  • Patent number: 9286578
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for determining a most suitable address for a master data object instance for a given usage in a business transaction document, master data object, or business process. A computer-implemented method includes determining, using at least one computer, an address determination sequence, applying the address determination sequence to available address instances of a master data object instance, identifying a most suitable address from among the available instances, and retrieving an address value from the identified most suitable address instance.

  • Publication number: 20150379534
    Abstract: Processing power of a database may be leveraged to perform contact engagement analysis efficiently defining target groups. A person-centric data model allows rapid segmentation based upon details of individual contacts, and the nature of their interactions. The data model may recognize multiple facets of a single individual, for example different identifiers for various personal networks (e.g., social media networks, enterprise directories, etc.). Contact engagement analysis may use techniques such as contact classification, filtering, date period selection, and/or tag cloud based topic classification visualization, in order to achieve target group definition. A data model and UI may provide selection tools filtering data of mixed quality, allowing fast overview, and providing selection possibilities of contact groups having different data quality classifications. A tag cloud (e.g., including a time slider) shows topics of interest derived from contact interactions, thus providing visual indications.

  • Patent number: 8949855
    Abstract: A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to an address snapshot and an approval process definition business object.

  • Patent number: 8930363
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for efficiently handling address data in business transaction documents. A computer-implemented method includes receiving a modification to address data associated with an existing address instance, receiving, using at least one computer, an indication of a modification type, creating a new snapshot instance, associating the modified address data with the new snapshot instance, retrieving a unique reference value for the new address snapshot instance, and associating the unique reference value identifying the new address snapshot instance with the address instance.
