Publication number: 20040268306Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products display data in a selected language. A data record formatted in a language independent markup format is received and a style sheet associated with the selected language is retrieved. The data record is formatted based on the style sheet and the formatted data record is displayed in the selected language. Data may be generated at a first data processing system that displays text in a first language and provided to a second data processing system that displays text in a second language different from the first language by generating data values at the first data processing system and incorporating the generated data values in a language independent markup document. The language independent markup document may include an identification of a style sheet that specifies how to present the data values in the second language to provide the data record.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2003Publication date: December 30, 2004Inventors: Ken Prayoon Cheng, Kong Li, Masahito Kagawa, Toru Mori

Patent number: 6078324Abstract: A method is provided for signaling and acknowledging events associated with resource objects organized in a foldable object tree displayed by a GUI. When an event occurs on a resource object, an event indicator is placed not only on the resource object's icon in the object tree, but also on all the icons of the parent resource objects of that resource object to ensure that the event indicator is visible even when the object tree is folded. Events occurring on a resource object may be acknowledged by clicking on the resource object icon. When an event is acknowledged, the event indicator is removed not only from the resource object's icon but also from all of the icons of the parent resource objects for that resource object to ensure that the acknowledgment is always accurately reflected by the GUI display even the object tree is folded.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 1998Date of Patent: June 20, 2000Assignee: NetIQ CorporationInventors: Prayoon Phathayakorn, Her-Daw Che, Kong Li, Ching-Fa Hwang, Thomas Richard Kemp

Patent number: 5999178Abstract: A method is provided for enabling a user to select and manipulate resource objects of a given type by selecting a program of a type compatible with the type of the resource objects via the graphical user interface of a computer system. This is achieved by first controlling a cursor control device of the computer system to drag a program icon onto a resource object icon. Then, a type of the program is compared to a type of the resource object to determine whether the program can manipulate the resource object. If the program can manipulate the resource object, a visual display of the resource object icon is modified to indicate to the user that the program can manipulate the resource object. In response to the visual display, the user has the option of either electing to manipulate the object using the program by dropping the program icon onto the resource object icon, or of terminating the operation by dragging the program icon away from the resource object icon.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1997Date of Patent: December 7, 1999Assignee: NetIQ CorporationInventors: Ching-Fa Hwang, Her-Daw Che, Kong Li, Prayoon Phathayakorn, Thomas Richard Kemp

Patent number: 5829001Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method and apparatus for performing database updates in a distributed system having an originating database stored in a server and a partial or complete copy of the database stored in a client. In one embodiment, a database update system includes a server having a database, a network, and a client having a storage and software for accessing the database over the network. The client maintains the last update time of each table stored in its storage. The server maintains the modification time as an integral field of each record in the database. The modification time of a record indicates the last time at which the record was modified in the database. The client software requests copies of all records of a table stored in the client's storage that have a modification time that is later than the last update time of the table. In another embodiment, the server also maintains a modification table that includes a record for each table in the database.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1997Date of Patent: October 27, 1998Assignee: NetIQ CorporationInventors: Kong Li, Her-Daw Che, Wei-Jen Chuang, Prayoon Phathayakorn, Ching-Fa Hwang
