Patent number: 8751644Abstract: Monitor services deployable on device networks may be implemented using a modular approach, in which a core monitor service is mapped to one or more devices included in, or associated with, the device networks. Additional monitoring-related functionality may be provided to such devices using plug-ins, add-on services or service components, or other service modules, which interact with the core monitor service. The core monitor service(s) and any monitor service modules may be mapped, to specific ones of the devices, based on, for example, requirements of other services and/or relevant device metadata (e.g., capabilities) of the devices. In additional or alternative implementations, various protocols may be used to register new devices and deployed monitor service(s) with the distributed monitoring service(s) in a fast, secure, energy-efficient, and reliable manner, even as devices join or leave the device network(s).Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2012Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Christof Bornhoevd, Brian S. Mo, Matthias M. Wiemann

Patent number: 8156208Abstract: A service repository is used to store at least one service in association with service metadata describing service requirements of the service. The service repository also may store one or more platform-specific service executables. A service mapper is used to determine device metadata associated with each of a plurality of devices, where the device metadata provides device characteristics of the devices. The service mapper may thus map the service to a selected device of the plurality of devices for deployment thereon, based on a matching of corresponding elements of the service requirements and the device characteristics. The service mapper also may re-map the service between devices to maintain a quality and reliability of the service.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2006Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Christof Bornhoevd, Artin Avanes, Holger R.

Patent number: 7765105Abstract: A method of graphically representing management of goods in a supply chain includes receiving goods management data in a computer system from participants in a supply chain, the goods management data being sent upon the participants managing individual goods, and generating a graph in the computer system using the goods management data, the graph showing the management of the individual goods over time. A computer-implemented tool may generate a display area that shows the management of individual goods over time by the participants. The goods management may be graphically represented as cumulative curves. Curves may be shifted, cleansed or predicted. The tool may identify problems in the supply chain.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2004Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Assignee: SAP AktiengesellschaftInventor: Brian S. Mo

Patent number: 7331527Abstract: A current state of an item being tracked by an item-tracking system may be determined using prior state information about the item. To ensure proper temporal order of the state information, software events triggered by physical events associated with the item are received from a reader at an event interpretation system. A database or queue within the event interpretation system holds the software events for a delay time determined by a maximum transmission delay time of the software events. A sorter within the event interpretation system orders the software events relative to one another so as to correspond to an order of the physical events. An association model of the event interpretation system may determine state information related to the item for storage in a state information database. Accordingly, system exceptions in the item tracking system may be reduced, and an accuracy and reliability of the system may be improved.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2004Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: SAP AktiengesellschaftInventors: Brian S.
