A method, apparatus, client and server are directed at providing a simplified scheme to deliver email messages that include text message body, and / or MIME attachments from desktop computing devices to messaging (such as SMS) and wireless internet capable phones. A web form is provided for users to compose messages and / or adding MIME attachments from their PC. Also provided in the form are input fields for users to enter device numbers for recipients. Upon submitting the form, message body and MIME attachments are uploaded and stored on the server. An email WAP page that contains the message body and the links to all the MIME attachments is created dynamically and stored on the server. The server then queries a service database and looks up a domain routing table to build the email like messaging addresses for recipients. The server sends a notification message with an embedded link to the email like messaging addresses. The link, such as a URL, a script, an executable, a program, and the like, pointing to the email WAP page, can be invoked from mobile devices. When the link is invoked on the mobile device, it sends a request to the server for the email WAP page. Upon receiving the request from the mobile device, the server collects the information about the mobile device; queries a device database for formats, display and capabilities; locates and loads the email WAP page; converts the MIME attachments to the formats supported by the mobile device; formats the email WAP page for display on the mobile device; delivers the formatted email WAP page to the mobile device. The email WAP page can be viewed, downloaded, and played on the mobile device. The scheme of the present invention supports a device number based authentication. The scheme of the present invention can also be implemented to deliver email messages to multiple mobile devices. The scheme of the present invention can expand the PC to SMS capabilities by enabling text messaging with arbitrary message length.

A system previously cloned with an operating system and a collection of applications has personal configuration data customized for the user receiving the system by a configuration tool. When the configuration tool is used in an interactive mode, a dialog displays the existing configuration and allows the installer or user to modify and save it. When the configuration tool is used in a non-interactive mode, that is, for migration, the machine configuration information is obtained from or put to an operating system independent configuration data file without using the configuration dialog. In interactive mode, a user dialog is displayed with the list of all the supported applications that are found to be installed on the system. Selecting one of the listed applications brings up an application dialog including input fields for each of the configuration items for that application. Configuration data can be imported from or exported to the configuration data file 160. This allows an installer to export from an old system and import into the new one when hardware is being upgraded. Also, the import and export feature is used to automate configuration and information gathering.

A microbrowser in a mobile telephone or other hand-held mobile device generates a Graphical User Interface (GUI) having features that make the device more user-friendly. In one mode, the GUI includes a softkey indicator indicating a corresponding softkey action and an input field for receiving a user-input character string, such as a telephone number. In response to typing in the input field, a softkey action previously associated with the input field, such as a dial action, is automatically selected, and the softkey indicator is automatically changed to indicate the selected action. In another mode, the GUI displays an input field and a menu listing performable actions. In response to a user input representing a single action by the user and designating one of the performable actions, the designated action is selected and the input field is activated, enabling the user to input characters associated with the designated action.

A tool for assisting end-users to comply with complex sales tax compliance requirements by electronically preparing a tax return by dynamically creating and providing to each end-user a first data input page having input fields relating only to types and categories of tax for which each end-user's line of business is required to report while suppressing presentation to the end-user data fields which are related to tax types which are not required to be reported or collected for the end-user's line of business. Using the streamlined input page, the end-user only provides the relevant data values and avoids seeing or worrying about irrelevant input values. The tool then electronically prepares one or more tax return forms or data files, and optionally submits those to an electronic server corresponding to the tax authority for the appropriate jurisdiction(s) or produces a paper return.

The user authentication credentials received from the client are verified by the server and the electronic document is digitally signed by the server on the basis of the verification of the user authentication credentials.

A method and apparatus to align and edit chunks of text and translation. Language learners compare segments of text and translation. Both text and translation are segmented into word groups or “chunks” and related to each other. The related chunks are aligned to facilitate their comparison. For a reader, unfamiliar chunks can be related to more familiar chunks. Constant alignment of text and translation chunks occurs in many variable outputs, including bifocal formats and directly editable alignments. Thus, human edits and improvements input into the system can inform improving machine chunk translation. Both text and translation are editable within one single document, manageable in a wide variety of text editing environments, including common Textarea Input fields. Resulting chunk translations are easily printed on paper and / or displayed electronically. Language learners using the system may include humans and machines. Productions of aligned texts are customized for individual language learners.

A method and system for applying input mode bias is disclosed. A schema is applied to an input field of an electronic document. The schema is associated with a grammar that defines the set of acceptable strings that may be input into the input field. When text is input into the input field, the schema is determined and the associated grammar is determined. The grammar is then sent to the input method. Based on the grammar, the input method may determine what text the user is trying to enter. The grammar may also be used to apply semantic categories to text input into a document. After the text is entered it is compared to a grammar. If the entered text matches the form of the grammar, then the schema is applied to the text as a semantic category.
