Patent number: 9934204Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for conditionally refreshing workarea user interfaces (UIs) includes logic adapted to receive a request to refresh one or more workarea UIs, wherein the one or more workarea UIs are provided within a document object model (DOM), logic adapted to determine whether to reload the DOM or to refresh the one or more workarea UIs within the DOM without reloading the DOM; logic adapted to reload the DOM when it is determined to reload the DOM; and logic adapted to refresh the one or more workarea UIs without reloading the DOM when it is determined to refresh the one or more workarea UIs. Other systems, methods, and computer program products for conditionally refreshing workarea UIs are described according to more embodiments.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2012Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: LENOVO ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS (SINGAPORE) PTE. LTD.Inventors: Randal L. Bertram, Alejandro M. Ortiz, Ryan P. Randolph

Patent number: 9823826Abstract: A manager amongst numerous devices that serves as a manager or monitors another managed device. The managing device may queries the managed device to determine the functionality provided by, or requirements of, one or more managed device UIs. The managed device returns the functionality provided by or requirements of the managed device UI(s) to the managing device which, in turn, saves the information in a master UI function table. The managing device returns one or more UI modules to the managed device that are appropriate as based upon the received UI functionality or UI requirement information. The managing device may further assemble one or more UI modules that are appropriate as based upon the received UI functionality or UI requirement information and provide the assembled UI module to a user of the managing device.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2014Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Randal L. Bertram, Keith D. Cramer, Alejandro M. Ortiz

Patent number: 9146970Abstract: A method for searching data on a computer system is provided. The method includes the displaying of a plurality of navigation nodes in a graphical navigation string on a display. The navigation nodes comprise a navigation hierarchy, having a first level and a second level. The method further includes the displaying of a finder field on the display adjacent to the plurality of navigation nodes in the graphical navigation string for searching the first level of the navigation hierarchy. It also includes the displaying of a navigation scope bar for searching the second level of the navigation hierarchy. Additionally, it includes a processor that determines a refined search criteria based on a movement of the navigation scope bar with respect to a navigation node within the plurality of navigation nodes in the graphical navigation string. The method further includes the sending of the refined search criteria to a search engine.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2013Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Randal L. Bertram, Mark E. Molander, Alejandro M. Ortiz
