  • Metadata based bi-directional data distribution of associated data
    Patent number: 11860956
    Abstract: A method may include receiving, at a search engine, an indication that a first data object was created. The search engine may fetch metadata associated with the first data object, the metadata including a description of the first data object and a binding expression including relational information between the first data object and at least one other data object. The search engine may add data from the at least one other data object to the first data object. The search engine may store the metadata and the first data object in an index of the search engine, the index associated with the first data object. The search engine may receive a search phrase. The search engine may generate a search result that includes the relational information retrieved from the index. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

  • Offline defaulting service
    Patent number: 11475050
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for providing default values for fields of data objects in an offline mode. One example method includes receiving, at a client device, a default group mapping that includes a default group identifier and a default value to be used as an initial value for a field. A field mapping can be received that includes a default group identifier and a field identifier. A request can be received while the client device is offline to create an instance of an object. A determination can be made that the field mapping includes a field identifier for a field of the object. A default value can be retrieved, from a local repository on the client device. A field value of the field in a created instance of the data object can be set to be the default value.

  • Machine learning process to enhance user experience
    Patent number: 11366737
    Abstract: Briefly, embodiments of a system, method, and article for receiving data from one or more clients, where the data indicates user interactions with one or more user interfaces (UIs) of an application. The data may be analyzed with machine learning to identify how users of the one or more clients interact with the UIs of the application. One or more parameters may be generated based, at least in part, on the identification of how the users of the one or more clients interact with the UIs of the application. One or more objects of the application may be modified based, at least in part, on the parameters to reduce user interactions with the one or more UIs.

  • OFFLINE CUSTOM CODE LIST ORDERING
    Publication number: 20200356220
    Abstract: Briefly, embodiments of a system, method, and article for synchronizing local meta data for an application, stored in a memory of a user device, with administrator meta data for the application, stored in a server, while the user device is in a first mode connected to the server are disclosed. The administrator meta data may indicate a list of selectable codes for a form document in a drop-down box reordered by an administrator from a default order. An application may be executed by the user device, while the user device is in a second mode disconnected from the server, to present the form document with the reordered list of selectable codes in the drop-down box. A user input may be received where the user input comprises a selection of at least one of the selectable codes in the drop-down box.

  • CLIENT SYNCHRONIZATION FOR OFFLINE EXECUTION OF NEURAL NETWORKS
    Publication number: 20190180189
    Abstract: Techniques are described for synchronizing existing neural networks to client devices for execution of the neural network in an offline mode. In one example method, a request to synchronize a trained neural network from a backend system to a client device is identified to enable offline neural network execution. In response, a neural network model defining the neural network is identified, wherein the model is associated with a current configuration. An input definition associated with the trained neural network is identified, wherein the input definition defines a set of data required as input for the trained neural network to execute. The set of data defined by the identified input definition is obtained, and a representation of the trained neural network is transmitted to the client device including an offline version of the neural network model, the current configuration of the trained neural network, and the obtained set of data.

  • Lifecycle for offline data
    Patent number: 10191658
    Abstract: Techniques are described for managing lifecycles of offline data on mobile devices. In some implementations, offline data instances stored at a mobile device are monitored based on a set of memory management rules. A memory management process maintains an offline data instance table identifying each of the set of monitored offline data instances stored at the mobile device and associates each instance with a timestamp identifying a most recent time of access satisfying at least one access type as defined in the set of memory management rules. In response to determining that a trigger associated with performing a memory management process has occurred, a period of time parameter from a last access corresponding to deletion is identified. The parameter is compared to a current time and the most recent time of access for each instance, and instances where the comparison meets or exceeds the period of time parameter are deleted.

  • Computing platform agnostic application server
    Patent number: 10091336
    Abstract: A method includes providing a cloud-side database storing data, an objects model of the data, and a user interface (UI) model of the data. The method further involves providing an instance of an application server coded in JavaScript, for example, in a Node.js cross-platform runtime environment. The instance of the application server coded in JavaScript includes the logic of an application coded to process the data. The application logic is executed (and data processed) on either the client-side or on the cloud-side. The execution of the application logic (and processing of the data) is dynamically switchable between the client-side and the cloud-side.

  • PROPERTY MODELS ON MOBILE DEVICES
    Publication number: 20170177686
    Abstract: A method for synchronizing business data in a networked or cloud computing arrangement between a model-based business application server and a client-side computing device, which can operate in either online or offline modes, involves providing, on the client-side computing device, a copy of a property model used on the server-side by the application server to process business data. The method further includes, when the client-side computing device is offline, processing locally stored business data on the client-side computing device with reference to the copy of the property model, and later, when the client-side computing device comes online, synchronizing the locally stored business data on the client-side computing device and business data stored on the application server side.

  • USAGE OF MODELED VALIDATIONS ON MOBILE DEVICES IN ONLINE AND OFFLINE SCENARIOS
    Publication number: 20170177696
    Abstract: According to various embodiments, systems and methods for validating transactions on a client device when it is operating in an offline mode are presented. According to the disclosure, the client device may receive an initial data synchronization from a server to generate a local copy of data. Additionally, the client device may receive a validation model from the server based on a set of validation rules. The client device may receive an indication to update a local copy of the data while the client device is operating in an offline mode. The indicated update to the local copy may be validating using the validation model. If successfully validated, the local copy of the data may be updated. When the client device enters an online mode, the local copy of the data can be synchronized with the server.

  • CONSISTENT INTERFACE FOR ACCOUNTING ENTRY AND PROJECT PROCESSING VIEW OF CUSTOMER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT
    Publication number: 20140006232
    Abstract: A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to an accounting entry and a project processing view of customer transaction document business object.
