Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method, and program product for dynamically updating an input language of a smart physical keyboard. A local computer receives an indication that a remote session has been started, where starting the remote session includes the local computer accessing a remote computer. The local computer determines a keyboard input language for the remote session. The local computer then updates one or more keys of a smart physical keyboard to display the keyboard input language for the remote session.

Dynamically updating a smart physical keyboard

A computer-implemented method and computer program for proving a short message service (SMS) message was sent and received. The computer-implemented method includes: designating a message type for the SMS message, wherein the message type includes a normal type and a legal type; in response to designating a legal type for the SMS message, changing a header for the SMS message, wherein the header indicates that the SMS message should be stored; storing the SMS message with a trusted authority; and sending the SMS message, from a sender, to a receiver.

Short message service system

A method and systems for protecting the identification of a subscriber when a service provider transmits a subscriber request to a content provider in a distributed network environment, such as Internet. After the user sends a request to a service provider to which he has subscribed, the service provider encrypts the user identifier before transmitting this request with the encrypted user identifier to the content provider. Upon reception, the content provider uses an authentication Web Service supplied by the service provider for certifying the user identifier. If the user identifier is certified, the content provider transmits the requested content to the service provider, which formats it before sending it to the user. The content provider may charge the user through the service provider.

Personalized notifications are delivered to end users. A service provider receives, a content description from a content provider. The content description defines keywords, values attached to each keyword and a localization of values attached to each keyword in a piece of content. Each time a subscription request for a notification service related to the received content description is received from an end user, keywords values and the delivery channels selected by the user are recorded. A notification rule associated with the end user based on the selected keyword values and the localization of the selected keyword values in the content is generated. Each time a piece of content related to the content description is received from the content provider, the received piece of content is adapted to comply with the generated rules. For each rule previously generated, the values contained in the adapted piece of content are checked against the values as defined in the rule for each localization.
