  • Mapping tool graphical user interface
    Patent number: 7676756
    Abstract: A graphical user interface and method for creating a mapping between a source object and a destination or target object are provided. The user interface includes a source screen region which displays a graphical representation of a source object, a target screen region which displays a graphical representation of a target object, and a mapping screen region which allows a user to create a mapping between the graphical representation of the source object and the graphical representation of the target object using graphical mapping indicia. The methodology includes displaying a graphical representation of a source object in a source screen region, displaying a graphical representation of a target object in a target screen region, creating a mapping between the graphical representation of the source object and the graphical representation of the target object in a mapping screen region using graphical mapping indicia, and displaying the mapping in the mapping screen region.

  • Function objects
    Patent number: 7159185
    Abstract: Methods and tools are provided for graphically creating a mapping between a source object and a target object. The invention includes function objects or functoids, which may be graphically linked between a source object and a target object in a graphical user interface of a mapping tool. The function objects include a script component adapted to perform a function, a graphical component allowing a user to use the function object in creating a mapping in a mapping tool graphical user interface, and an interface component providing access to the script and graphical components. The invention further comprises methodologies and tools for creating such a mapping using one or more of the function objects, as well as a method and tool for creating function objects.
