  • Patent number: 10963262
    Abstract: Improved data pipelines are provided. A request to activate a first pipeline based on a first pipeline definition is received. The first pipeline is generated based on the first pipeline definition, wherein generating the first pipeline includes generating a reusable processing module at a first position within the first pipeline, and generating a downstream processing module at a second position within the first pipeline, where the downstream processing module selectively sends output data to the reusable processing module, such that data processed by the first data pipeline will be processed by the identified reusable processing module at least twice. The first pipeline is activated.

  • Patent number: 10679182
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for facilitating a meeting is implemented in a server computer and provides a graphical user interface to one or more client devices. The server displays a mind map of a center topic on the clients. The server collects statements of participants, and extracts words and phrases therefrom, to identify topics that are currently being discussed. The server determines whether a transition has occurred between the topics, and then calculates a correlation between the topics that are currently being discussed and the center topic. The server determines a location of the topics that are currently being discussed on the mind map, based on the calculated correlation, and displays an updated mind map on the clients. The server generates a warning on the clients when the server determines that the meeting proceedings are being retarded, based on the calculated correlation.

  • Patent number: 10599440
    Abstract: Provided is a method, wherein the system includes an existing pipeline having at least one processing module that is activated and information relating to the existing pipeline. The system operating method includes detecting a processing module to be shared that is shared with the existing pipeline, among the processing modules included in a new pipeline that is newly activated or in an activated pipeline that is already activated; and connecting a non-shared processing module that is not the processing module to be shared, among the processing modules included in the new pipeline or in the activated pipeline, to a shared processing module corresponding to the processing module to be shared in the existing pipeline.

  • Patent number: 7030889
    Abstract: According to the data display method of the present invention, one or more parts of the data to be displayed in a display area are displayed in full, while the other parts of the data are displayed in predetermined abridged forms representing the parts of data that are not displayed (i.e. abridged data). When the predetermined abridged form representing the abridged data is selected, one or more parts of the data contents are fully displayed and the other parts are abridged. Further, when the data displayed in full is selected, an input operation for the data is initiated. In addition, the contents of the abridged data that are not displayed are not read from a database, and the first data row and the number of data rows in the abridged data group, are stored.
