Hybrid contextual floor plans for object instances
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing a user interface for running business entities wherein data related to a process instance and data related to an object instance are managed in a uniform way, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- enabling a generalized meta model to unify process data and object data where there is a direct relationship between process and object instance;
enabling an interface generator for directly generating a user interface from the generalized meta model, that allows the user to manipulate data either directly by manipulating the object data or indirectly by performing a process step; and
enabling the user interface by the interface generator, the user interface providing a hybrid view of a process view representing phase data of an instantiated process instance and an object view representing object data of an instantiated object instance.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for hybrid contextual floor plans for object instances. A method for providing a user interface for running business entities wherein data related to a process instance and data related to an object instance are managed in a uniform way, includes enabling a generalized meta model to unify process data and object data where there is a direct relationship between process and object instance, enabling an interface generator for directly generating a user interface from the generalized meta model, that allows the user to manipulate data either directly by manipulating the object data or indirectly by performing a process step, and enabling the user interface by the interface generator, the user interface providing a hybrid view of a process view representing phase data of an instantiated process instance and an object view representing object data of an instantiated object instance.
