  • Patent number: 8583704
    Abstract: A system and method for transferring data are provided. The method comprises: sending, from a receiving device, a data query to request data from a sending device; receiving, from the sending device, a data result model in response to the data query, the data result model including a table block; analyzing the data result model to regenerate the data for storage at the receiving device in accordance with the table block; and providing the regenerated data for storage at the receiving device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 14, 2011
    Date of Patent: November 12, 2013
    Assignee: SAP AG

  • Patent number: 8065341
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for transferring data. In one implementation, a method is provided for transferring data between a sending device (e.g., a server) and a receiving device (e.g., a client). The method may include sending, from the receiving device, a data query to request data from the sending device and receiving, form the sending device, a data result model in response to the data query. The data result model may include a table block. The method may also include analyzing the data result model to regenerate the data for storage at the receiving device. Analyzing the data result model may comprises reading at least one column definition and at least one data row from the table block, the data row including a row flag, a null location list, and a row payload field including the non-null data to be transferred to the receiving device. The method may further include processing each mapped data row to provide the regenerated data for storage at the receiving device.

  • Patent number: 5809161
    Abstract: An object monitoring system includes a camera node (2) for monitoring movement of an object (18) to determine an acquisition time when an image of the object (18) is to be acquired and acquiring the image at the predetermined time. The system includes a camera (6) which is able to monitor moving objects (18), and image processing circuitry (10), responsive to the camera (6), which is able to detect a predetermined moving object (18) from other moving and static objects. From the image acquired, information identifying the object (18) can be automatically extracted. The system is particularly suited to monitoring and discriminating large vehicles (18) from other vehicles over a multi-lane roadway, and acquiring high resolution images of the large vehicles (18) at a predetermined acquisition point (22).
