Patents by Inventor Viktor Folmer

Viktor Folmer has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8843893
    Abstract: A modular framework may be provided for configuration checks that enable a developer to classify and describe each check and then subsequently search for checks and integrate them with other checks. Each check may include a dependency on other checks to create a hierarchy. Additionally, multiple checks may be combined. The combination of checks may be used to check configuration of specific processes or systems. Each check unit and business configuration check may contain keywords, descriptions, and documentation to enable the checks to be subsequently searched and reused in different applications. Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture may be provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8438379
    Abstract: A value of a configuration setting contained within a selected content unit of an application may be used as input for a configuration check algorithm to calculate a control parameter output. The algorithm may include logical operators, conditional statements, mathematical logic, and mathematical functions. The algorithm may be used to verify the correctness of the value. Different control parameter output values may be associated with different options in the automated configuration verification program. The options may include, but are not limited to, modifying an unsupported configuration setting value to a supported value, updating configuration setting values in non-selected content units, exiting the automated program and switching to a manual configuration setting change mode, and automatically updating a configuration setting value to a supported value without further intervention.
