  • Patent number: 11610164
    Abstract: A workflow project design system, method, and apparatus are disclosed. An example method includes creating a mapping between an executable version of an object-orientated process and an un-executable version of the object-orientated process. The method also includes transmitting the un-executable version of the object-orientated process and a toolset file to a client device for display in a web browser. The method further includes receiving from the client device a modify instruction to modify at least one of attributes or properties of the un-executable version of the object-orientated process and updating the executable version of the object-orientated process based on the modify instruction. Additionally, the method includes receiving an execution instruction to execute the workflow project, executing the updated executable version of the object-orientated process to generate a result of the workflow project, and transmitting to the client device the result for display within the user interface.

  • Patent number: 11023834
    Abstract: A collaborative design system, method, and apparatus are disclosed. An example method includes receiving request messages from a first client device and a second client device requesting a workflow project for design collaboration, creating an un-executable version of the workflow project from an executable version of the workflow project, and transmitting a copy of the un-executable version of the workflow project to each of the client devices. The method further includes receiving from the first client device, an instruction that is indicative of a modification to the copy of the un-executable version of the workflow project at the first client device and transmitting the instruction to the second client device causing the second client device to modify the copy of the un-executable version of the workflow project at the second client device. Additionally, the method includes modifying the executable version of the workflow project based on the instruction.

  • Patent number: 10657474
    Abstract: A collaborative design system, method, and apparatus are disclosed. An example method includes receiving request messages from a first client device and a second client device requesting a workflow project for design collaboration, creating a typescript version of the workflow project from an executable version of the workflow project, and transmitting a copy of the typescript version of the workflow project to each of the client devices. The method further includes receiving from the first client device, an instruction that is indicative of a modification to the copy of the typescript version of the workflow project at the first client device and transmitting the instruction to the second client device causing the second client device to modify the copy of the typescript version of the workflow project at the second client device. Additionally, the method includes modifying the executable version of the workflow project based on the instruction.
