Patent number: 11176204Abstract: A method for accessing data stored in a database may include receiving, at an application, a request to load a data story that includes a software widget configured to create, based on a portion of data stored in a database coupled with a cloud-based analytics engine, a data presentation providing a visual representation of the portion of data. In response to the request to load the data story, a scripting engine associated with the application may execute a first programming code associated with the software widget. The first programming code may be executed to retrieve, from the cloud-based analytics engine, visualization data for rendering the data presentation. An in-app web browser associated with the application may execute a second programming code associated with the software widget. The second programming code may be executed to render, based on the visualization data retrieved from the cloud-based analytics engine, the data presentation.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2018Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: Business Objects Software LimitedInventors: Sanam Narula, Pak Man Chan, Noel Ray Barron, Nathan Wang

Patent number: 11023098Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to rendering on a mobile device. In one embodiment, a list of widgets to be rendered on a display stored in a priority queue. Widgets in the priority queue are sent to rendering software components based on a specified priority in the queue. The priority is based on whether or not the widgets are in a display area of a display. In one embodiment, data for widgets in the queue is retrieved during rendering of other widgets, and priority is based on whether data for a particular widget in the queue is available.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2018Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Walter Mak, Steffen Koette, Tsz Hong Sung, Yahui Ke, Nathan Wang, Sanam Narula, Shou-Chieh Chao
