  • Patent number: 9942319
    Abstract: A technique is described providing offline support to business applications. Offline support allows a business application running on a portable electronic device without connectivity to a backend server to operate as though the business application has access to a backend server. The technique receives a sync request for content from the portable electronic device. A sync task is generated from the sync requests and processed to generate a package that contains the desired content. Once the package is generated, the package is stored in a package repository and a download notification is transmitted to the portable electronic device to notify the user that the package is ready. The package can in turn be delivered to the portable electronic device when a download request is received from the portable electronic device.

  • Patent number: 9936025
    Abstract: Described herein is a framework for vehicle-to-vehicle communication. In accordance with one aspect, a send message to a receiving driver of a receiving vehicle is generated from a sending end-user device in response to a user event from a sending driver. The send message may be generated to include an image of the receiving vehicle of the receiving driver, and a voice message created by the sending driver. The send message may be sent to a server using the sending end-user device. The send message may further be processed by the server, in which the processing may include identifying the receiving vehicle, searching to find information of a receiving end-user device, and sending the send message to the receiving end-user device if information of the receiving end-user device is found.

  • Patent number: 9934482
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a delivery unit comprises a plurality of objects. The delivery unit is encapsulated within a transport container for delivery to an entity for installation. As new versions of the objects are created by modifying the source code, the modified versions of objects are included in the delivery unit along with unmodified versions of the remaining objects of the delivery unit. The modified versions of the objects are marked for installation, while the unmodified versions are not marked for installation. Upon installation, the objects marked for installation are extracted from the delivery unit while the objects not marked for installation are discarded. The extracted objects are then installed, thus updating any previous versions of the objects, while unmodified objects are not installed. In one representative embodiment, objects are procedures of a database system, which may be organized hierarchically into folders.

  • Patent number: 9934324
    Abstract: A system, computer-implemented method, and computer-readable storage medium for generating a block-based index, are provided. A block index is generated where the block index comprises a plurality of blocks and a block corresponds to a section of a graph column that stores a value. A block range vector is also generated for the index where the block range vector includes range information for the block that corresponds to the section of the graph and where the block-based index facilitates traversal of the graph column that searches for the value by constraining the traversal to the section of the graph.

  • Patent number: 9928220
    Abstract: Approaches are presented for temporary highlighting of selected fields of a document. For example, a user can select which fields of a document or class of documents he wishes to have highlighted. The user can also select (a) when he wishes the selected fields to be highlighted, for example, if a field exceeds a threshold and/or (b) how he wishes the selected fields to be highlighted, e.g., overlay the field with a contrasting color. When the user performs a specified action, for example, opens a document, the selected field is selectively highlighted according to the rules for when and how to highlight the selected field. This can help a user quickly recognize important fields in the context of the document.

  • Patent number: 9928265
    Abstract: A method and system for performing at least one transaction on at least one column of a table in a database system is disclosed. The method includes determining whether a first transaction of the at least one transaction fulfills all of at least one criteria. The method further includes ensuring that the at least one column is in a shared numeric lock if the first transaction fulfills all of the at least one criteria, wherein the shared numeric lock is a lock that allows at least a second transaction fulfilling all of the at least one criteria to access the same column concurrently with the first transaction without releasing the shared numeric lock between transactions, and wherein the shared numeric lock is released only after all of the transactions fulfilling all of the criteria have completed processing. The method further includes processing the first transaction.

  • Patent number: 9922012
    Abstract: A first nonextensible schema is obtained, based on the first nonextensible schema, a compact syntax regular language for XML next generation (RNC) file. A regular language for XML next generation (RNG) file can be generated based on the RNC file. Based on the RNG file, a second (core) nonextensible schema and a first (core) extensible schema can be generated. An extensible (extension) schema and a nonextensible (extension) schema can also be generated. The extensible (extension) schema and the nonextensible (extension) schema can be plugged into the RNG file. The RNG file can be regenerated with the plugins, and a third nonextensible schema and a second extensible schema can be generated based on the regenerated RNG file. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
