  • Patent number: 7533146
    Abstract: A shared web browser for simultaneously linking together a plurality of remote locations to deliver live presentations to anyone, anywhere in the world. The web browser can be used either by itself, or in conjunction with a conventional telephone conference call. A personal computer at each location is linked together by means of an Internet connection, wherein one of those computers controls the information displayed on each of the other computers; this is the presenter's function. Each of the other users or participants are referred to as attendees, and the presenter directs information to be displayed on the monitors of all the participants in the conference. The shared web browser of the present invention works within conventional Internet browsers, eliminating the need for the purchase of or training in the use of expensive video conferencing equipment.

  • Patent number: 7461076
    Abstract: A method of defining a well-formed database system by defining the organization of the data in the database, and by defining the operations for that data, is described. The definition can be used to automatically create and populate the well-formed database system. The well-formed database system conforms to rules of correctness and produces results that conform to the rules. The organization is defined by a data organization definition that specifies tables, their columns, and the relationships between tables. The operations define procedures that operate on the tables and the table columns. Importantly, the operations are defined along with the tables, columns, and relationships, so that the resulting system is well-formed.

Also, each next step link is associated with one or more information nuggets. One of the activities is selected, and an information nugget of the selected activity is displayed in a first region of the graphical user interface. A next step link associated with the displayed information nugget is displayed in a second region of the graphical user interface.

  • Patent number: 6169985
    Abstract: A method of defining in a computer system a subset of entries in a database is described. The subset is defined by a query. The method includes displaying an interface having a number of criteria description locations. The criteria description locations being positioned in rows where each row has one or more columns. The method also includes creating a criteria description in the interface. The criteria description corresponds to criteria, where the criteria define a corresponding subset of the database. Importantly, the relative location of the criteria description in the user interface determines how the criteria contribute to the selectivity of the query.

  • Patent number: 6161103
    Abstract: A method for automatically defining aggregates for use in a datamart is described. The datamart includes fact and dimension tables. The method comprises accessing a schema description and an aggregates description for the datamart. The schema description specifies a schema, which in turn, defines the relationships between the fact tables and dimension tables of the datamart. The aggregates description specifies the aggregates, which define, from the schema definition, which aggregate tables are to be created from the fact tables and dimension tables in the datamart. The data in the aggregates correspond to the pre-computed results of specific types of queries. In response to a query, the aggregates can be searched to determine an appropriate aggregate to use in response to that query. The schema description is used to create a first set of commands to create and populate the fact and dimension tables.
