Abstract: The system and method described herein provide mechanisms by which connected devices and/or internal subsets of devices can be used to implement an electronic preemptive evidentiary escrow platform. Such a platform can be used, for example, as a preemptive defensive mechanism to prevent unauthorized access to information, while permitting authorized access with a minimum of additional burden. A compound message is partitioned into public summary data and private detail media/metadata. The public summary data is made readily available, while the private data is only made available to authorized entities upon occurrence of predefined condition(s). In at least one embodiment, one or more hardware devices can be automatically reconfigured upon occurrence of predefined condition(s) to allow authorized access to private data.

Abstract: A screen reader software product feature referred to as a custom summary view, or custom summary, has been developed. The custom summary feature solves the major problem faced by blind users when working with large sets of data. That problem occurs as a result of an inefficiency of gleaning important data from within these larger sets. The custom summary provides the ability to gather such data into a summary that can be navigated easily. This ease of navigation greatly levels the playing field in the competitive workplace for blind workers and students alike. Also taught is a feature, referred to as a multiple region support, which allows users to define blocks of contiguous cells containing data as “regions” when a document such as a spreadsheet is displayed by a screen reader. Regions can either be named by the user or be defined simply by the top left and bottom right cell addresses that represent the boundaries of the block of contiguous cells containing data.

Abstract: A device location is determined, and the location of an area of interest that is a geographic area referred to as a geo-fence is identified. Multiple geo-fences can be identified by the device, and different geo-fences can be associated with different programs on the device. An operating system of the device implements multiple different periods of operation for the device, including a conservation period during which certain programs are not typically scheduled to run, and an execution period during which such programs are typically scheduled to run. A system identifies geo-fence events, which occur when the device enters or exits the geo-fence. The system maintains a record of the geo-fence events for each of multiple geo-fences, and provides to a program selected ones of those geo-fence events at a time when the program is scheduled to run on the device during an execution period of the operating system.
