  • Patent number: 11416125
    Abstract: Techniques for displaying a runtime-generated dashboard to a user are disclosed. A system receives user information regarding a user accessing a system and determine a plurality of system features available to the user based on the user information. The system assigns each of the plurality of system features a rank and orders the plurality of system features based on respective assigned ranks. The system displays a dashboard comprising multiple shortcuts corresponding respectively to the plurality of system features. The shortcuts are ordered based on ranks of respective corresponding system features. Concurrently with displaying the shortcuts, the system displays a heterogeneous plurality of interface elements corresponding respectively to the plurality of system features. Each interface element visually indicates a type of interaction associated with the respective system feature. At least two of the plurality of system features are associated with different types of interactions.

  • Publication number: 20210081425
    Abstract: Techniques for system selection for query handling are disclosed. A query response selection system may receive a query from a user and determine attributes corresponding to the query and/or candidate sets of search results that may be displayed in response to the query. The system may select a response interface from one of a plurality of response interfaces for responding to the query. The plurality of response interfaces may include a conversational user interface and a non-conversational user interface. The system may display the response interface with a response to the query.

  • Patent number: 9892380
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to providing a user interface including a dynamic visualization of an entire current context of a user, which facilitates understanding and communicating the business knowledge in collaborative business processes. According to embodiments of the present invention, these visualizations can be context sensitive and dynamically adapted to the business process metadata, user's roles, user's location, and the applicable tasks. Embodiments of the present invention provide visualizations of the evolution of the entire context including digital information and the relationships between changed items. These visualizations can include but are not limited to a 360 view, a network/dependency view, and a time-based view.

  • Patent number: 9495480
    Abstract: A graphical user interface for searching information related to business objects includes a search interface having one or more user input fields for receiving data from a user related to one or more attributes associated with business objects. The search interface presents the one or more user input fields in response to a user context. A first tab displays information related to a set of business objects in response to a search based on the data provided to the one or more user input fields. A second tab displays information related to a business object in the set of business objects.

  • Patent number: 9405780
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for providing an enterprise crawl and search framework, including features such as use with middleware and enterprise application environments, pluggable security, search development tools, user interfaces, and governance. The system includes an enterprise crawl and search framework which abstracts an underlying search engine, provides a common set of APIs for developing search functionalities, and allows the framework to serve as an integration layer between one or more enterprise search engines and one or more enterprise applications. A computing environment can be used to display a global universal search box. A user can input search queries into the search box, which are then executed against crawled and/or searched data provided by the framework, and results, in the form of data represented by those searchable objects to which the user has entitlement to view, are returned dynamically, to update the contents of the search box.
