A client computer is provisioned with interdependent list of web services comprising list information identifying a plurality of web services, wherein further, the list information relates information received from a first web service of the plurality of web services with a subsequently requested second web service. Results of a web service request are provided to another web service request by the client computer utilizing the relationship provided by the list information. Preferably the list information and web service messages from the client computer are XML metadata. A cooperating Generic Mobile Web Services Manager configures and forwards communication between the client and respective web services.

Configurable continuous web service invocation on pervasive device

A Generic Mobile Web Services (GMWS) manager provides mobile clients with access to Web Services. The GMWS manager provides an interface between Web Services and mobile clients (hand held PDAs for example). The GMWS manager maintains a registry of supported Web Services and metadata attributes about the Web Services and the mobile client. Information is transferred between a client and a registered web service by way of the GMWS manager based on attributes available to the GMWS manager.

Dynamic extensible lightweight access to web services for pervasive devices

A system includes at least one wireless client device, a service manager, and a plurality of voice transcription servers. The service manager includes a resource management service and a profile management service. The client device communicates the presence of a voice transcription task to the resource management service. The resource management service surveys the plurality of voice transcription servers and selects one voice transcription server based on a set of predefined criteria. The resource management service then communicated an address of the selected server to the profile management service, which then transmits a trained voice profile or default profile to the selected server. The address of the selected server is then sent to the client device, which then transmits an audio stream to the server. Finally, the selected server transcribes the audio stream to a textual format.

Method and system of enabling intelligent and lightweight speech to text transcription through distributed environment

Disclosed is a service for displaying custom information. The service includes establishing a data connection to at least one data source, storing specific information via the data connection in the data source, and providing a data crawler to crawl said at least one data source using the stored information. The results are pushed from the data crawler to an end user for displaying a combination of the stored information and the at least one data source.

System and method for a tagging service

Publishing electronic messages to clients within a group in a Pub/Sub message publishing environment wherein the group includes authorized participating clients in network communication with a pub/sub service. A client is authenticated for authority to publish messages to a selected group of subscribing clients.

Authorizing message publication to a group of subscribing clients via a publish/subscribe service

A client application program subscribing to a channel of a pub/sub service, receives a message published by the pub/sub service, the received message invoking an associated application program at the client.

Pub/sub message invoking a subscribers client application program

Presenting a Pub/Sub service GUI interface to a subscribers computer system, the GUI interface comprising one or more topics to which the subscriber can subscribe, the Pub/sub service having a list of subscribers subscribing to a topic. The GUI interface preferably comprising widgets, enabling a subscriber to manage subscriptions to topics. The Pub/Sub service publishes messages of a topic according to the subscription list.

GUI interface for subscribers to subscribe to topics of messages published by a Pub/Sub service

Electronic messages are published through a pub/sub service to subscribing clients. Client applications filter incoming messages according to user predefined criteria, only presenting messages to the user that pass filtering criteria. Messages are preferably Instant Messages transmitted in a SOAP protocol.

Interactive filtering electronic messages received from a publication/subscription service

A client subscribes to a pub/sub service, the client comprises an application program for performing an operation on a published message received from a Pub/Sub service. The operation on the message comprises any one of saving the message to storage, accessing a web service based on information in the received message, authorizing subscription, executing an application identified by the message, filtering the message information for presentation to a user, overriding a message function, transforming the message media format or forwarding the message to another node.

Performing an operation on a message received from a publish/subscribe service

A computer program capsule is created from programs that include at least one other web service program. The programs are interconnected and saved as an encapsulated program for use as an encapsulated program or a web service program. The encapsulated program is created and interconnected from a local or remote computer.

Creating web services programs from other web services programs

A framework for creating instant messaging Bots that autonomously operate within an instant messaging sessions to respond to requests from other user(s) or Bot(s). Bot operation is defined by a state machine with one or more states that are described in XML documents. These XML documents abide by the grammar of a Bot Transition Definition Language (BTDL) that is defined in an XML schema. A Bot developer creates a state transition diagram via a Graphical User Interface. The state transition diagram defines states, transitions between states, and conditions for each of those state transitions and methods to be performed upon each state transition. An XML document that conforms to BTDL format is created from the state transition definition diagram. Both stateful and stateless Bots are defined using XML documents abiding to a BTDL format. A runtime environment implements the Bots, accepts runtime inputs and generates responses.
