levels may be smooth or stepped, depending on a user preference, to aid in navigation of the content displayed on the display screen.
