Patent number: 10521433Abstract: A query device for conducting automated user identification using a domain specific query language is described. The domain specific language is a computer language specially adapted for use in the healthcare domain. The domain specific language includes specific syntax suitable to the medical or healthcare industries, and is structured in the form of a string for processing. The domain-specific query is automatically processed and delineated into one or more processing sections. The domain-specific query is specifically structured for improved efficiency through iterative processing of the one or more processing sections, where each of the one or more processing sections is classified and mapped to a specific filter. Each filter represents a programmatic mechanism for automatically conducting a query against one or more backend data storages or other datasets to return a list of users or equipment that meet the criteria of the filter. Corresponding methods, and computer readable media are described.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2017Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: RLDATIX NORTH AMERICA INC.Inventors: Thomas Belcher, Simon McKenna

Patent number: 10515610Abstract: A floating window processing method and apparatus is disclosed. The method includes: displaying a floating window in a target display area of a display screen; obtaining an operation signal that works on the floating window; determining a form variation parameter of the floating window according to the operation signal; and dynamically regulating a display form of the floating window, the display form including a display location and/or size. With this disclosure, a problem that a floating window is displayed in a fixed location on a screen, causing great inconvenience for watching other content that is displayed out of the floating window is resolved, a moving function and a zoom function of the floating window are extended. Therefore, it is convenient for the user to watch the other content that is displayed out of the floating window.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2017Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: TENCENT TECHNOLOGY (SHENZHEN) COMPANY LIMITEDInventor: Yulong Ying

Patent number: 10496291Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for maintaining data integrity during data migration are described herein. The systems and methods describe a data migration application that may be installed and executed on a computer device. The data migration application may be connected with multiple data systems via computer network. An authorized user may access the data migration application to migrate data between data systems such as from data source systems to destination systems. In case there is loss of data due to data system interruption, e.g. if a server is abruptly stopped, or software upgrade occurs, the data migration application may create backup data of the failed data migration. The data migration application may reinitiate the data migration to restore the data into the destination system.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2015Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Narasimhan Badrinarayanan, Srinath Krishnan, Kannan Andireddi

Patent number: 10459992Abstract: As provided herein, a user of a client device may perform a search to generate a search results webpage. The search results webpage may be populated with links to webpages along with selection options used to selectively designate which webpages to open. The user may select one or more of the selection options, such as a first selection option for a first webpage and a third selection option for a third webpage. Accordingly, the first webpage may be presented within a first user interface tab and the third webpage may be presented within a second user interface tab (e.g., the first user interface tab may be presented within a foreground and the second user interface tab may be presented within a background based upon the user selecting the first selection option before the second selection option). In this way, the user may selectively open webpages within user interface tabs.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2015Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Oath Inc.Inventors: Amol Ghanekar, John Peng, Bharadhwaj Narayanan, David Brandon Miller, Arun Krishnankutty Autuchirayll
