  • Patent number: 9442638
    Abstract: A device may be configured to display a first item in a region of a user interface based on a first value of an index that is associated with the first item. Sensor data may be received from a sensor indicating an angular change of orientation of the device. The index may be incremented to a second value based on the sensor data. The second value may be associated with a second item. The second item may then be displayed in the region of the user interface based on the index being incremented to the second value.

  • Patent number: 8868830
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for providing value help. In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include receiving, at a code list provider, a request from a user interface for code list value help; determining, based on the request, whether to access at least one of a cache and a secondary storage; accessing, by the code list provider, a cache including at least a first code list, the cache implemented in memory, when the determination results in access to the cache; accessing a secondary storage including at least a second code list, when the determination results in access to the secondary storage; and sending, by the code list provider, at least one of the first code list and the second code list to a user interface to enable the user interface to provide code list value help. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 8863097
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for providing code list extensibility includes providing a first code data type representation. The first code data type representation corresponding to a first code data type and having a first code value representation for at least one code value. The at least one code value associated with a corresponding code value issuing entity. The method may also include providing a second code data type representation. The second code data type representation corresponding to the first code data type and having a second code value representation for the at least one code value. The second code value representation including a unique identifier associated with the code value issuing entity. The method also may include mapping the first code data type representation and the second code data type representation based at least in part on the unique identifier associated with the code value issuing entity.

  • Publication number: 20070271107
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided context-dependent value help information for business objects. In one exemplary embodiment, there is provided a method for providing context-dependent value help information. The method may include receiving a call at a first service provider to instantiate a first business object. The method may also include calling a second service provider when the first service provider determines that a context-dependent value help information is required. Moreover, the method may include receiving a call at the second service provider to instantiate a second business object to provide the determined context-dependent value help information. The method may further include calling, by the second service provider, the first service provider to provide the determined context-dependent value help information. The method may also include receiving, at the first service provider, the determined context-dependent value help information.
