  • Techniques for creating an activation solution for providing commercial network services
    Patent number: 7444376
    Abstract: A method of creating an activation solution for commercial network services is disclosed. The method employs modular, reuseable building block archive files, which represent a higher level of abstraction than simple atomic tasks. After the building block archives files suitable for addressing the needs of an activation solution are selected, innovative logic combines these building block archives to more quickly create an activation solution than is possible working from individual atomic tasks.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 22, 2003
    Date of Patent: October 28, 2008
    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.

  • Method and apparatus for using an information model to organize an information repository into an extensible hierarchy of organizational information
    Patent number: 6314427
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for accessing an information repository, including computer readable program code stored on computer readable media, where the computer readable program code includes code for organizing information stored in the information repository into a hierarchy of organizational information, and the code creates a hierarchy of a number of derived containers that have contents and are generated in conformance with an information model which has a hierarchy of type-defined container definition nodes, where some of the derived containers correspond to type-defined container definition nodes that are organization-based container definition nodes that represent a category of information in the information repository.
