Patent number: 9354948Abstract: Techniques are described for expressing a constraint in a host language. A constraint can be defined in the host language as an event handler. The event handler can be registered to a built-in event associated with an object of the database that the constraint is intended to validate. When the object triggers the built-in event, the event handler is called to execute the constraint. Exemplary built-in events include onSave (trigger the event when the object is saved), onValidate (trigger the event when an explicit call to validate the object is detected), onInsert (trigger the event when the object is inserted), onUpdate (trigger the event when the object is updated), and onCheckBeforeSave (trigger the event when the object is checked prior to saving).Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2013Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Stefan Baeuerle, Timm Falter, Daniel Hutzel, Lior Schejter

Patent number: 9355377Abstract: Systems and method for deploying CO2 emission and financial cost optimized secured algorithms to cloud computing environments are disclosed. Algorithms are converted into a single state assignment representation that includes a combination of statements that represent sub operations of the algorithm. Runtime and power consumption cost values associated with executing the statements in the cloud are calibrated by executing the statements in a particular configuration of a cloud some number of time with multiple security protocols and then analyzing the results. CO2 emission and financial cost values are mapped to the calibrated runtime and power consumption cost values. The mapped CO2 emission and financial cost values and the calibrated runtime and power consumption cost values are used by a linear program to optimize a partitioning vector of indicators that define which security protocol will be used to execute each statement in the cloud when the algorithm is deployed.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2013Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: SAP SEInventor: Axel Schroepfer

Patent number: 9348483Abstract: A modeling system for universal specification of user interfaces. The system provides a means for defining user interfaces, including highly complex and dynamic user interfaces, in a manner that is independent of any implementation context. The modeling system leads from a user-friendly visual representation of the user interface, through progressively detailed specifications of structural and behavioral aspects of the user interface parts, until a rigorous definition of the user interface in all its contexts of use is achieved. Using the information captured in the model, tools that automatically generate the fully working user interface code can be built.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2013Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: SAP SEInventor: Yuval Gilboa

Patent number: 9348874Abstract: According to one aspect of systems and methods for dynamic recreation of multidimensional analytical data, lost sets of calculation scenarios that provide multidimensional analytical data results after aggregations and transformations of the multidimensional analytical data are recreated in the volatile storage of an in-memory computing engine. A multidimensional analytical data view (MDAV) compiler is triggered to read the MDAV metadata stored in an intermediate buffer in the MDAV compiler. The read MDAV metadata is compiled into a calculation scenario including calculation view metadata. The calculation view metadata is stored in the intermediate buffer. The recreated set of calculation scenarios is deployed on the in-memory computing engine.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2011Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Sebastian Schroetel, Ulrich Bestfleisch, Gerrit Simon Kazmaier, Nadine Sachs

Patent number: 9350625Abstract: Methods and systems of enabling service consumption based on gamification level classification are described. A request to use a first service of a service provider may be received from a user. A usage measure for the user and a first usage measure requirement for the first service of the service provider may be determined. The usage measure may be a measure of how much the user has used services of the service provider. It may be determined if the usage measure satisfies the first usage measure requirement. The user may be enabled to use the first service of the service provider in response to a determination that the usage measure satisfies the first usage measure requirement. The stored usage measure may be increased by a first amount in response to the user using the first service. The usage measure may be a level classification or a number of points.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2013Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: SAP SEInventor: Jens Odenheimer
