A method and system for transmitting a voice message to an electronic address, generally includes establishing a data connection between a first server of a voice messaging system and a wireless device so as to enable a user to access an electronic mail account. The first server then captures a wireless device identifier and accesses an association of the wireless device identifier to a telephone number of the wireless device. A call is then initiated from the wireless device to a second server of the voice messaging system to record a voice message. The previously stored recipient electronic address is retrieved using the captured telephone number and an email including a link to the voice message is generated. The email is then transmitted to the recipient electronic address.

The need for backup and restore arises in a mobile device based system when a client application is discarded along with its historical record. In a system that provides the backup and restore capability, a server is configured with a request handler, an application storage upload/download handler, and a device storage mirror database. In a mobile device (also client), the transaction listener provides a transaction associated with memory items to the crumb sticker which, in turn, sends to the request handler a recording request with the transaction along with a request URL (uniform resource locator). The data for the recording request is channeled from the client storage to the device storage mirror database via the application storage upload/download handler. The memory items are accumulated in a file at the client and in a backup at the device storage mirror database, and are restorable to the client from the backup.

The need for upload security arises during content sharing between users in communication link with each other and a server. In one embodiment, providing the upload security involves the server identifying a mobile device that sends an upload message destined to a user. Providing the upload security further involves the server accessing opt-in parameters predetermined by the user, determining if the identity of the sending mobile device is included in the opt-in parameters, and, if so, allowing the upload to the user's account, otherwise blocking the upload. The opt-in parameters include the identity of mobile devices that are authorized by the user to upload data to the user's account. In one embodiment, the communication link includes a wireless carrier network with capability for security screening of the upload message before it reaches the server based on the identity of the wireless carrier network.

A wireless system includes a plurality of mobile devices equipped with a touch-activated ‘back’ command input, button or soft key, that prompts backwards navigation. The system further includes a carrier network, a network including at least the Internet, and a server. The plurality of mobile devices are interconnected with the server via the carrier network and the network and are capable of communicating with each other via the server. One or more than one mobile devices has a touch-activated ‘back’ command input and a memory with sufficient space for receiving a mobile client application from the server, wherein the mobile client application is responsive to the touch-activated ‘back’ command input by providing the backwards navigation through screens in ‘back in sequence’ mode or ‘back a level’ mode.

The system further includes a carrier network, a network including the Internet, and a server. The plurality of mobile devices are interconnected with the server via the carrier network and the network and are capable of communicating with each other via the server. One or more than one mobile devices has, in addition to the ‘back’ command input, a memory for receiving a mobile client application from the server. The mobile client application is responsive to the ‘back’ command input by providing for the backwards navigation through screens in ‘back in sequence’ mode and ‘back a level’ mode. The ‘back’ logic that provides the backwards navigation is implemented in the mobile client application outside the browser environment and independent of the platform.

Methods, systems, and devices for data access and processing are described. To set up secure environments for data processing (e.g., including machine learning), an access control system may first receive approval from an authorized user (e.g., an approver) granting access to data objects in a multi-tenant data store. The system may determine tenant-specific paths for retrieving the data objects from the data store, and may initialize a number of virtual computing engines for accessing the data. Each computing engine may be tenant-specific based on the path(s) used by that computing engine, and each may include an access role defining the data objects or data object types accessible by that computing engine. By accessing the requested data objects according to the tenant-specific path prefixes and access roles, the virtual computing engines may securely maintain separate environments for different tenants and may only allow user access to approved tenant data.
