  • Patent number: 11481466
    Abstract: Electronic multi-user forms are provided. The use of these forms may include displaying the forms to more than one user, receiving population data from one or more user, and selectively displaying the population data to each user. The population data may be displayed to the various users based on the security authorization of the user seeing the form. Upon completion of the form by the users, the form may be further completed and submitted for processing or approval.

  • Patent number: 10831858
    Abstract: Mobile enablement of a web site, in one aspect, may comprise separating the web application into a static content and a dynamic content, the dynamic content comprising one or more data sources from which to retrieve data at runtime of the web application; rendering the static content as one or more hypertext markup language pages with one or more links between the hypertext markup language pages converted to local links; changing one or more references to the dynamic content to representational state transfer requests; enabling the representational state transfer requests from said one or more hypertext markup language pages; and packaging said one or more hypertext markup language pages as the mobile application.

  • Patent number: 10380555
    Abstract: A method and system is provided for policy driven, online meeting updates during the course of an electronic meeting. The invention defines one or more groups of participants in an electronic meeting, and assigns a unique relative priority to each group of participants. Meeting events, such as slide changes or other data that is sent to the various participants for viewing, are transmitted to the various groups in a sequence ordered by the relative priorities assigned to the groups. Alternatively, the invention provides for randomly staggering the delivery of data to the various groups. Both embodiments alleviate the scalability problems that arise for electronic meetings having large numbers of participants.

  • Patent number: 10108596
    Abstract: Version control for a document can include receiving from a user a request to commit one or more revisions to a master document in a document repository. The one or more revisions can be included in a local copy of the master document. A processor can determine whether an accept only designation is assigned to at least a portion of the local copy. In response to a determination that an accept only designation is assigned to at least a portion of the local copy, the respective revisions assigned an accept only designation can be disallowed from incorporation into the master document. Revisions made to the master document can be sent to the user for incorporation into the user's local copy of the master document. Such sending is not prevented by the assignment of an accept only designation to at least a portion of the local copy of the master document.

  • Patent number: 10089283
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for mobile enablement of webpages (e.g., HTML webpages). In one example, mechanisms are provided for refactoring Java Server Pages “JSP” of a web application into an abstraction layer that partitions the visual presentation elements of HTML pages of the web application into a set of views and a Javascript home page. Further, mechanisms are provided for enabling access to the HTML pages over a mobile device by stacking views one atop another (in one specific example, the views may be rendered only one view at a time as needed; in another specific example any number of views (e.g., all of the views) may be rendered at once). Further, mechanisms are provided for enabling navigation between the views for the HTML pages by providing buttons along with each view.

  • Patent number: 9799001
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a social network. The methods involve: creating a relationship between a first entity and a second entity; setting authorization which indicates that a user of said first entity is authorized to view inventory data of said second entity; receiving a request to view first inventory data of said first entity and second inventory data of said second entity by said user; and determining whether said user is authorized to view said second inventory data. If said user is authorized: querying a first remote inventory management system of said first entity for said first inventory data and a second remote inventory management system of said second entity for said second inventory data; receiving said first and second inventory data; generating an aggregate view comprising said first and second inventory data; and providing content of said aggregate view to a client computing device of said first entity.

  • Patent number: 9760405
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for enforcing performance goals in an n-Tier distributed caching infrastructure. In an embodiment of the invention, a method of enforcing performance goals in an n-Tier distributed caching infrastructure can include establishing a communicative connection to multiple different cache servers arranged in respective tier nodes in an n-Tier cache. The method also can include collecting performance metrics for each of the cache servers in the respective tier nodes of the n-Tier cache and identifying a cache server amongst the cache servers in respective tier nodes of the n-Tier demonstrating a performance likely to breach at least one term of an SLA. Finally, the method can include applying a remedial measure to the identified cache server.

  • Patent number: 9736017
    Abstract: The present invention is a method, system and apparatus for configuring a client-side communications protocol stack. In a method of the invention, a mapping can be consulted to determine a set of client-side protocol stack components which correspond to a set of protocol stack components in a server side protocol stack instance. Subsequently, a listing can be created of the determined set of client-side protocol stack components. Finally, the listing can be published for access by externally disposed client computing processes. Preferably, the listing can be reversed. Also, the consulting step further can include determining at least one attribute to be applied to at least one of the client-side protocol stack components when enabling a client-side protocol stack to interoperate with the server-side protocol stack instance.

  • Patent number: 9734124
    Abstract: A method for managing a two-way form over a direct link is provided. The method includes establishing a communicative link between two communications clients each separately executing in memory by a processor of a corresponding one of two computers. The method also includes managing a two-way form rendered as individual instances of the two-way form each in a corresponding content browser executing in a corresponding one of the two computers. Finally, the method includes exchanging synchronization information for the two-way form over the communicative link. In one aspect of the embodiment, the method also includes prompting in one of the individual instances of the two-way form for verification of an update to a field providing in another of the individual instances of the two-way form. In another aspect of the embodiment, the method includes recording a verification of the update to the field in an audit trail.
