Patent number: 8713477Abstract: Presenting links to a user includes: (i) identifying at least one of several work center screens to be made available to a user on a screen. Each work center screen is customizable and contains role-specific information associated with a topic in an enterprise resource computing system. (ii): for each identified work center screen, any screen of a particular type to which the user can directly navigate from the work center screen is identified. (iii): the screen includes: (A) for each identified work center screen, a first link providing navigation to the corresponding work center screen, and (B) for each first link, a second link to each screen of the particular type identified for the corresponding work center screen, providing navigation to the identified screen without visiting the work center screen, the second link displayed to indicate an association with the first link.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2006Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Sandra Bicker, Iris Nieder, Annett Hardt, Ingo Deck, Erik Oster, Till Brinkmann, Boris Bierbaum, Martin Dauer, Theo Held, Martin Schrepp

Patent number: 8533584Abstract: A context control interface may include a context name field that is arranged and configured to identify a working context, one or more attribute name fields that are configured to identify one or more attributes that define the working context and one or more attribute value fields that are arranged and configured to correspond to the attribute name fields and to define one or more values for the attribute name fields. The attribute name fields and the corresponding attribute value fields may be mapped to a first set of fields in a first application and may be mapped to second set of fields in a second application and the attributes and the values populate the first set of fields and the second set of fields such that the working context is persistent across the first application and the second application, where the first application differs from the second application.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2008Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Kerstin Dittmar, Carsten Fuchs, Bernhard Teltscher, Ingo Deck, Susann Stieler, Martin Schrepp, Annett Hardt, Theo Held, Dietrich Mayer-Ullmann, Nadine Beigel, Hena Mau, Martin Wegmann, Stefan Kirchfeld, Edward Palmer

Patent number: 8091037Abstract: A request is received to display a first object in a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computer system containing several objects having more than one type, some of the several objects being associated with each other. An operation mode setting is accessed. In response to the request, an overview screen is displayed including a first GUI component presenting attributes of the first object, and at least one second GUI component, presenting information from at least a second one of the several objects associated with the first object, and configured to operate in (i) an auto load mode for automatically loading and presenting the information upon display, and (ii) a deferred load mode where the information is loaded and presented upon the user activating the second GUI component. The second GUI component uses one of the auto load mode and the deferred load mode based on the operation mode setting.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2006Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Sandra Bicker, Iris Nieder, Annett Hardt, Ingo Deck, Erik Oster, Till Brinkmann, Boris Bierbaum, Martin Dauer, Theo Held, Martin Schrepp

Patent number: 7840601Abstract: In a computing system, a communication that includes contents retrieved from a data repository and configured to be organized in a table is received from a second device. The received contents are displayed in the table on a user interface. The table includes multiple rows, one of which is configured to remain empty while the table is displayed to indicate a possibility of adding a new row to the table. While the table is displayed, a user input that indicates the empty row and is configured to trigger the new row to be added to the table is received. The new row is added to the table without first communicating with the second device regarding the addition. The new row is configured so that new contents entered into the new row are to be added to the data repository in a subsequent communication to the second device.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2007Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Sandra Bicker, Iris Nieder, Annett Hardt, Ingo Deck, Erik Oster, Till Brinkmann, Boris Bierbaum, Martin Dauer, Theo Held, Martin Schrepp

Patent number: 7814428Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) includes a details area containing first detail information for a first object instance. The first object instance is part of a hierarchy that includes several object instances of more than one object. The first detail information is presented using at least one GUI component associated with the first object instance. Included in the details area is a hierarchy GUI component that presents at least a portion of the hierarchy including the first object instance, and providing for user selection of any of the several object instances in the hierarchy. The details area is updated to instead contain second detail information that is for a second object instance selected using the hierarchy GUI component and that is presented using at least one GUI component associated with the second object instance. The details area can include GUI components associated with any of the several object instances.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2007Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Sandra Bicker, Iris Nieder, Annett Hardt, Ingo Deck, Erik Oster, Till Brinkmann, Boris Bierbaum, Martin Dauer, Theo Held, Martin Schrepp, Kerstin Dittmar

Publication number: 20100162158Abstract: Described herein is a method, providing a user of a graphical user interface (GUI) with a plurality of selectable values, suitable for an input of a text field in the GUI. Each time the user enters a character in the text field, a background search is performed and the plurality of selectable values is reduced to the matching values only. In case the selectable values consist of multiple words, the background search matches the input to each of the consisting words. If the user does not enter a character in the text field, the method displays a plurality of selectable values when the user performs a double-click over the text field or uses backspace key while the text field is selected. If there is no user context defined, the displayed plurality of selectable values consists of a predefined number of last recently used values in the text field. If the user is working in a context, the displayed plurality of selectable values consists of a predefined number of previously entered context specific values.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2008Publication date: June 24, 2010Inventors: Kerstin Dittmar, Nadine Beigel, Ingo Deck, Annett Hardt, Theo Held, Dietrich Mayer-Ullmann, Martin Schrepp

Publication number: 20070264956Abstract: In an enterprise resource computing system, an indication that an event has occurred may be received, where the event is associated with an application of the enterprise resource computing system. After receiving the indication, one of several priority classifications may be assigned to the event. Each of the priority classifications may correspond to a distinct level of significance to a user. A system message that includes an indicator of the priority classification may be generated, and one of a plurality of message display areas in a graphical user interface of the enterprise resource computing system may be selected for displaying the system message. Each of the message display areas may have a predefined location in the graphical user interface; the selection of the message display area may be based on the priority classification; and the system message may be displayed in the selected message display area.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2006Publication date: November 15, 2007Inventors: Sandra Bicker, Iris Nieder, Annett Hardt, Ingo Deck, Erik Oster, Till Brinkmann, Boris Bierbaum, Martin Dauer, Theo Held, Martin Schrepp
