A method of queue busting using a wireless computing device can include executing a portlet within a wireless computing device, wherein the portlet is configured to query for kiosk availability and receiving a request to reserve a kiosk for use by a customer from the wireless computing device. The wireless computing device can be local to the kiosk. The method further can include determining availability of the kiosk according to scheduling information for the kiosk and reserving the kiosk for use by the customer for a period of time according to the step of determining availability of the kiosk. A message, which specifies reservation information, can be sent to the wireless computing device or a representative scheduled to communicate with the customer through the kiosk. A characteristic of the kiosk can be automatically configured and a communication session with the kiosk can be established.

A method to facilitate programming of multimodal access. The method can include receiving a user input request to voice-enable at least one graphical user interface (GUI) component defined in visual markup code, receiving a user input selecting at least one voice component, and a user input specifying a selected grammar syntax. Responsive to the user inputs, voice markup code corresponding to the selected voice component can be automatically generated and the voice markup code can be automatically linked to the GUI component.

A method of providing reminders to facilitate a business transaction can include first identifying a personal representative of a business entity, wherein the personal representative is associated with the transaction, second determining a current availability of the personal representative according to context information for the personal representative, monitoring the transaction involving a customer and the business entity and determining whether the transaction is complete. If the transaction is not complete within a predetermined amount of time, the method can include automatically notifying the customer on behalf of the personal representative. If the transaction is not complete within an additional amount of time, the method can include automatically notifying the personal representative over a selected communication channel to contact the customer. Determining a current availability can include accessing a calendar system corresponding to the personal representative to determine whether a scheduling conflict exists.

A method of performance testing for software applications can include storing, in a network accessible location, options corresponding to functions for use in performance test cases and sending to a computer system an electronic document specifying at least one of the plurality of options. The computer system can be remotely located from the network accessible location. The method further can include receiving, from the computer system, input selecting at least one option from the electronic document and automatically generating a performance test case using functions corresponding to the selected option(s). The options can be selected through a Web-based shopping cart and/or system interface thereby easing the process of test case generation.
摘要:
A system and method of conducting commercial activities such as an auction in a rather localized area (such as a shopping mall). Potential consumers located in the local area have a mobile wireless communications device (for example, a smart cellular phone or a 2-way radio or a Bluetooth communication device) including a set of stored instructions allowing the device to be programmed with a set of desired transactions and preferences such as the brands or transaction types which the consumer prefers. Merchants are connected to receive a communication from the communications device and respond to the desired transaction and preferences by proposing goods or services at specific terms such as price. The mobile wireless communications device associated with the potential consumer has the potential to receive communications from merchants (either directly or through an intermediate system) and to transmit a communication back to the merchant indicating the potential offer so that a merchant can revise or improve the offer. In this way, local merchants can be aware of the offers that a consumer receives and can improve on those offers to secure the potential consumer's business. While the actual transaction may be conducted in person at the merchant, one can envision a system where the transaction is completed through the wireless communication system with the payment occurring through charge or other electronic transaction and the delivery of the goods or service through conventional delivery channels.

A method of monitoring queues in real time can include building a master list specifying available queues, wherein each queue within the master list is associated with a user, and registering each queue specified by the master list with an instant messaging system. The method further can include sending, to a client, a secondary list of queues associated with a particular user and selected from the master list. The secondary list can be formatted as an instant messaging contact list. A presence on the instant messaging system can be established for each queue specified by the secondary list. The method also can include obtaining queue information for queues specified by the master list and making the queue information, for queues specified by the secondary list, available to the client via the instant messaging system.
摘要:
A method of detecting inefficient use of virtual memory by an application that is programmed using memory pointers. The method can include selecting a first heap from a list of tracked heaps and identifying allocated memory blocks within the first heap. A first total can be determined as a sum of sizes of the identified memory blocks. A second total can be determined as a sum of unallocated, NULL-filled bytes within the first heap that are not located outside outermost memory block addresses in each range of committed memory in the first heap. A ratio of the first total and the second total can be determined, and a memory profile corresponding to the ratio can be generated. A memory profile suggestion also can be generated.

A method of verifying a speech input can include determining pronunciation data for a received user spoken utterance specifying a word and speech recognizing further user spoken utterances specifying individual characters of the word. An N-best list can be generated for each received user spoken utterance specifying a character. A grammar can be automatically generated that includes word candidates using the N-best list for each user spoken utterance specifying a character. Pronunciation data for each word in the grammar can be generated automatically. The pronunciation data from the user spoken utterance specifying the word can be compared with pronunciation data for the word candidates of the grammar to determine at least one match.
摘要:
A method of modifying an existing standard-based system can include automatically identifying at least one message of the standard-based system at runtime. A constraint can be associated with a selected message of the standard-based system at runtime. The constraint can be one that is not a specifiable option within the standard-based system. The method also can include intercepting the selected message and applying the constraint to the selected message.
摘要:
A method of intra-block memory usage analysis for a program can include identifying a memory block that has been allocated to the program and determining at least one intra-memory block usage characteristic for the allocated memory block.
