| 20080301591 | WEB PAGE BACKUP ACROSS MULTIPLE WINDOWS - Provided is a desktop navigation tool (DNT) for navigation across multiple web pages, including the original and the second web page described in the paragraph above. An “UP” button enables a user to navigate from the new web page back to a different window, opened from a particular window. A “DOWN” (DN) button enables the user to navigate back to a window from which a particular window was spawned. This functionality differs from that found in standard “FORWARD” and “BACK” navigation buttons, typically found in a browser window, which only enable a user to navigate through web pages within a particular window. The claimed subject matter enables a user to navigate more freely and efficiently among multiple windows. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20080320034 | METHOD FOR CLIENT MANAGEMENT OF JMX MBEAN STATE - Provided is a method for maintaining state information on a JMX Mbean programming object and simplifying the procedure for creating and employing the Mbean. Prior to invocation of a JMX Mbean, a JMX properties object is created. When the JMX Mbean is invoked, the properties object is passed to the JMX MbeanServer interface. The JMX MbeanServer interface returns an updated properties object, containing all the state information for the new Mbean object. Each time the user make a call to JMX host via the Mbean object, the properties object is passed and, if necessary, updated. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090094269 | Generating BPEL Control Flows - Generating Business Process Execution Language (‘BPEL’) control flows to populate a data warehouse for analysis of data of an operational system including identifying source tables in the operational system and one or more corresponding target tables in the data warehouse; creating BPEL steps to represent links between each source table in the operational system and each corresponding target table in the data warehouse; determining a sequence for the BPEL step; and adding the BPEL steps to a BPEL control flow according to the determined sequence. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090119100 | ASSOCIATING ANNOTATION RECORDING WITH A CELL PHONE NUMBER - A method, system and computer program product for creating voice annotations during a mobile phone call. During the phone call a user engages a trigger on the communication device prompting the phone to first mute the device of the user, and then record an audible message. The audible message, or voice annotation, is automatically linked to the current call information. The voice annotation may be transcribed and stored as a textual annotation. The voice or textual annotation may be retrieved utilizing a graphical user interface (GUI). | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090119204 | ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR SELECTING THE BEST CARD FROM A COLLECTION OF CONSUMER CREDIT, DEBIT, AND DISCOUNT CARDS - A method, system and computer program product for enabling completion of purchase transactions by retrieving purchase card information from an electronic database of consumer cards and applying the appropriate card to the transaction. The database, managed by a central card authority, stores client account information for cards such as debit, credit, phone, and discount cards, which are accessible via a unique, secure login/access credential, such as a username and password combination. During registration with the central card authority, a client classifies key/important factors to consider when performing purchases. The central card authority is accessed by the client during purchases from a retail facility and/or other purchasing environment. The central card authority automatically selects the best card to utilize during a purchase, after weighing the important purchasing factors related to the credit, debit, phone, and discount cards registered with the central card authority. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090132577 | Method to Create Multiple Mbeans From a Factory Mbean - Provided is a method for creating a unique class of Mbean in which a “parent” Mbean generates and manages multiple “child” Mbeans. When a user requests the functionality of a particular Mbean, a specific type of Mbean, or parent Mbean, is called. The parent Mbean is a factory method that, rather than executing the request, generates a child Mbean to execute the request. The child Mbean is assigned a name that distinguishes the child from other children of the same parent and the process that called the parent is provided with the name. In this manner, the calling process may use the assigned name to access the specific child Mbean for future requests and the child Mbean is employed to store client state information. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090265335 | Automated Latent Star Schema Discovery Tool - A method, computer program product, and data processing system for computer-aided design of multidimensional data warehouse schemas are disclosed. A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a software tool for identifying a latent star schema structure within an existing database. This software tool performs a heuristic analysis of the existing database schema to locate potential keys and measurement fields. Database tables within the existing schema are scored heuristically as to their suitability as fact tables based on the key candidates and measurement fields. For each fact table, other tables from the existing schema are identified as possible dimension tables. Data from the database is then used to test the suitability of the fact tables and dimension tables. The identified fact tables and their associated dimension tables are then reported to the user to reveal a basic star schema structure, which can be used as a basis for further design. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20110222390 | Method and Apparatus for Selecting Options Located on a Media Disc - A method and apparatus for selecting options on a media disc containing data. In one embodiment, an option identifier associated with an external surface of the media disc by a sensor unit coupled to a media player is detected, wherein the external surface is an outer surface of the media disc. A presentation option corresponding to the option identifier is identified to form an identified presentation option. Media content associated with the media disc is presented in a format corresponding to the presentation option. | 09-15-2011 |
