  • Patent number: 9532182
    Abstract: Retention, recommendation and collaboration of mobile based task sessions is provided. A processor searches for a matching mobile session from one or more saved sessions and available community sessions, provides one or more recommendation selections, and receives a selected recommendation for a current session or creates a new session as the current session. The available mobile resources are activated. A recommendation of mobile resources is provided. Any mobile resources used as part of the current session along a route to the destination location are recorded. A determination is made whether a new session is required and a recalculation is made for a new matching session. Information for a completed session is stored. The current session is stored as a new session with the corresponding initial location, destination location and resources used along the route to the destination location.

  • Patent number: 9094138
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which a data collection system loads a user interface form on a display screen. The user interface form includes an entry field and an extraction formula with a corresponding element type that adheres to an industry-specific schema. The data collection system receives a data packet from a broadcast device, which includes an element value and an element type identifier adhering to the same industry-specific schema. In turn, the data collection system determines whether the element type identifier matches the element type and, if so, the data collection system populates the entry field on the display screen with the element value.

  • Patent number: 8812551
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method for providing a browser functionality to determine the existence of a table, identify data therein and manipulate the data according to a user's input. Thus, a method for manipulating data tables in a client machine includes determining at the client machine, existence of a table via a loaded graphical user interface operable with a markup language; extracting data from the table; storing the data from the table in a local cache; manipulating the data in the local cache; and displaying the data in a user-defined table by applying a function within the graphical user interface. The table on the client computer can be generated by the graphical user interface loading a Web page from a server machine, a Web browser or can be operable with a Web browser. Alternatively, the function within the graphical user interface is a preset set of functions.

  • Patent number: 8671090
    Abstract: A method of utilizing a Web Service folder interface. A user defines a folder in a local folder directory as a Web Services enabled folder. The folder includes file data and metadata corresponding to the file data. The metadata includes a configurable Web Services type property that corresponds to a remote Web Service. The metadata also includes a configurable data handling property that includes one or more allowable file formats. When a user submits the file data to the remote Web Service by selecting an option in a pull down menu of a graphical user interface (GUI) or dropping the file data in a local output folder, the operating system (OS) sends the file data to the remote Web Service. The OS automatically converts an output file received from the remote Web Service into one of the allowable file formats and updates the local file data with the output file.
