  • Patent number: 10635693
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for finding groups of potential duplicates in attribute values. Each attribute value of the attribute values is converted to a respective set of bigrams. All bigrams present in the attribute values may be determined. Bigrams present in the attribute values may be represented as bits. This may result in a bitmap representing the presence of the bigrams in the attribute values. The attribute values may be grouped using bitwise operations on the bitmap, where each group includes attribute values that are determined based on pairwise bigram-based similarity scores. The pairwise bigram-based similarity score reflects the number of common bigrams between two attribute values.

  • Patent number: 10585959
    Abstract: Internet searches sometimes provide search results referencing webpages that do not contain all search term elements submitted by a user. The user may then click on such Internet search results where referenced webpages, and/or their descendants, do not contain important search term elements. Also, advertisements may be placed on search results webpages that relate to the user's search term elements, even though there may be search terms missing in referenced and/or descendant webpages. The present invention is directed to: annotating Internet search results to indicate missing search term elements on referenced and descendant webpages; optionally filtering out search results referencing webpages with missing terms; and showing advertisements related to search term elements.

  • Patent number: 10565211
    Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for presenting event intelligence and trends tailored per geographic area granularity. Event related data can be combined with information from other domains to enable intelligent decision making within those domains. Responsive to user commands, graphical presentation can be tailored to a geographic granularity and can vary between geographic granularities. Event related information and other information for a defined area as well as adjacent areas can be at least partially summarized based on geographic granularity. At least partially summarizing data for currently presented areas as well as adjacent areas reduces resource consumption when moving between presented areas, for example, in a map. The level of summarization can be a tailored to a selected geographic granularity. As such, overall presented graphical data (e.g., total number of icons) can be relatively stable, and possibly tuned to available computing resources.

  • Patent number: 10565273
    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods and systems for searching documents in a multi-tenant hosting environment. According to embodiments, to conserve hardware resources, a plurality of documents associated with a plurality of tenants may be mapped to the same search index in the multi-tenant hosting environment. In order to search documents associated only with a single tenant in the multi-tenant hosting environment, a tenant identifier is prepended to every key stored in the search index that is associated with the plurality of documents of the single tenant. Moreover, where one document links to another document within the multi-tenant hosting environment, the link is stored in a web graph when a source tenant identifier matches a target tenant identifier for the link. According to embodiments, when conducting a search, the link is resolved only if the link is stored in the web graph.

  • Patent number: 10558651
    Abstract: A method includes causing display to a user of at least one event of a first result set from a first pipelined search on events at an event source. Each event comprises a time stamp and a portion of machine data. A selection of a command is received from the user. The selection is to extend the first pipelined search with the selected command in a second pipelined search. The system selects between the first result set and the event source for execution of the second pipelined search based on an analysis of the selected command and at least one command of the first pipelined search. Based on the selecting being of the first result set, display to the user is caused of at least one event of a second result set from the execution of the second pipelined search on the first result set.

  • Patent number: 10558529
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, one or more changes to one or more objects in the software object database are received from a developer. A change list is generated based on the one or more changes. An object definition is exported for every object in the change list from a first schema in the database to a second schema in the software object database. A first object in the second schema is activated by mapping a logical schema name specified in the object definition for the first object to a corresponding physical schema name and creating or altering the first object in the second schema using the physical schema name.

  • Patent number: 10552783
    Abstract: A model synchronization map table is built that facilitates autonomous computer self-navigation between elements of business objects of a business object model and corresponding elements at least one extensible markup language (XML) schema of an XML schema definition-based (XSD-based) model. The XSD-based model is programmatically generated by transformation of each of the elements of the business objects of the business object model into the corresponding elements of the XML schema of the XSD-based model. The business object model and the XSD-based model are displayed in a dual-view editor. The dual-view editor enables a user to toggle between and independently edit the business object model and the XSD-based model. In response to independent edits made to one of the XSD-based model and the business object model, the elements of the business object model are automatically synchronized with the corresponding elements of the XSD-based model using the model synchronization map table.

  • Patent number: 10552373
    Abstract: A facility for snapshot space accounting for a storage system, such as a filesystem is disclosed. The facility enables users to quickly and easily determine the amount of storage space that would be released or recovered if a snapshot were to be purged. The facility may work in conjunction with, or as part of, a snapshot service. The facility maintains an expiration data structure and a count data structure and uses these data structures in implementing the disclosed snapshot space accounting techniques. The expiration data structure represents the life cycle of each snapshot element maintained by the facility while the count data structure represents, for pairs of snapshots, the size of the information stored in the snapshot data that expired and that spans the corresponding pair of snapshots.
