Patent number: 8538878Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for processing bills electronically. Generally, a bill is created for a customer using billing information and master data from a biller and master data from a customer. Billing information is received from the biller by a first processing module having access to the master data of the biller. The first processing module generates a bill using the billing information and the master data of the biller. A second processing module having access to the master data of the customer provides customer data to the first processing module. The bill is transformed into a format specified in the master data of the customer by the first processing module if the format of the generated bill is not the format specified in the master data of the customer. The generated or transformed bill is transferred to the second processing module by the first processing module.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2012Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Beat Meier, Peter Goedtler

Patent number: 8498988Abstract: Data records in one or more databases may be scanned to create a search index. The search index may include an identifier for each data record scanned, and a list of fragments of data in one or more data fields of each scanned data record. Each fragment in the list may be created by extracting a fixed number of adjoining characters from data in each data field of a corresponding data record. The list of fragments may include all fixed number of adjoining character sequences in each data field of a data record. Multiple search indexes may be included, with each search index including a different fixed number of adjoining characters in the fragment list. Systems and methods may be provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2010Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Sven Negrassus, Beat Meier

Patent number: 7519817Abstract: Methods, systems and software applications are provided for automatically processing an electronic document having a digital signature. In one implementation, a method is provided that comprises sending the electronic document from a sender to a designated receiver. The method further includes, on the designated receiver's or a third party's computer system, (a) receiving the electronic document from the sender, (b) validating the digital signature, and (c) checking whether the digital signature is from a person or legal entity authorized to send the electronic document. If the person or legal entity is authorized to send the electronic document, the method may further include (d) checking whether the person or legal entity that signed the document is authorized by an issuer of the electronic document, and (e) creating an electronic protocol of the results of steps (b), (c) and (d).Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2005Date of Patent: April 14, 2009Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Beat Meier, Anton Meier

Publication number: 20060075245Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products are disclosed for providing long-term authenticity proof of an electronic document having a digital signature, wherein the electronic document is digitally signed with a digital signature and the electronic document and its digital signature are archived in a data archive. Such methods, systems and computer program products may store the electronic document in a first data archive and store a hash value of the electronic document in a second data archive different from the first data archive. Long-term authenticity and integrity may be achieved by periodically re-signing, particularly time stamping the hash value in the second data archive.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2005Publication date: April 6, 2006Inventor: Beat Meier
