  • Publication number: 20200278968
    Abstract: Some embodiments optimize a local, pending transaction queue of transactions locally executed by a client application to be synchronized with a server. Multiple transactions, which may be executed by the client application for a same local object, need to be synchronized with a server. The transactions, in queue for synchronization with the server, may include transactions to add, delete, or modify objects. Each set of transactions for a particular object in queue for synchronization with the server corresponds to a particular net effect on the server if synchronized individually to the server. The client application may replace the set of transactions for the particular object with a reduced set of transactions corresponding to the net effect, or entirely removed without replacement if there is no net effect of the set of transactions on the server.

  • Publication number: 20200272629
    Abstract: One or more embodiments interpret a configuration graph to efficiently and optimally construct requests and fetch data from a datastore. The values of objects of a requested data type are used to generate additional queries for pre-fetching data from the datastore. Specifically, the values are used to query for and retrieve a corresponding subset of objects of another, related data type. Recursively querying for and retrieving objects of related data types based on already retrieved objects builds a data cache of relevant objects. The cached, relevant objects may be useful in subsequent queries that are likely to follow the initial query.

  • Patent number: 10706053
    Abstract: Some embodiments locally cache search results received from a server in an object-agnostic data structure for the local execution of subsequent queries by a client application. The object-agnostic data structure stores objects returned, from a server, in a set of query results corresponding to one or more initial queries. The locally cached objects correspond to a partial set of the objects stored at a server. The object-agnostic data structure allows for the local execution of a subsequent query on the partial set of objects to generate a partial result set corresponding to the subsequent query. The partial result set for the subsequent query may be desired when the server is inaccessible or query executions on the server take longer than a threshold amount of time. The client application may update the partial result set with the complete result set received from the server upon availability of the complete result set.

  • Publication number: 20180357270
    Abstract: Some embodiments process data as defined by a polymorphic data model. A server may provide the polymorphic data model to a client application from a datastore. The functionality or features of the client application may be controlled as a function of the polymorphic data model. The client application may thus provide different functionalities when provided with different polymorphic data models. Updates to the polymorphic data model may be used to update the client application's functionality without any updates to the client application's executable code.

  • Publication number: 20180357229
    Abstract: Some embodiments improve object accessibility within a user interface based on a set of access patterns associated with the object. Improving accessibility for an object may include positioning a shortcut for the object to allow for quick access to the object. Another example includes executing commands to traverse a user interface, without receiving user input, to display a screen for accessing the object. Another example includes establishing a connection for accessing the object prior to receiving a request to access the object. A trigger for improving the accessibility for the object may be programmed based on a set of conditions detected when the object was previously accessed. Thereafter, detection of the same set of conditions triggers an improvement in the accessibility for the object. When the set of conditions corresponding to the trigger is no longer detected, the system may revert back to the default accessibility for the object.

  • Patent number: 9760897
    Abstract: A method and system for defining an offlinable view/controller graph. In one embodiment of the method a first view definition is received from a server via data communication link, wherein the first view definition comprises a first identifier. The first view definition is stored in memory at a location identified by a first universal resource locator (URL). The first URL is mapped to the first identifier in a table.

  • Patent number: 8224950
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for restricting access to data received by a computer over a network by filtering certain data from the data received. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a computer based method for filtering objectionable or target text data from World Wide Web pages which are received by a computer system connected to the Internet. According to the method, if the web page requested by the user contains only a minimum of objectionable or target data, the user may receive a portion of the filtered web page for downloading and viewing on his or her computer. If the web page requested contains a large amount of objectionable or target data, the invention will cause a “forbidden” page to be displayed on the user's computer monitor.
