Patent number: 11436066Abstract: An example system and method facilitates operation of a networked software application during periods of intermittent network connectivity, by selectively intercepting and shredding and/or unshredding service response messages. In a specific embodiment, the example system includes one or more pluggable shredders and unshredders to explode a payload into its constituent structured primitive objects for ease of consumption by the User Interface (UI) of the client application. The exploded payloads are stored in local cache, where the cached data is structured as compared to the received payload. One or more unshredders selectively reconstruct one or more response message payloads if client reissues the corresponding request message while offline. The client may operate as if it is online, and the system will provide one or more mock responses containing the last known data set for the scenario wherein the server cannot be reached.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2020Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Blake Sullivan, Kentaro Kinebuchi, Jing Wu, Min Lu, Andrew Schwartz, Max Starets

Patent number: 11366676Abstract: A system for providing user assistance receives a request for user assistance from a component on a user interface. The component includes a help identifier, and the request is generated by a type of user selection, such as the clicking of an icon. The system determines a level of user assistance based on the type of selection and retrieves user assistance content based on the help identifier and the determined level of user assistance. In one embodiment, the user interface includes three levels of user assistance.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2008Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Jeffrey Stephenson, Maria Elisabeth Kaval, Ritchard Shadian, Matthew Clifton Cooper, Gabrielle Crawford, Scott Michael O'Bryan, Harry William Baggett, III, Blake Sullivan

Patent number: 11163542Abstract: A system and method for facilitating automatically adjusting a user interface display screen or portion thereof. An example method includes determining context information associated with data, wherein the data is maintained in accordance with a data model; generating a signal when the context information changes; and employing the signal to automatically configure one or more characteristics of a user interface architecture, resulting in an adjusted user interface architecture. The context information may include information specifying one or more attributes relating to the data model. Generating may further include analyzing the one or more attributes to determine a modification to be made to the user interface architecture and then rendering a user interface display screen based on a modified user interface architecture.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Blake Sullivan, Edward Farrell, Jing Wu, Venkata Guddanti, Min Lu, Hongbing Wang, Michael Elges, Michael William McGrath, Gangadhar Konduri

Publication number: 20210081263Abstract: An example system and method facilitates operation of a networked software application, i.e., client application which communicates with a network resource (e.g., web service) during periods of intermittent network connectivity, by selectively intercepting and shredding and/or unshredding service response messages. In a specific embodiment, the example system includes one or more pluggable shredders and unshredders that are used to explode a complex REpresentational State Transfer (REST) payload into its constituent structured primitive objects for ease of consumption by the User Interface (UI) of the client application. The exploded, i.e., shredded response message payloads are stored in local cache, where the cached data is strategically structured as compared to the received REST payload. One or more unshredders selectively reconstruct one or more REST response message payloads if client reissues the corresponding REST request message while offline.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2020Publication date: March 18, 2021Applicant: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Blake Sullivan, Kentaro Kinebuchi, Jing Wu, Min Lu, Andrew Schwartz, Max Starets

Patent number: 10726195Abstract: In one set of embodiments, a web document is associated with a style sheet that can include style rules, which provide details about how the document is to be presented and formatted by, for example, a web browser. A reduced set of style rules is determined based upon contents of the web document and style sheet. Reducing the size of the style sheet is desirable, e.g., to increase communication and processing efficiency when the style sheet is sent with the document in an e-mail message. The reduced set of style rules can include rules that are referenced by user interface components present in the document, and can exclude rules that are not referenced by the document, or are incompatible with or not applicable to e-mail. The reduced set of style rules can be embedded in an e-mail message or other communication in place of the original style sheet.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2019Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Blake Sullivan, Jeanne Marie Waldman

Patent number: 10712913Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for event-based architectures for implementing expand-collapse input-output operations in user interfaces. Certain techniques are disclosed herein that allow for a expand and/or collapse functionality via passing asynchronous events to a datasource module, which may or may not be routed through a view module. The datasource module determines what data is to be shown or hidden and issues an insert/delete event back to the view module. The insert/delete event may include additional data to be inserted into the user interface, and may include an identifier of where, within the displayed user interface, data is to be inserted or deleted. A view module may be configured to receive insert or delete events, and, in response, cause the user interface to be modified based upon the event. The view module may perform these updates by inserting or removing Document Object Model (DOM) nodes from a DOM associated with the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2015Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Blake Sullivan, Max Starets, Chadwick Chow, Hendrick van den Broek

Patent number: 10691299Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for the efficient display of hierarchical datasets using high-water mark scrolling. Certain techniques allow for the creation of simple, intuitive, and computationally inexpensive user interfaces for displaying hierarchical data sets. According to some embodiments, a defined number of items of a hierarchical list are presented in a hierarchical user interface module. This defined number of items may be referred to as a “high-water mark” value. When one of the items having associated child items (that are not currently displayed) is selected, one or more presented items in the hierarchical list are replaced with a corresponding one or more of the child items, thus maintaining a same number of displayed list items (i.e., the high-water mark number of displayed list items).Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2015Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Hendrik van den Broek, Blake Sullivan, Max Starets, Chadwick Chow
