  • Patent number: 10386997
    Abstract: The embodiments described herein relate to an improved technique for integrating zoom, pan and select functions for a user input device in a data processing system. The described novel selection pattern allows for relying on user input device actions and a context menu to integrate multiple functions for a user input device to reduce significantly the travel required for the user input device. In one embodiment, the systems and methods integrate zoom, pan and select functions for a user input device that are applicable to many different data processing device types and sizes.

  • Publication number: 20150379534
    Abstract: Processing power of a database may be leveraged to perform contact engagement analysis efficiently defining target groups. A person-centric data model allows rapid segmentation based upon details of individual contacts, and the nature of their interactions. The data model may recognize multiple facets of a single individual, for example different identifiers for various personal networks (e.g., social media networks, enterprise directories, etc.). Contact engagement analysis may use techniques such as contact classification, filtering, date period selection, and/or tag cloud based topic classification visualization, in order to achieve target group definition. A data model and UI may provide selection tools filtering data of mixed quality, allowing fast overview, and providing selection possibilities of contact groups having different data quality classifications. A tag cloud (e.g., including a time slider) shows topics of interest derived from contact interactions, thus providing visual indications.

  • Publication number: 20150149962
    Abstract: Various embodiments for condensed display of data are described herein. A graphical user interface (GUI) comprises a first region including a plurality of graphical filter elements corresponding to respective content types, a grouping option selector, and a second region for displaying content. A graphical filter element comprises a unique icon representing corresponding content type, numeric information related to the corresponding content type, and a name of the corresponding content type. Upon selection of a grouping option using the grouping option selector, the content is displayed in groups in the second region. The groups are ordered in the second region and group indicators represent respective groups in the second region. Upon selection of a particular graphical filter element, content corresponding to the selected graphical filter element is displayed in the second region. The content in the second region is displayed in demarcated content regions corresponding to respective content types.

  • Publication number: 20140210838
    Abstract: A mapping between a business object and a corresponding visual representation of the business object may be read. The mapping may include a relationship between the business object's attributes and the visual representation's visual attributes. The mapping may include a relationship between the business object's attribute values and the visual representation's visual attribute values. The visual representation may be displayed on a graphical user interface based on the mapping.

  • Patent number: 8719315
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for combining replicated, analytical, and locally generated data in business objects on top of a database are disclosed. Business data are replicated from a first source to an analytics database. Analytical data based on the replicated business data are generated and combined with the replicated business data in the analytics database. Business objects are created to allow access to the analytics database via a user interface. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 8719219
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing a feed in an in-memory database system includes: determining, in an in-memory database system, that a criterion for a feed event is met with regard to a business object handled by the in-memory database system; generating a feed event document in response to the determination; identifying at least one user in the in-memory database system who is a feed event subscriber regarding the business object; and forwarding the generated feed event document to the identified at least one feed event subscriber.

  • Patent number: 7774476
    Abstract: A client may receive first content data and second content data from a server over a communication channel. The first content data may be configured to cause a first window to be displayed on the client. The first window may comprise at least one user selectable element configured to prompt, when selected, the second content data to cause a second window to be displayed on the client. Furthermore, input data entered in the second window may be transmitted from the client to the server, over the same communication channel used to receive the first and second content data.

  • Publication number: 20060089907
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for automatically verifying an invoice or credit memorandum and generating a payment or crediting an account. Upon receipt of a paper invoice or credit memorandum, an electronic invoice or credit memorandum having identifiable content may be generated using, for example, optical character recognition (OCR) technology. The invoice or credit memorandum may be automatically verified by comparing content received in the invoice or credit memorandum to records that are maintained describing the transaction. For example, the invoice or credit memorandum may be linked to a purchase order to verify whether any discrepancies exist. Additionally, a check may be made to ensure that the invoice or credit memorandum is not a duplicate. After verification is complete, the invoice or credit memorandum may be processed by an accounts payable system to either pay an outstanding balance or recognize a credit.
