Abstract: A task-oriented search tool searches for one or more tasks related to a search term submitted via a computer-user interface. The task-oriented search tool displays search results that include a task related to the search term and a task-solving tool for performing the task related to the search term.

Abstract: In one general aspect, a computer system can include instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The computer system can include an application link manager configured to receive an indicator that a first application is linked to a second application, and an object generator configured to store a copy of data from a database of the first application and represented within a user interface of the first application as a core object in a storage environment in response to the indicator that the first application is linked to the second application. The computer system can also include a database link manager configured to link a database of the second application with the core object stored in the storage environment in response to the copy of the data being stored as the core object in the storage environment.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes providing a collaborative task management tool coupled to a workflow management application. The method further includes generating, using the collaborative task management tool, user-selectable options for addressing an exception in an established workflow.

Abstract: An input handler may receive natural language input associated with a command from a user through a user interface, and a language parser may parse the natural language input to determine parsed natural language input. A context monitor may receive context information associated with the user, and a context parser may parse the context information to obtain parsed context information associated with the natural language input and with the command. A command interpreter may interpret the parsed natural language input, using the parsed context information, to thereby determine the command.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is illustrated including receiving a search query, parsing the search query to identify first and second search terms, determining a relationship between the first and second search terms based on their respective domain assignments, conducting a search based on the respective domain assignments, and displaying a result of the search based on the respective domain assignments, and the relationship between the first and second search terms, as at least one rephrasing of the search query.

Abstract: A method to perform selection of a list item using an invariant selection location includes retrieving multiple data items to present for selection by a user. A single invariant selection location is recognized within a presentation window presented to the user. A subset of the multiple data items are then presented to the user within the presentation window, each of the presented data items are being presented within a respective presentation position defined within the presentation window. A single advance input mechanism is associated with the presentation window. The single advance input mechanism is operative to advance the presentation of data items within the presentation window. An advance input is received from the user, via the advanced input mechanism. The presentation of the subset of data items within the presentation window is advanced to locate a selected data item at the invariant selection location.
