Each prompt of the plurality of user prompts has a corresponding language representation and wherein generating the earcon for the selected user prompts includes generating the corresponding language representation through the user interface.

An automated name searching system incorporates an automatic name classifier and a multi-path architecture in which different algorithms are applied based on cultural identity of the query name. The name classifier operates with a preemptive list, analysis of morphological elements, length, and linguistic rules. A name regularizer produces a character based computational representation of the name. A pronunciation equivalent representation such as an IPA language representation, and language specific rules to generate name searching keys, are used in a first pass to eliminate database entries which are obviously not matches for the query name. The methods can also be implemented as a callable set of library routines including an intelligent preprocessor and a name evaluator that produces a score comparing a query name and database name, based on a variety of user-adjustable parameters. The user-controlled parameters permit tuning of the search methodologies for specific custom applications.

Techniques for sharing data with other application programs are disclosed. The techniques allow data sharing between different application programs on a computer system. For instance, a second application program can access data provided by a first application program without needing the first application program to be operating or executing on the computer system. In one embodiment, an application operates to publish its data for external use by other application programs. The data is, for example, database data maintained by the application program. The data can be published for external use by producing a data communication file that contains at least a portion of the data. In one implementation, the data communication file contains the data being published for external use in a markup language representation. The techniques are particularly well suited for application programs that utilize databases to store media information pertaining to media items. The media information can include properties of the media items as well as links to storage locations for corresponding media content files that store the media content. The media content is, for example, one or more of audio, images or video.

A query runtime architecture and an exemplary application programming interface suitable for the architecture are presented. The architecture inputs one or more XML queries and views and enables the queries to be translated wherein the queries and views may be run over multiple data sources of different data models. The architecture incorporates front-end compilers which convert input queries and views into an intermediate language representation which represents the meaning of the respective query or view. The architecture may then allow the back-end compiling of the intermediate language representation to target languages compatible with the data sources desired to be queried. The architecture also allows the execution of those target compilations to extract the data requested of the queries. The invention also discloses an example application programming interface for the query runtime system.

An optimizer / normalizer is used to generate optimized intermediate language representation of an input query, such as an XML input query. A method of optimization of an input query in intermediate language form includes receiving the input query, examining the nodes in a left-depth first manner to identify code patterns and node types which are subjects for optimization, tagging the identified code patterns until the intermediate language representation of the input query has been examined in its entirety, searching from the top of the intermediate language representation for tagged code patterns, and adjusting the tagged code patterns with improved code patterns to form an optimal representation for an input query. The input to the optimizer / normalizer is assumed to be an input query transformed into an intermediate language representation containing code patterns and nodes, each node having a respective node type.

A data representation language representation of the state of a process executing on a client or service in a distributed computing environment may be created. The representation may include a computation state of the device and / or virtual machine on which the process is executing, wherein the computation state of the device and / or virtual machine comprises information about the execution state of the process on the device and / or virtual machine.

The present invention is a sentence realization system that processes an abstract linguistic representation (ALR) of a sentence into a structure that can be fully realizable. The system includes a tree conversion component that receives the ALR and generates a basic syntax tree from the ALR. A global movement component then receives the basic syntax tree and hierarchically orders child nodes in that syntax tree relative to ancestor nodes. An intra-constituent ordering component then establishes a linear order among the nodes such that the syntax tree is fully ordered. A surface cleanup component receives the fully ordered tree and performs a number of realization operations to generate surface realizations for constituents that are still represented in an abstract way in the fully ordered syntax tree.

An optimizing compiler and method thereof performs a sequence of optimizing changes to an intermediate language representation of a routine, and measures an execution characteristic of each optimization, such as a timing of the machine language representation performed on an architecture similar to the target machine using a user selectable initialization state. The sequence of optimizations is selected according to a criterion that includes a lexicographic search and other methods. The pre-optimized code is also broken into segments wherein discrete optimizations are performed on each segment and measured using a user provided routine. The target routine is tested with the object code in main memory if not the cache if possible and optimizations are chosen only if they improve the target subroutine according to the user defined metric. After a stopping criterion is achieved, the most optimized code is selected.

Middleware is validated using a two layered modeling strategy for the generation of test suites. A high level model of the syntax of the programming language used to program the middleware generates a series of high level abstract programs. These high level abstract programs then undergo two separate translations. First they are translated directly into actual test programs, which are expressed in the programming language of the middleware. Second, they are translated into second models of the high level abstract programs. Running the model based test generator again on the second models produces a set of suites of test cases, each test case consisting of data inputs and predicted results for one of the actual test programs. The actual test programs are run repetitively using the middleware execution engine. The results are compared with the predicted results, using a generic validation engine.

A device stores one or more compression rules for an action language. Upon receipt of a signal from a tag (such as an RFID tag, a visual tag, or an audio tag), a compressed data stream corresponding to the tag is decoded from the signal. Based on the one or more compression rules, one or more action parameters are derived from the compressed data stream. With these parameters, a corresponding action is performed. The action may include communicating across a wireless communications network as well as obtaining content from a remote content provider. Also the action may include storing data, such as a contact entry, or a calendar event.
