  • Patent number: 9852167
    Abstract: A method and system for efficient allocation of numbers in a non-contiguous list using gap values are disclosed. A server system receives a request for one or more numbers. The server system loads an original list of previously allocated numbers into an indexed data structure. The server system generates gap values for the original list of previously allocated numbers in the indexed data structure. The server system uses the original list of previously allocated numbers as an initial current number list and determines whether there are one or more available numbers between a lowest number in the current number list and a highest number in the current number list based on the gap value. The server system then transmits one or more identified available numbers to the requesting system.

  • Patent number: 9846730
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods and computer systems for providing user-friendly and understandable presentations of Open Data (OData) Protocol resources through an automatic translation and modification process. The present disclosure provides a user interface tool for presenting and browsing OData fees that can provide a visualization of an OData feed structure to users in an otherwise unavailable format. In particular, developers can view and modify resources outside of the underlying format in which such OData feeds are traditionally presented. The user interface tool can provide an out-of-box user interface with which a developer can view and modify resources associated with a feed, browse related entity sets, set filters, and perform other operations. In essence, the user interface tool can decrease user's efforts and difficult in understanding particular OData feeds and the entities associated therewith.

  • Patent number: 9842011
    Abstract: A target application loads target application's user interface (UI) after an initial preoperational task is completed. A task for visualizing a progress status for the target application is delegated to a source application that is used for launching the target application in a new window. The source application creates a shared object and assigns a unique identifier (ID) to the shared object. The unique ID of the shared object is passed to the target application, when the target application is launched from the source application. The shared object is accessed by the target application during the performance of the initial preoperational task. The target application stores progress status of the initial preoperational task in the shared object. The source application monitors the progress status stored in the shared object and presents it continuously on source application's user interface.

  • Patent number: 9842221
    Abstract: Particular embodiments provide a system that analyzes and optimizes roles and authorizations for users of a customer. The system determines which executables have been used by users in the system over a certain time period. Thereafter, the system analyzes and optimizes authorizations within the assigned roles for the users. The authorizations for the roles assigned to the user are then analyzed. The vendor roles typically have redundant authorizations, some of which may be used and some not used. The system can then generate a new customer role for the user with the used authorizations combined into the new role. For example, the authorizations used by the user are combined into the new customer role. This reduces the number of roles the user has assigned to him/her, and also the number of authorizations. Also, the new customer role may be added to other users with the same role at the customer.
