Patent number: 10613916Abstract: Enabling a web application to call at least one native function of a mobile device includes accessing the web application by a browser of the mobile device. The web application includes at least one GUI element. The mobile device operates a listener module that is a TCP/IP socket listener listening for an address including a localhost IP address and a port number. Upon selection of the GUI element, a cross domain HTTP request is submitted by the browser to the listener localhost IP address. The listener module receives the request and calls the at least one native function in dependence on the received request.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2019Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Giulio Maltese, Gaetano Ruggiero

Patent number: 9686267Abstract: A client system associated with a user includes at least one hardware processor configured to initiate the following operations. A modified login page is received from a proxy hardware system. An asynchronous engine is loaded by a browser system executing on the client system and caused by a routine from the modified login page. A login process with an authentication profiling service is executed, using the asynchronous engine, to retrieve login information for a back-end server. The authentication process with the back-end server is completed using the asynchronous engine. The modified logic page is generated by the proxy hardware system by adding the routine to a login page being sent from the back-end server to the browser.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2016Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Gianluca Gargaro, Gaetano Ruggiero, Patrizio Trinchini

Patent number: 9442862Abstract: For managing a database in a data-processing system, a polymorph table and a mapping structure are provided. The polymorph table includes a discrimination column and a total number of columns of each type equal to a maximum of the virtual columns of the type. The mapping structure stores information mapping each virtual column to a polymorph column of the same type. A virtual access request is received based on one of the virtual columns of one of the virtual tables. Selected mapping information is retrieved that maps each selected virtual column to one of the polymorph columns. The virtual access request is converted into a polymorph access request according to an identifier of the selected virtual table and the selected mapping information. The polymorph table is accessed according to the polymorph access request.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2014Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventor: Gaetano Ruggiero

Patent number: 9407627Abstract: A login page is sent, by a backend server system, to a browser executing on a client associated with a user; and an authentication process is performed by the backend server system with the client. The logic page is intercepted by a proxy, and a modified logic page is generated by the proxy by adding a routine to the logic page. The modified logic page is forwarded to the browser, and the routine causes the browser to loads an asynchronous engine configured to execute a login process with an authentication profiling service to retrieve login information for the back-end server, and complete the authentication process.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2015Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Gianluca Gargaro, Gaetano Ruggiero, Patrizio Trinchini
