  • Patent number: 7570179
    Abstract: A wireless key is signal, having a key-specific identifier, is received, the key-specific identifier detected, and the signal transmission location is calculated. The signal transmission location is stored based on the detected key-specific identifier. Another instance of the same wireless key signal is received, its key-specific identifier is detected, and the stored signal transmission location is retrieved based on the detected key-specific identifier. Optionally, a wireless key signal is received at a user and repeated at a plurality of locations in a parking facility. A vehicle response is detected, and associated with one of the repeatings of the wireless key signal. A location of the vehicle response is detected based on the repeating with which it is associated.

  • Publication number: 20080183528
    Abstract: An intelligent business event adapter receives information technology (IT) events and raw data from a backend enterprise application to capture, analyze, transform, enrich, aggregate, and correlate application-dependent IT-level events into a business level event which is communicated to a business performance monitoring (BPM) server. The adapter comprises four modules: an Event Adaptation module, a business rules module, a data retriever module, and a data transformation module. The Event Adaptation module captures and analyzes IT events from the backend enterprise application. The business rules module stores business rules. The data retriever module is invoked by the Event Adaptation module to obtain business data according to business rules stored in the business rules module. The data transformation module forms business events to be forwarded to the BPM server.

  • Publication number: 20080183530
    Abstract: A mechanism provides a model-driven solution template-based approach for managed business services. Key assets of the business services are templatized and made configurable. The mechanism implements a metamodel describing standard service offerings that can be configured to meet specific business and operational requirements at a level of business process and system components. A cost and pricing model of service offerings helps assess the service costs and resource requirements based on a client's selection of standard and customized processes and system components. A supporting system solution is developed based upon underlying solution templates and solution artifacts as well as client-specific requirements.

  • Patent number: 6507856
    Abstract: A system for exchanging and merging messages over a network includes a server accessible by a plurality of remote browsers for transmitting a template including fields for information entry and a business system accessible by the server for generating a return document pursuant to information entered in the template on the browsers. The business system includes a first parser for receiving a document from a browser, the document including information about data characteristics of information entered into the template, and a second parser for receiving information about data characteristics to provide a return template. A merging algorithm is implemented to merge the document with the return template for providing a return document to the browser having portions of the return template with data entered therein.
