Patent number: 10986045Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a single point of interaction for communicating with a first agent and a second agent. An embodiment operates by a server sending a preliminary request for a preliminary response to the first agent and the second agent and, based on the preliminary request, receiving the preliminary response from the first agent. Thereafter, the server determines that the first agent is a preferred agent based on the preliminary response and maintains a line of communication to the preferred agent. The server then sends a follow-up request for a follow-up response different from the preliminary request to the preferred agent over the line of communication and receives the follow-up response from the preferred agent over the line of communication.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2019Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Stefan Kirchfeld, Sean Doyle, Martin Steiner, Matthias Kruse

Patent number: 10534635Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for managing completion of a task. An embodiment operates by receiving a selection of a collection configured to complete the task. The embodiment determines a context indicator for analyzing an application object in the selected collection. The embodiment processes the application object in based on the context indicator to generate information for completing the task. Another embodiment operates by receiving a selection of a collection configured to complete a task. The embodiment then determines that completion of the task requires solving a situation defined by a situation definition. The embodiment then identifies an anchor application object in the selected collection based on the situation definition. The embodiment then generates related information and a set of actions for solving the situation based on the anchor application object and the situation definition.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2016Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Florian Jann, Matthias Kruse, Martin Steiner, Stefan Kirchfeld, Michael Krenkler, Kai Richter, Annette Jann, Emil Voutta, Maria Cabahug, Ioannis Grammatikakis, Tzanko Stefanov, Dirk Wodtke

Patent number: 10503821Abstract: A workflow assistant can provide for improved memory aids and workflow management. The workflow assistant can retrieve context information from a base application to facilitate the creation of memory aids and workflow management items. Textual analysis can be applied to user input to determine data elements, data objects, assistant items, and collections that may be relevant to a memory or workflow aid. The workflow assistant can suggest actions for a user to take, such as based on text analysis of user input or the contents of a collection. Technical features such as a context analyzer that retrieves information from the base application for access by the workflow assistant can make the workflow assistant more dynamic and reduce the user interaction needed to create or modify a memory or workflow aid.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2016Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Frank Brunswig, Swarnava Chatterjee, Gayathri D, Rachel Ebner, Niels Hebling, Joerg Goeppert, Ioannis Grammatikakis, Christina Hall, Klaus Herter, Steffen Huester, Florian Jann, Matthias Kruse, Hergen Siefken, Martin Steiner

Patent number: 10288130Abstract: An expandable piston assembly for a clutch pack includes an apply piston, a stator, a rotor, and at least one side cover fixed to the stator. The stator is fixed to the apply piston and includes a first arcuate segment and a first radial protrusion extending from the first arcuate segment and including a distal end. The rotor is axially aligned with and rotatable relative to the stator. The rotor includes a second arcuate segment extending proximate the first radial protrusion distal end and a second radial protrusion extending from the second arcuate segment and including a distal end proximate the first arcuate segment.

Patent number: 8528390Abstract: The invention proposes a method for metering a reagent, in which the reagent is sprayed into a spray tube (12) via an electrically activated metering valve (24), and is mixed in the spray tube (12) with compressed air, and in which the reagent mixed with compressed air is introduced by means of the spray tube (12) into an exhaust gas duct (10) and is atomized, and a device for carrying out the method. The procedure according to the invention is distinguished in that the duration of the metering valve activation signal (34) is corrected depending on the differential pressure between the hydraulic pressure (p_Rea_hyd) of the reagent in the metering valve (24) and the pneumatic pressure (p_D_pneu) in the spray tube (12). The procedure according to the invention permits a high degree of accuracy in the metering of the reagent.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2011Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Dirk Von Meduna, Matthias Kruse, Matthias Burger, Franz-Josef Trompeter, Markus Buerglin

Patent number: 7979296Abstract: Work items are collected from one or more work item providers for presentation to a workflow participant. A work item provider is typically a workflow management system (“WFMS”), but other providers of work items might exist that generate work items and may or may not have their own local worklist. Multiple independent WFMS's of multiple types might provide work items to a universal worklist (“UWL”) service that integrates the work items from all of the providers. Additional integration might be provided between the UWL and work item providers, such as for controlling work item execution with a sub-workflow through an ad-hoc workflow engine. Additional integration provides for custom attributes. Each work item has a type that is used to determine handling for that work item. A universal work list service includes storage for work items, wherein a work item represents a task generated as part of a process flow.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2004Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Matthias Kruse, Nicolai Jordt, Dirk Wodtke

Publication number: 20110154226Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for providing an extensible plug-in architecture for enterprise mashup applications. One process includes operations for receiving a chip definition associated with a chip instance to be instantiated. The new chip instance is instantiated, with the chip instance being associated with a portion of user interface (UI) content. At least one extension is determined to be associated with the chip instance based on the received chip definition. The chip instance is provided access to at least one method associated with an implementation of the at least one extension. Further, communication between the chip instance and a runtime environment through the implemented methods of the at least one extension is enabled.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2009Publication date: June 23, 2011Applicant: SAP AGInventors: Jochen Guertler, Hermann Burgmeier, Matthias Kruse, Lior Bar-On

Patent number: 7885847Abstract: In a structured workflow system, a configurable workflow engine provides mechanisms for executing and scheduling the work items in a defined way. End users use their discretion and define their own “local” processes and “local” rules for processing work items, or deviate from predefined processes. The configurable workflow engine might be installed at a server to organize workflows and business processes where end users can define processing steps for incoming work items by setting up rules and defining workflows as part of a local workflow structure. By defining these rules and workflows, the further processing steps of future incoming work items can be automated. When an administrator directs the workflow engine to move from a current phase to a next phase, the workflow engine deals with the incomplete items by allowing the administrator to carry over work items (or might do it automatically). End-user consultation might be included in the carry-over decisions.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2004Date of Patent: February 8, 2011Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Dirk Wodtke, Nicolai Jordt, Matthias Kruse
