  • Patent number: 9336015
    Abstract: The present invention enables a three-pane page flow editor optimized for viewing and editing a page flow. It provides a visual representation of nodes/actions and the connections among them, enabling the ability to read and edit connections between nodes in a local area of the page flow without the overlaps between lines and crossovers once the page flow grows complex in real applications. In addition, it detects and resolves mismatches between annotations of a plurality of action outputs—representing data that an action can provide to a page, and a plurality of page inputs—representing data required by a page in the page flow. This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects, and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures, and the claims.

  • Patent number: 8762935
    Abstract: An abstract component model can be used to drive an editor by providing an underlying stateful model for component implementation without the need to re-implement details. The abstract component model can represent one or more artifacts, wherein the abstract component model contains a plurality of model objects. A lightweight structure model contains a plurality of structure objects, wherein each structure object is a data structure that represents how the abstract component model should look like at the end of an update cycle. Additionally, a model updater can match one or more structure objects in the lightweight structure model to one or more model objects in the abstract component model, and update each said model object in the one or more structure objects based on said one or more structure objects in a top-down, depth-first fashion.
