  • Patent number: 10360245
    Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product for deriving target attribute values based on source attributes defined by a hierarchical data mode are disclosed. An attribute value derivation function to change a target attribute data value corresponding to a source attribute stored in a hierarchical data model and an instruction corresponding to the source attribute are provided. The attribute value derivation function is defined by an attribute value derivation header containing metadata describing hierarchical data model and an attribute value derivation instruction for deriving the target attribute based on the source attribute. Using the attribute value derivation function, a target attribute data value is derived. A user interface is generated to display the derived target attribute data value.

  • Patent number: 9996559
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product for performing maintenance actions and user-specific settings of the attribute value derivation instructions set user interface are disclosed. A maintenance function is provided for changing a target attribute data value corresponding to a source attribute stored in a hierarchical data model. An instruction corresponding to the source attribute is also provided. Using the maintenance function, the target attribute data value is changed. Based on at least one user setting, a user interface for displaying the hierarchical data model and the changed target attribute data value is generated.

  • Patent number: 9976523
    Abstract: A method and diagnostic facility for checking a plurality of magnetic valves in a high-pressure tank system of a motor vehicle is described. A magnetic valve is activated for opening the magnetic valve. A pressure in a high-pressure tank system is measured while activating the magnetic valve. A valve is determined to be defective if during measuring the pressure a drop in pressure is found.

  • Patent number: 9875288
    Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product for filtering data stored in a hierarchical data model for use by an attribute value derivation are provided. At least one filtering mechanism to filter at least one instruction containing at least one target attribute value corresponding to at least one source attribute value combination stored in a hierarchical data model is provided. The instruction is filtered using the filtering mechanism. A user interface for displaying the hierarchical data model containing the filtered instruction is generated.

  • Patent number: 9246869
    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 opportunity business object.

  • Patent number: 8478784
    Abstract: A system receives output geographic information en masse from a server. The output geographic information corresponds to input geographic information provided to the server en masse. The system builds a database that indexes at least some of the output geographic information to at least some of the input geographic information, attempts to locate specific output geographic information in the database, and determines the specific output geographic information by calculation if the specific output geographic information cannot be located in the database.

  • Publication number: 20040044469
    Abstract: Displaying a road map in a transportation planning computer program includes receiving data for the road map, rendering the road map from the data, augmenting the road map with landmark information, and toggling between a route view of the road map and a symbolic view of the road map. The route view displays a driving route between two locations on the road map. The symbolic view displays straight lines between locations on the road map.
