Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a faceted browser for decision-making that enables interactive visualization of a decision space as choices are made. According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprises receiving a selection of a first choice from a user. The first choice is displayed in a user interface that includes a plurality of facets, each facet including a plurality of choices. The method further comprises disabling at least one second choice in response to the selection of the first choice, and determining a first result set in response to the selection of the first choice. The user interface is then updated in real-time to display the selected status of the first choice, the disabled status of the second choice, and the first result set to the user.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating user access to software functionality, such as enterprise-related software applications and associated data. An example method includes receiving language input responsive to one or more prompts; determining, based on the language input, a subject category associated with a computing object, such as a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) opportunity object; identifying an action category pertaining to a software action to be perform pertaining to the computing object; employing identification of the software action to obtain action context information pertaining to the action category; and implementing a software action in accordance with the action context information. Context information pertaining to a software flow and a particular computing object may guide efficient implementation of voice-guided software tasks corresponding to the software flows.

Abstract: A mobile design pattern. In an example embodiment, the design pattern includes a first user interface display screen that depicts a list of user interface controls organized in rows. Each row in the list includes a different set of one or more controls. Each different set of one or more controls is associated with a different set of functionality provided by one or more additional user interface display screens. The example design pattern further includes a second user interface display screen that is accessible via the different sets of one or more controls. The second user interface display screen includes a navigation bar, which includes one or more navigation controls and a title or header identifying a set of functionality associated with the different set of one or more controls. The second user interface display screen further includes an information-display region adapted to display data associated with the set of functionality.

Abstract: A graphical user interface for searching information related to business objects includes a search interface having one or more user input fields for receiving data from a user related to one or more attributes associated with business objects. The search interface presents the one or more user input fields in response to a user context. A first tab displays information related to a set of business objects in response to a search based on the data provided to the one or more user input fields. A second tab displays information related to a business object in the set of business objects.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved approach for implementing a method, system, and computer program product for utilizing design patterns, which provides an improved approach for organizing, navigating and/or visualizing design patterns. This approach may be embodied as a mobile design pattern viewer. The current approach presents design patterns in logical groupings, allows visualization of individual patterns, and highlights relationships. This permits organization, navigation, and/or visualization of the design patterns, where a collection of patterns work together as an integrated set that enables users to understand how an individual pattern relates to other patterns.

Abstract: Embodiments provide user access to software functionality such as enterprise-related software applications and accompanying actions and data. An example method includes receiving natural language input; analyzing the natural language input and selecting one or more portions of the natural language input; employing the one or more keywords to select software functionality; and presenting one or more user interface controls in combination with a representation of the natural language input, wherein the one or more user interface controls are adapted to facilitate user access to the software functionality. In a more specific embodiment, the natural language input is functionally augmented via in-line tagging of keywords or phrases, wherein the tags act as user interface controls for accessing selected software functionality.

Abstract: Data visualizations include first and optionally second containers representing first and second time periods, respectively; each container encloses icons representing data entities associated with the container's time period. Icons from the first and second containers may be moved to the other container to change the time periods associated with data entities corresponding to the moved icons. Additionally, changes to attributes of data entities made via the data visualization may be shared with other users. A level indicator representing data entities associated with the first container aggregate attribute value changes in response to icons being added to or removed from the first container. The containers may be visually styled as cups, the level indicators as liquid and/or a straw contained in the cup, and the icons as bubbles or other objects in the liquid.
