  • Patent number: 10579402
    Abstract: The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for self-learning localization services. A computer-implemented method includes: identifying, at a location remote from a first application, a request for localization of a string value associated with the first application from a source language to a target language, sending the string value to a translation request buffer in response to a determination that the localization of the string value in the target language is unavailable, and triggering, in response to satisfaction of at least one heuristic analysis, a translation process of the string value from the source language into the target language where the string value is retrieved from the translation request buffer. In some instances, the location remove from the first application is a centralized localization service accessible by remote requests from a plurality of applications.

  • Patent number: 10579589
    Abstract: A method for filtering a product transaction data file involves receiving, by a computer, a query including one or more groups of attribute conditions for filtering the product transaction data file. The attribute conditions in the query are applicable to product attribute data records split across a set of vertically split attribute data files. The method further includes determining which of the product attribute data records split across the set of vertically split attribute data files satisfy all of the one or more groups of attribute conditions in the query, identifying product keys associated with the product attribute data records that satisfy all of the one or more groups of attribute conditions in the query, and using the so-identified product keys to filter product data records in the transaction data file.

  • Patent number: 10572278
    Abstract: An application object framework provides a GUI developer with application object metadata that can be leveraged to design and implement GUI controls in an efficient, standardized, straightforward manner. For example, a smart control interface may be utilized that enables linking of a particular GUI control with a corresponding application object, including linking to the application data and logic, through the use of metadata of the corresponding application object. In this way, validations and GUI logic required by the GUI control may be provided automatically, leaving the GUI developer the freedom to focus on the visual composition, functionality, and other desired aspects of the GUI controls.

  • Patent number: 10565179
    Abstract: Addressed herein is the problem of expressing and evaluating computations on hierarchies represented as database tables. Engine support for such computations is very limited today, and so they are usually outsourced into stored procedures or client code. Structural grouping is applied to relational algebra to provide concise syntax to express a class of useful computations. Algorithms are also provided to evaluate such structural groupings efficiently by exploiting available indexing schemes. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 10565029
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for automatically integrating different software applications in a cloud platform. An embodiment operates by creating a registration entry representing an integration use-case for a first tenant of a first application in an integration discovery service. The embodiment generates a barcode based on the registration entry. The embodiment matches the integration use-case for the first tenant of the first application with a potential integration use-case for a second tenant of a second application based on the barcode. The embodiment then creates an integration configuration for enabling the integration use-case for the first tenant of the first application with the potential integration use-case for the second tenant of the second application based on the matching.

  • Patent number: 10565243
    Abstract: A transformation platform allows a common data model to provide query output to multiple types of output devices, and incorporate query responses received using multiple types of constrained user input devices, such as neural headsets, that may be used by disabled individuals. Data and software applications can employ input and output modes of a client computer device without the data or application having to be specifically formatted or programmed for the different input and output modes. The data can specify queries that include response fields having response options that are selectively, such as progressively, highlighted. A user can provide input to select a highlighted response option. For a query having multiple response fields, response options for each response field can be progressively displayed after user input is received for a current set of response options. The query responses can be stored in the data model in association with field identifiers.
