Publication number: 20170337166Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products to perform an operation for validating and adapting a GUI structure to a screen of a client device. The operation comprises receiving by the client device a software agent together with a device dependent arrangement rule. The software agent is adapted for analyzing received GUI code for identifying GUI elements to be rendered on the screen and determining a relative arrangement of the rendered GUI elements. If the relative arrangement is not compliant with the device dependent arrangement rule, the software agent determines a distance between GUI elements of the relative arrangement and a relative arrangement of the GUI elements in accordance with the device dependent arrangement rule, amends the GUI code to re-arrange the GUI elements towards the improved arrangement, and re-renders the GUI elements for the screen using the amended GUI code.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2016Publication date: November 23, 2017Inventors: Matthias X. FALKENBERG, Stephan LAERTZ

Patent number: 9806957Abstract: A network-based communication and information discovery solution that pertains to network-accessible resources and the use of interlinks among resources. In one embodiment, dynamic interlinking of resources is proposed, wherein the resources reside in a web-based system and are accessible via web-clients. The resources can be representable by an administrator in a graph-like structure interlinking the resources with each other and thus defining a navigation model. An extended navigation model can be implemented by a user-generated, individual or collaborative interlinking functionality.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2013Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Matthias Falkenberg, Hendrik Haddorp, Stephan Laertz, Andreas Nauerz

Publication number: 20150058465Abstract: A portal is connected to a social backend. The portal comprises an integration component communicating with the social backend. Functionality of the social backend is integrated into the portal system by creating at least one portal object that is associated with at least one social object. The integration component comprises a portal listening component listening to events triggered by running applications of the portal, and creates an event list by filtering events associated with the social backend. A backend processing component keeps portal applications in synchronization with the social backend regarding changes on a portal side. A backend query component queries application programming interfaces of the social backend for current social objects and their states. A portal model processing component calculates actions based on passed in states of current social objects from the backend query component, and invokes corresponding application programming interface calls on the portal.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2014Publication date: February 26, 2015Inventors: Dieter Buehler, Matthias Falkenberg, Peter Fischer, Richard Jacob, Stephan Laertz, Simon Naegele, Juergen Schaeck

Patent number: 8646053Abstract: The present invention provides a security module for Web application, especially a portal application, using a rewriter proxy. The security module ensures that the rewritten URIs are appended by an authentication identifier for determining whether the rewritten URI has not been changed. Preferably, the authentication identifier can be generated by applying a secure hash algorithm and/or secret key to the original URIs of the remote resource or the entire rewritten URIs. When a client activates those URIs, a request is sent to the rewriter proxy. Before a connection to the access protected remote resource is established, the security module validates whether the URIs contained in the user client request have been changed by the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2010Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Stephan Laertz, Peter Fischer, Carsten Leue, Thomas Schaeck
