Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for Java development environments. The method commences upon receiving a set of one or more rules to be applied to one or more JSON messages, then generating of one or more Java classes respective to received JSON messages. The received JSON messages can be retrieved from a repository for JSON message files, or the JSON messages can be received by sniffing a message transmitted over a network link. The rules can be applied according to one or more precedence regimes, and applying the precedence regimes over the two or more rules can be considered in a pre-processing step performed before receiving a JSON message or can be considered after receiving a JSON message.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for moving objects such as a display window about a display frame by combining classical mechanics of motion. A window nudging method commences by receiving a discrete user interface gesture from a human interface device such as a mouse click or a keystroke, and based the discrete user interface gesture, instantaneously accelerating the window object to an initial velocity. Once the window is in motion, then the method applies a first animation to animate the window object using realistic motion changes. Such realistic motion changes comprise a friction model that combines sliding friction with fluid friction to determine frame-by-frame changes in velocity. The friction model that combines sliding friction with fluid friction can be applied to any object in the display frame. Collisions between one object and another object or between one object and its environment are modeled using a critically-damped spring model.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for displaying an automatically generated graphical display of a business process flow to facilitate user interaction with enterprise software applications. A compact symbolic annotation language is used in conjunction with a flow generator to automatically generate a computer renderable description of the business process flow. The method commences by defining symbols to form an alphabet to be used in the symbolic annotation language. The compact symbolic language is capable of representing rich semantics including process operations, fork operations, and join operations. Once an agent (e.g., a person, a computer agent) has captured a particular business process flow using symbols of the compact symbolic annotation language, then a computer process performs a mapping of the symbols to a markup language. The markup language can be rendered in a graphical display. The markup language can be HTML/CSS, SVG, UML, or another markup language.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for mobile device interface generation. Embodiments commence upon receiving electronic communication comprising form metadata describing a user interface form. The form metadata comprises one or more field identifiers, which fields of the user interface form are bound to JSON messages (e.g., to receive field data). The form metadata further describes data types pertaining to the form fields, and the data types pertaining to the fields are used to select one or more user interface screen devices from a repository. One or more of the user interface screen devices are associated (e.g., bound) to occurrences of the same JSON message as were bound to fields of the user interface form. The selected one or more interface screen devices are output in a format of data that describes the selected interface screen devices in a manner for deployment on corresponding a mobile device or devices.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for building JSON message relationships for offline operation of an enterprise application is presented. The claimed embodiments address the problem of mobile application behavior during periods of limited access to backend application services and data. More specifically, some embodiments are directed to approaches for capturing request and response information communicated between a client device and application server when connected by a network, and storing respective relationships using the captured information. The stored requests and responses and respective relationships are used to emulate the backend services provided by the application server when the client device is disconnected from the network. In one or more embodiments, a crawler on the client device can generate simulated online requests to build a set of information for use by the emulator when the client device is disconnected from the application server.

Abstract: Systems to gamify a data processing application using auditing data. Processing commences upon accessing electronic records comprising a set of application auditing specifications that identify one or more transaction types to be executed by a data processing application. Certain transactions corresponding to the identified transaction types are observed by an auditing facility during operation of the data processing application. At least some of the identified transaction types and measured audit parameters corresponding to the transactions are recorded. A gamification module associates the measured audit parameters with game parameters. Motivational imagery such as a scoreboard is generated for display.

Abstract: Certain aspects are directed to capturing data regarding physical states associated with a perforating string. In one aspect, a sensing tool is provided. The sensing tool includes at least one sensor and a processor positioned in an isolated chamber of the sensing tool. The processor samples data from the sensor at a first sampling rate associated with the deployment of a perforating string. The data is associated with at least one parameter with respect to the perforating string. The processor detects a trigger condition associated with a perforation operation of the perforating string. The processor switches to a second sampling rate in response to detecting the trigger condition. The second sampling rate is greater than the first sampling rate and is associated with the perforation operation. The processor samples data at the second sampling rate for a period of time in which the perforation operation is at least partially performed.
