A method and system for presenting a promotional offer based on detected data. Data that is generated by at least one device detecting one or more physical actions performed by a person is obtained. The device is located in a same physical environment as the person. The data is analyzed to determine that a probability of an undesired action, by the person, is above a threshold value. Responsive to determining that the probability of the undesired action is above the threshold value, a promotional offer is presented to the person. The promotional offer lowers the probability of the undesired action by the person.

Method and system for presenting a promotional offer based on detected data

A system and method for facilitating automatic control of devices, such as network-coupled home appliances. An example method includes receiving and storing data available from plural devices, resulting in stored data; determining a pattern in the stored data; using the pattern to generate one or more control signals; and forwarding the one or more control signals to one or more of the plural devices to selectively control one or more device features or behaviors consistent with the pattern. In a more specific embodiment, the method further includes collecting a first set of data from one or more devices; obtaining a second set of data from a server coupled to a network; analyzing the first set of data and the second set of data to determine one or more predictive control signals; and employing the one or more control signals to adjust one or more behaviors of the one or more devices.

A native application built for a mobile device can embed non-native JAVA code that may be executed by a JAVA virtual machine also embedded as a library within the native application. Enterprise applications may be extended for use by mobile devices. Business logic for an application may be constructed just once and then used in both enterprise applications and mobile device applications.

A database system of a mobile device that includes an on-device database service is provided. The on-device database service accepts a connection request from an application, and receives a database command from the application. The on-device database service translates the database command into a structured query language command, and transmits the structured query language command to an embedded database. After a database operation is performed by the embedded database, the on-device database service receives a result of the structured query language command that is transmitted from the embedded database, and the on-device database service transmits the result to the application.

Methods and systems for platform-independent selective ahead-of-time compilation are herein described. A method selector comprising a profiling tool and heuristic selects a subset of methods for ahead-of-time compilation. The profiling tool ranks a set of methods according to predetermined criteria, and the heuristic identifies the subset of methods from the set of methods. An ahead-of-time compiler comprises a first unit and a second unit. The first unit converts, for each selected method, bytecodes corresponding to the selected method to a platform-independent intermediate representation. The second unit optimizes the platform-independent intermediate representation of each selected method, wherein each optimized intermediate representation is stored with a corresponding selected method. A virtual machine on a device converts an optimized intermediate representation associated with a selected method loaded onto the device to platform-dependent machine code.

Platform-independent selective ahead-of-time compilation

One embodiment of the invention provides a method for processing actuator, sensor or radio frequency identification (RFID) tag data. The method includes receiving actuator, sensor or RFID tag data and generating a Java object associated with the actuator, sensor or RFID tag data. The Java object includes an assigned destination address. The method further includes forwarding the Java object to the assigned destination address.

Method and apparatus for processing data using objects

Methods, software and data structures for installing a component in a container suitable for display on a display screen as part of a graphical user interface are disclosed. In one embodiment, a name and desired location for a component are provided. Both the desired component and a component object table that is to be associated with the component are then created. The component object table is arranged to identify both the location and identity of the component. The component object table is then referenced in a container lookup table arranged to associate the component object table with a container at the desired location. In a preferred embodiment, the container is a sliding panel associated with a window suitable for display on the monitor. The sliding panel is capable of supporting a plurality of handles that act as independent sub-containers. The component object table includes a location identifier that identifies an edge of the window that the sliding panel is associated with, and a handle index indicative of a particular handle within the sliding panel.
