Patent number: 11295273Abstract: Techniques are described for providing normalized object exposure in a collaborative platform. Implementations provide a collaborative platform to enable multiple users to collaborate to address an issue collectively. The platform enables a user to create a work routine in which objects may be added and manipulated by multiple users. The objects may be normalized through use of a normalized object contract. Tools may be added to the work routine, and linked to objects to apply functionality to the object data of the objects. The tools may also comply with the normalized object contract to be consumable within the platform. Through the contract, objects may exhibit a shared common state such that multiple users and/or processes access the same state for a particular object at any given time in a work routine.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2016Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Dave Schikora, Ole Lilienthal, Michael Burwig, Pit Humke, Leif Jensen-Pistorius, Peer Hilgers, Martin Wezowski, Thomas Spangemacher

Publication number: 20220103545Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer media for securing software applications are provided herein. Through an enhanced authentication token, an application session request can be deceptively authenticated. When a malicious session request is detected, an enhanced authentication token can be generated that appears to successfully authenticate the session but contains information indicating that the session is malicious. The attacker believes that the session has been authenticated, but the information in the token indicating that the session is malicious causes an application clone session to be established instead of an actual application session. The clone session appears to be an actual application session but protects the valid user's account by including fake data instead of the user's actual data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2020Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: SAP SEInventors: Cedric Hebert, Anderson Santana de Oliveira, Merve Sahin

Publication number: 20220101151Abstract: An intelligent labeling method is disclosed herein. The method can receive a plurality of input instances and access a knowledge graph comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges connecting the plurality of nodes. The plurality of nodes represent objects and the edges represent relationship between the objects. For at least some selected input instances, the method can identify respective matching objects represented by corresponding nodes of the knowledge graph. A selected input instance shares a common label with the corresponding matching object. For identified matching objects, the method can identify a common class object represented by a corresponding node of the knowledge graph. A percentage of identified matching objects are descendants of the common class object, and the percentage is greater than a predefined threshold. The method can associate a label of the common class object with the plurality of input instances.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2020Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: SAP SEInventors: Jan Portisch, Sandra Bracholdt, Michael Hladik, Oliver Huth

Patent number: 11288263Abstract: Provided is a system and method for managing change requests to a shared data object. In one example, the method may include receiving a request to change a value of a shared data object stored in a data store, identifying a queue of the shared data object which stores change requests before processing, generating an entry for the request comprising a timestamp of the request, the change in the value, and an identifier of the shared data object, and storing the generated entry in the queue of the shared data object, where the generated entry is stored in a position of the queue based on the timestamp. Thus, a user does not need to wait for other users to finish accessing the shared data object. Instead, a user waits for a queue entry to be created, thus decreasing the wait time.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2019Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: SAP SEInventor: Sebastian Mietke

Patent number: 11288272Abstract: In some embodiments, a method detects a cancelation of a query for an application that is running. The query is being performed on a database system. The method processes the cancellation to determine one or more threads associated with the query and sends a signal to the one or more threads that are associated with the process to suspend the one or more threads. One or more signal handlers for the one or more threads are called and an exception is thrown by the one or more signal handlers to cancel the query. The exception causes the query to be canceled.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2019Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Chae Kwang Lee, Juchang Lee, Jaeyoung Choi

Patent number: 11288062Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for automatically refactoring code. In particular, disclosed technologies provide for automatically refactoring code that includes function calls, which can be to particular types of functions, such as external functions or functions that are not member functions of a class. For code to be refactored, an interface and a class are created. The class implements the interface. Method declarations corresponding to the function calls being refactored are added to the interface and the class. Code is added instantiating an object of the class. Implementations for the methods in the class can call the functions called by the source code being refactored, or can include code implementing the functionality of the called functions. Refactored code has function calls replaced with calls to corresponding methods of the interface.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Joachim Gross, Jan Portisch

Patent number: 11281862Abstract: A significant correlation framework is provided herein for translating input commands to intents. The input commands may be natural language commands, received from a variety of input channels, which may be translated to intents or other runtime-bindable execution objects. The significant correlation framework may use interpreter nodes for translating the input commands by calculating the strength of correlation between an input command and an intent. The significant correlation framework may analyze the sequence of intents or the timing of translated intents to enhance the accuracy of the translation. The significant correlation framework may maintain a history of command translations, and may compare current translations against the history to improve accuracy of the translations. The significant correlation framework may switch between a depth-first mapping method and a breadth-first mapping method. Depth-first mapping may translate commands through a single interpreter node.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Aavishkar Bharara, Anbarasu Ayyasami, Anil Rao Arun, Ramya K S, Deepanshi Katoch, Shrijan Shrivastav, Ankita Prabhu, Ashwani Kumar Luhaniwal

Patent number: 11281480Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for enhancing parameter-less exit-calls from a command line interface (CLI). An embodiment operates by obtaining a parameter and a name for a task script, and then generating a shell script including the name of the task script and an instruction to execute the task script based on the parameter. Then, an execution request for a task including an exit-call is sent to the CLI. The execution request includes a name of the shell script for the exit-call. The CLI calls the shell script in response to the exit-call during execution of the task. Further, the task script is executed based on the parameter in response to the CLI calling the shell script.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Andreas Meier, Thomas Grimmeisen
