Mary Ellen Chaffin has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10235142
    Abstract: A method and computer program product for building a multiple layer object-oriented software application with reusable components. The method includes creating business classes containing a business logic for the software application, wherein the business classes are organized into hierarchies identified as namespaces, and then generating executable programming code for the software application. From there, the method may include placing the executable programming code into an at least one assembly structure for an associated layer, wherein a security token is required to access the business classes, and wherein the business classes are created to validate each security token passed by a user interface.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7761848
    Abstract: A method and computer program product for building a multiple layer object-oriented software application with reusable components. The method includes the steps of creating business classes containing business logic for the software application; reading templates utilizing reusable components from a template solution file; and generating programming code for the software application based on the created business classes and selected template. The multiple layers include a data layer, a data access layer, a business logic layer and a user interface layer with executable logic for each layer placed into a corresponding assembly data structure. Security tokens are required to access the classes and methods in either the business logic assembly or data access assembly. A serializable data assembly includes container classes that are used to pass data between the business logic layer and data access layer when a dataset or data table is not appropriate.
