  • Patent number: 9367870
    Abstract: A consumer user can perform a number of augmented reality shopping operations using a local client shopping application executable on a mobile device. Features related to implementations of the current subject matter can include, but are not limited to, the ability to view an augmented reality depiction of a shopping display using the mobile device and to execute various “e-commerce” functions accessible via the augmented reality depiction. Visual image processing based on one or more inputs from sensors on the mobile device can be used to compute and efficiently provide the two dimensional projection of the three dimensional model to be presented on the screen of the mobile device. Related methods, systems, articles of manufacture, and the like are described.

  • Publication number: 20160132497
    Abstract: In a data protection compliant version control system, a change committed by a user in a version is stored. A cryptographic hash value generated based on a set of parameters corresponding to the user and the version is computed. The cryptographic hash value along with the change committed by the user is stored. The cryptographic hash value is associated with the change committed by the user by a redirection pointer. The redirection pointer is deleted to disassociate the change committed by the user from the cryptographic hash value, thereby disassociating the change committed by the user from the user. The change committed by the user is displayed in a user interface associated with the version control system.

  • Patent number: 9335832
    Abstract: In an embodiment, the user input and a corresponding user input pattern is received on a computer generated user interface (UI). Based upon the user input pattern, a probable succeeding user input is predicted, and a network repository is queried to determine a system action corresponding to the probable succeeding user input. The system action may be an action that is estimated to be processed based upon the user input. This system action is processed to determine associated metadata, which is persisted in a UI buffer associated with the UI. A correlation between the succeeding user input and the predicted probable succeeding user input is determined; and based upon the correlation the metadata is retrieved from the UI buffer for execution.

  • Patent number: 9201912
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for the auditable abrogation of columnar in-memory databases. An embodiment operates by retrieving column-oriented data of a column-oriented database associated with an auditing request to access the column-oriented data. The column-oriented data is transformed into corresponding row-oriented data and stored in a row-oriented database independent of the column-oriented database. A response to the auditing request is processed based on the row-oriented data, wherein the processing is performed independent of the column-oriented database, and the response is provided to the auditing request.

  • Patent number: 9164752
    Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for proposing training based on the prediction or measurement of different metrics associated with a transport request. In one aspect there is provided a method that may include preparing a transport request including one or more objects configured to provide an update of an application. The transport request may be associated with one or more metrics, each metric having a metric value. The method may also include determining whether the transport request includes at least one error by at least evaluating the metric value for each of the one or more metrics and comparing the metric value for each of the metrics with a threshold value; and proposing, based on the determining, at least one training course when the transport request includes the at least one error. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 8806422
    Abstract: Local dependency metadata can be collected from local metadata repositories of a plurality of development systems in a layered development system landscape, and a global where-used list that includes intra-layer and inter-layer dependencies between development entities in a layered development system landscape can be created, for example by aggregating the collected local dependency data. A usage metric quantifying how frequently each development entity is depended upon by other development entities in the layered development system landscape can be assigned to each development entity in the layered development system landscape. A measure of a relative effect of a change to one of the development entities on other development entities in the layered development system landscape can be promoted.
