  • Patent number: 10824685
    Abstract: Systems and methods for range programming using a search query are disclosed. A method for range programming using a search query includes determining whether the search query comprises a range operation and identifying a target application to launch using a search application which is separate from the target application and based on the search query. A range of results to process with the target application can be identified using the search application and based on the search query. The results can be separately within the range in the context of the target application.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9858092
    Abstract: Systems and methods for contextually launching a target application are disclosed. A method for contextually launching a target application includes communicating data from the target application to a search application. The data can be registered in a search registrar associated with the search application. Input can be received from a user using the search application. The input from the user can be compared with the data in the search registrar to obtain a result. The target application can be launched within the context of the input from the user based on the result.

  • Patent number: 8954879
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a system in which individual employee records can be updated across multiple services by an administrator at the interface to a particular service. Multiple services may be provided with this capability. This will eliminate the need in the current art for a central directory that contains a service description that will be common across all services. The technology eliminates the need for the development of this directory and the training of administrators in its interface. Administrators may utilize their training in one service interface to update records across multiple services. This will enable the more rapid development of solutions utilizing services from multiple vendors. Administrators need not be trained on interfaces for all services but can apply routine global updates from a convenient and familiar interface.
