Patent number: 10579221Abstract: Novel tools for navigating among a suite of business applications, including without limitation menu systems for business application suites. In some cases, the menu is customized for a particular user of the business application suite. Hence, for example, a menu might comprise only items necessary to that user's job function and/or access level, as defined by one or more user roles that the user possesses. In another example, menu items may be provided only for actions that the user has appropriate permissions to take and/or pages that the user has appropriate permissions to view.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2016Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Adrien Lazzaro, Mark Shurtleff

Patent number: 10367697Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for a graphical network connection timeline is provided. The method comprises receiving network connection data for a client device and storing the data in a first data repository. Using the data stored in the first data repository, one or more connection time period values for the client device is calculated. Each of the connection time period values represent a time of wireless network connection of the client device to each of one or more access points. The method further comprises generating a network connection timeline that tracks a network connectivity of the client device and storing the timeline in a second data repository. The timeline comprises a frequency band indicator, a time period, and one or more markers based, at least in part, on each of the connection time period values. The network connection timeline stored in the second data repository is then displayed in a Graphical User Interface (GUI).Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2017Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Marshall, Waseem A.
