A decryption module is enabled on one or more authorized devices. A user's financial account information is encrypted using a card verification number, or some secret known to the user and replicated onto the authorized devices. The user requests processing of a financial transaction using the previously-encrypted financial account information. The authorized device retrieves the encrypted financial account information and prompts the user to enter the card verification number (or other secret known to the user that was used to encrypt the financial account information). The decryption module decrypts the financial account information using the card verification number entered by the user, and the decrypted financial account information resembles a valid credit card or debit card number and will pass a Luhn test. The decrypted financial account information is transmitted to process the financial transaction initiated by the user.

Encrypting financial account numbers such that every decryption attempt results in valid account numbers

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may include instructions stored thereon. When executed, the instructions may cause a portable computing device to prompt a user to activate a data saving feature based on a previous user having activated the data saving feature. The instructions may be configured to cause the portable computing device to accept login credentials from a first user, activate the data saving feature in response to input from the first user during a session associated with the first user, log the first user out, after logging the first user out, accept login credentials from a second user, and based on activating the data saving feature during the session associated with the first user, prompt the second user to activate the data saving feature during a session associated with the second user.

Reducing data use in limited data environment

A system and method for operating an electronic computing device that is capable of invoking a battery saver mode may monitor an amount of power remaining in a battery of the electronic computing device, and generate an alert when the remaining amount of power in the battery available for continued operation of the device is at or below a predetermined threshold. The alert may include a notification of the estimated power remaining and an option to enable the battery saver mode. The alert may include a notification of the estimated power remaining and that battery saver mode has been enabled, and an option to disable the battery saver mode. The alert may include a notification of the estimated power remaining, and an option to customize the parameters of the battery saver mode by adjusting operation of various features and applications of the device.

Energy saving mode for electronic devices

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may include instructions stored thereon. When executed, the instructions may cause a portable computing device to activate a data saving feature in response to determining that the portable computing device is in a limited data environment. The instructions may be configured to cause the portable computing device to at least determine that the portable computing device is in the limited data environment, and based on the determining that the portable computing device is in the limited data environment, prompt a user to activate the data saving feature.

Providing state information to a server includes accessing a document object model (DOM) for a web application, the DOM corresponding to a tree structure which represents a first state of the web application. An indication of the first state of the web application is provided to a server based on the DOM. A determination is made that a predetermined event has occurred at the system, the predetermined event indicating that a second state of the web application, different than the first state of the web application, is to be provided to the server. In response to the determination, an indication of the second state of the web application, corresponding to an updated version of the DOM, is provided to the server.

Resuming session states

A client device requests, from a particular server, a document for presentation in a browser associated with the client device, and receives the document. The client device calculates one or more connection performance values for the document and determines whether the one or more connection performance values are below a threshold value. The client device sends, to another server, a request for another document, for presentation in the browser, where the request for the other document includes an indication of whether the one or more connection performance values are below the threshold value. The client device receives a first version of the other document when the connection performance is below the threshold value and receives a second version of the other document when the connection performance is greater than or equal to the threshold value, where the first version includes less rich content than the second version.
