  • Patent number: 11516298
    Abstract: Integrating a plurality of third party service interactions into a portal including a Web content management system includes receiving a data structure, associating the data structure with a selected profile out of a plurality of profiles based on the origin of the data structure, and transforming content of the received data structure, using a declarative mapping associated with the selected profile, into an intermediate data structure. The intermediate data structure may be provided to a presentation layer of the portal. A signal causing a rendering of the intermediate data structure may be triggered via a portlet of the portal to a display. Captured input from the portlet from the intermediate data structure may be transformed to the data structure using the declarative mapping associated with the selected profile. The data structure may be sent.

  • Patent number: 11481358
    Abstract: A method for adapting a workflow of a content management system comprises setting an allowed action for a user, creating at least one information item depending on the allowed action for the user, in which the at least one information item comprises content to be published and a first information item status level indicative of a present status level of the content within the workflow, and executing the workflow which comprises stages each corresponding to a respective information item status level, such that a next stage of the workflow is determined based on a combination of different types of user status information, indicative of a status of the user, and the first information item status level.

  • Patent number: 11330047
    Abstract: Work-load management in a client-server infrastructure includes setting request information in accordance with request semantics corresponding to a type of request from a client. The request semantics include different request-types provided with different priorities during processing. Within a server, requests with high priority are included in a standard request processing queue. Further, requests with low priority are excluded from the standard request processing queue when server workload of the server exceeds a predetermined first threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11023263
    Abstract: Rendering of a portal page that is displayable on a client system includes receiving a request for a portal page by a web portal engine, monitoring server-side aggregation and rendering performance by the web portal engine, and comparing a measured performance parameter value of the server-side aggregation and rendering against a pre-defined threshold value. The server-side aggregation and rendering is interrupted, based upon the comparison, once the threshold value is exceeded. Further, an intermediate result of the portal page is prepared based on the server-side aggregation and rendering for sending, such that a client-side processing completes the interrupted aggregation and rendering of the portal page.

  • Patent number: 11010360
    Abstract: A method for extending a tag of an information resource in an information network may be provided. The method may include providing a group of tags, stored in a database, in a user interface, and selecting at least one tag out of the group of tags and linking the tag to an information resource using the user interface. Furthermore, the method may include extending the tag, such that the resulting extended tag may be a semantically structured string of characters building a first expression including a first operand, a first operator and a first value, wherein the tag may be the operand, such that the extended tag is machine-interpretable by a parser, such that the information resource may be tagged with the machine-interpretable, extended tag.

  • Patent number: 10942984
    Abstract: A portal system comprises a portal connected to at least one social backend, a portal object generator for creating a page in the portal, and a backend processing component. The portal system further performs a method comprising: integrating functionality of said at least one social backend into said portal system; implementing association information as meta data entries containing information about a social object of said at least one social backend; receiving a notification about creation of new portal objects by an integration component; creating a new instance of a social object within said at least one social backend by said integration component; receiving a new identification from a newly created social object by said integration component; inserting new social object identification into meta data of said newly created social object; and representing said social object as a portal object to a portal user.

  • Patent number: 10929407
    Abstract: A trigger message indicative of a potential change to a publishing workflow is received. The trigger message is processed, resulting in a workflow modification message that includes a content item identifier, a related semantic identifier indicative of a semantic of the workflow modification message, and workflow characterizing metadata. The publishing workflow is retrieved by selection using the workflow characterizing metadata. At least one publishing workflow action of the retrieved publishing workflow is modified based on the workflow modification message, and the modified publishing workflow is executed.

  • Patent number: 10884731
    Abstract: A method for controlling a web application state in a micro-service architecture may be provided. The method loading a current state of the web application via a server-side state micro-service from a server state store upon a navigation to a website relating to a server-side micro-service of the web application. The method also comprises triggering a state change of the web application by a user interface control of the client user interface component, transmitting the changed state from the server-side micro-service of the web application to the server-side state micro-service, managing the changed state by the server-side state micro-service together with a state identifier in a server state store, transmitting the changed state and the state identifier from the server-side state micro-service to the state client, and notifying the client user interface component about the changed state.

  • Patent number: 10579510
    Abstract: A method and system for dynamically controlling publication of a changing web page. A delta vector of a change in position of a user interface control in a web browser window is invoked. The change in position occurred between a first time before a change to a web page that is already public was received and a second time after the change to the web page was implemented. A click speed component is invoked to obtain information on transition times between user interface controls including the user interface control within a click flow. A user interface control weight value is determined for the user interface control having undergone the change in position. A disruptiveness factor value is determined based on the delta vector and the corresponding user interface control weight. A test pattern to be applied to the changed web page is selected depending on the determined disruptiveness factor.

  • Patent number: 10331760
    Abstract: Methods of operating a web portal environment are disclosed. One such computer-implemented method includes: triggering rendering of a content item being specified by a feed-driven list definition defining a new web content type; reading entries of the content item by a first tag that creates a request attribute containing query relevant information; listening to the request attribute; creating a query; passing the query to a feed integration service; executing the corresponding remote API call; receiving a response from an external data provider; passing the response to the feed-driven objects extension plug-in; creating a rendering context which can be accessed by a second tag; and inserting the external data into markup by the second tag based on a set of predefined feed-driven list presentation components.
