Patent number: 10506078Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for generating a centralized overview display from annotated data sources. One example method includes identifying data sources that each include data to be presented in a user interface. A set of annotations are identified, for each data source, that describe the data included in the respective data source. One or more visual representation types are associated with each data source. Each visual representation type indicates a type of visual representation to apply when rendering data included in the associated data source. A user interface configuration is generated based on the data sources, the annotations, and the associations between the visual representation types and the associated data sources.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2016Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: SAP Portals Israel Ltd.Inventors: Ioannis Grammatikakis, Ran Gross, Stefan Kusterer, Ariel Bentolila, Tim Back, Aviad Gilady, Itay Sagiv

Patent number: 10157068Abstract: A system for development, deliver, deployment and operation of an application includes at least one memory including instructions on a computing device and at least one processor on the computing device. The processor is operably coupled to the at least one memory and is arranged and configured to execute the instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to implement an application within a platform associated with a namespace for the platform, where the platform is one platform of a plurality of platforms. The processor implements a descriptor having an identifier that uniquely associates the descriptor with the application, where the descriptor comprises a single file that is platform independent and that includes a plurality of namespaces and application-specific attributes for each of the namespaces to enable the application to operate on multiple different platforms using the same descriptor.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2015Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Silke Arians, Volker Driesen, Iouri Loukachev, Tim Back, Peter Muessig, Andreas Hoffner, Markus Cherdron, Frank Brunswig, Alexander Lingg, Stefan Beck

Publication number: 20130205238Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, computer-readable medium and a method for transforming a color scheme. A processor is configured to retrieve from storage data including content elements defining a user interface screen in response to a user selection of a source color and a replacement color. For each content element of the user interface screen, a color of the content element is compared the source color. Based on the comparison, if the color of the content element falls within a predetermined threshold distance of the source color along a color palette, the color of the content element can be converting to the replacement color. After the processing of the content elements, the user interface is displayed on a display device, including the converted color element(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: August 8, 2013Applicant: SAP AGInventors: Martin ZURMUEHL, Tim BACK

Patent number: 8190567Abstract: A management application to synchronize e-mails sent or received from one application with e-mail logs of another application. If the groupware application receives an e-mail from a business partner, the e-mail may be stored in communication records maintained by the CRM application. Similarly, if an operator composed and sends an e-mail via the CRM application, the e-mail may be copied to the e-mail records of the groupware application. In managing this synchronization, it is sufficient for the management application to copy an e-mail from one application to the other. No further oversight is required.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2005Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Martin Dauer, Tim Back

Publication number: 20060075031Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for managing incoming potential bounce messages with user-created rules. Bounces that are not recognized by the SMTP may be identified and follow-up actions for these bounces may be performed. A user can create rules for analyzing an incoming message to determine whether the message is a bounce and select follow-up actions that will be performed if the message is determined to be a bounce. Further, manual verification of certain messages is possible if it is unclear that the message is a bounce. Management of bounces that are recognized by the SMTP is also improved. A user may create rules for determining a cause of delivery failure of formal DSNs and select follow-up actions depending on the cause of delivery failure, as well as other factors. Exemplary messages that may be analyzed include e-mails, SMS text messages and FAXes.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2004Publication date: April 6, 2006Inventors: Dirk Wagner, Tim Back, Hermann Lueckhoff, Thomas Schlatterer-Kaiser
