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.

Abstract: One example is related to computer-implemented methods, computer-readable media and computer systems for interacting with resources exchanged using Open Data Protocol. A client computer system receives multiple resources defined according to a first data structure from a server computer system connected to the client computer system through a data network in response to an OData request for the resources. The resources are defined according to a first data structure. A resource is associated with a boundary that specifies resource operations performable on the resource. The resource is translated from the first data structure to a second data structure different from the first data structure, where, in the second data structure, the identified resource is editable to perform the resource operations on the identified resource. The identified resource is displayed in a user interface according to the second data structure and the resource operations that are performable on the identified resource.

Abstract: A system and method for asset tracking utilizing a wireless device. An asset such as a vehicle can be equipped with a 3-axis geomagnetic sensor and an accelerometer in association with a remote control hardware component capable of responding to SMS (Short Message Service) command transmitted from the wireless device. As soon as the theft of the asset is detected, a “Theft in progress” SMS data can be transmitted from the wireless device to the remote device attached to the asset. The device then queries the geomagnetic sensor and the accelerometer at a pre-defined rate and transmits the X-Y-Z coordinates and acceleration values to the cell phone/computer via SMS at regular intervals. The device can also log the route of vehicle in a non-volatile memory which can be queried utilizing a “Request History” command.

Abstract: A management system (managing field devices of a process control plan) provided according to an aspect of the present invention enables a user to view historical menus (i.e., the menus as displayed at desired prior time points). Such a feature is enabled in an embodiment by storing displayed tree structure as well as associated item values.
