  • Patent number: 8521711
    Abstract: A persistent filter refining system places a search result comprising objects in a dynamic non-persistent bucket and displays the search result in a dynamic non-persistent bucket display for selection of the objects by a user. The system transfers a selected object from the dynamic non-persistent bucket to a persistent bucket and displays the transferred selected object in a persistent bucket display. The system iteratively provides additional search results to the user for selection and transfer of additional selected objects to the persistent bucket to provide access by a user to take action on the transferred selected object and additional selected objects. In one embodiment, the present system displays one or more additional search results for comparison and selection of objects by the user.

  • Patent number: 8316316
    Abstract: Described is a system and a computer program product for visually delineating a relationship between diverse, but related graphical objects in a graphical user interface. An icon that has specified color scheme is associated with the diverse, but related but graphical objects. When one of the related graphical objects is displayed, the icon is displayed within the displayed graphical object. The persistence of the icon with the specified color scheme in the displayed graphical objects allows them to be recognized as related. In a particular instance, the icon is displayed with each graphical object in a series of graphical objects that represent an evolution of progression of development.

  • Patent number: 7712042
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for viewing mappings between objects. A main view is displayed, wherein the main view shows one or more source objects, one or more target objects, and zero or more mappings between the one or more source objects and the one or more target objects. Input selecting a type of view to be displayed in the main view is received, wherein each type of view provides a different amount of detail regarding the mappings. In response to receiving the input, the selected type of view is created, and the created view is displayed. Additionally, techniques are provided for viewing objects. One or more objects along with mappings between the one or more objects are displayed. View filters are provided that may be applied to the one or more objects, wherein the view filters enable hiding at least one of mapped or unmapped objects. Moreover, techniques are provided for viewing nodes. A structure is displayed that includes one or more nodes.

  • Patent number: 7627854
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer usable code are provided for automatically generating object setup scripts. A form is presented to a user in a graphical user interface. The user provides input in a set of fields within the form, which is received and validated. A set of object setup scripts are then generated based on the user input to the form. To generate the set of object setup scripts based on the user input an analysis is performed on the set of fields as a set of objects, and at least one variable is set to hold the value of the set of objects. String manipulations are used to obtain the values in the set of fields, and the values are entered into the set of object setup scripts.

  • Patent number: 6636248
    Abstract: An initial icon is displayed as a watermark throughout related windows to represent a relationship to a particular application. As a user traverses related windows belonging to the same family, the initial icon, displayed as a watermark, is persistent throughout each of the related windows and is displayed in an area maximizing visibility, e.g. on the outer perimeter of the window workspace to maximize the likelihood of being seen when multiple windows overlap.
