  • Patent number: 11205296
    Abstract: Rendering multi-dimensional data in a polyhedron, such as a cube, in a 3D environment allows for the ease of visualization of, and interaction with, the underlying data. The approaches herein allow for 3D manipulation of records within the underlying data by filtering the records across elements of a particular dimension. These records may be filtered by physically grabbing a ‘drawer’—a slice of data within the polyhedron—and removing the drawer to a separate space. That drawer then represents all of the underlying records filtered by that slice, and can be further manipulated by additional filtering, or by merging multiple drawers together.

  • Patent number: 10853396
    Abstract: A system for answering a natural language query (NLQ) directed to a database system. The system includes a query receiver receives the NLQ and models the NLQ as a tuple of entities including at least a subject entity and an intention entity. The system further includes a service discovery component and a query transformation unit. The service discovery component discovers a specific database system asset for answering the NLQ by evaluating system model descriptions of database system assets against the NLQ. The query transformation unit transforms the NLQ into a native service call for the specific database system asset, and invokes the native service call for callback of the specific database system asset to answer the NLQ.

  • Patent number: 10554768
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a contextual user experience (UX) that utilizes contextual information such as artifacts including quanta of data accessible to the contextual UX, user input, and information retrieved from other sources to determine relevant correlations of interest to the user, which may then be generated and displayed on a computing device. Also described is a method and system for a contextual UX that may generate related but personalized contextual UXs for participants in a shared interaction according to each user's context.

  • Patent number: 10503821
    Abstract: A workflow assistant can provide for improved memory aids and workflow management. The workflow assistant can retrieve context information from a base application to facilitate the creation of memory aids and workflow management items. Textual analysis can be applied to user input to determine data elements, data objects, assistant items, and collections that may be relevant to a memory or workflow aid. The workflow assistant can suggest actions for a user to take, such as based on text analysis of user input or the contents of a collection. Technical features such as a context analyzer that retrieves information from the base application for access by the workflow assistant can make the workflow assistant more dynamic and reduce the user interaction needed to create or modify a memory or workflow aid.

  • Patent number: 10460485
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for generating and adjusting multi-dimensional data visualizations. An embodiment operates by a computer implemented method that includes evaluating, by at least one processor, data to be displayed on a multi-dimensional data visualization and information associated with the multi-dimensional data visualization. The method further includes determining one or more parameters for the multi-dimensional data visualization based on the evaluated data and the evaluated information. The method further includes generating the multi-dimensional data visualization based on the determined one or more parameters, where the multi-dimensional data visualization comprises at least four dimensions. The method also includes graphically displaying the multi-dimensional data visualization.

  • Patent number: 10338908
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for a modularized application framework. The embodiments disclosed herein may be used in enterprise software and development platforms to quickly deploy new applications and updates, using a decoupled modular configuration executed by a core framework. An embodiment operates by loading a first and second module into a framework. Information and/or services may be transferred from the first module to the second module or vice versa using the framework. Then, the first or second module is unloaded from the framework while the other module remains functional.

  • Patent number: 10088981
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for communicating and collecting data across multiple applications through a single user engagement application includes displaying multiple applications and a single user engagement application in a single window. Each of the multiple applications includes a user interface and user interface data objects being displayed in the single window. The user engagement application includes a chat user interface and a collection user interface, where the chat user interface displays multiple chat threads and the collection user interface includes multiple collections of saved user interface data objects. The user engagement application is a separate and distinct application from each of the multiple applications. The method includes copying and inserting selected user interface data object into a selected chat thread in the chat user interface and posting the inserted user interface data object to the other users of the selected chat thread.

  • Publication number: 20170200133
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, devices, systems, and computer program products for dynamic task management utilizing contextual information and biosensor data to rank workflow items in order of importance. The dynamic task management system may use biosensor data to predict a user's emotional state, correlate the predicted emotion with specific contextual information, and use these combinations of data to rank and prioritize workflow items. The dynamic task management system continuously evaluates the combination of contextual information and biosensor data to generate a dynamic priority list displaying to the user the most important workflow items. The dynamic task management system may also present contextual artifacts to the user related to a respective workflow item.
