The present invention provides for a server computer, a data processing system and an access control system. Data related to items that are supposed to be in the possession of an employee is retrieved from distributed data sources. A web page is generated using these data values for the employee's information and review. These data values can be stored on a chip card that is used for access control and/or control of the circulation of items within the premises of a company.

Data processing system

Systems and methods are provided for personalizing software programs in a computer system. In accordance with one implementation, default values for personalization data adapted to or harmonized with the individual needs or preferences of the end-user are provided to a plurality of end-users at start-up of a program. Further, two personalization levels are provided, including a first personalization level containing administrative personalization data which can be set by a system administrator, and a second personalization level containing individual personalization data, which can be set by the end-user. A data filing system for this personalization data may be of a hierarchical structure.

Systems and methods for personalizing software programs

Computer-implemented methods, computer systems and computer program products are provided for generating user specific web pages. Data related to items that are supposed to be in the possession of an employee may be retrieved from distributed data sources. A web page is generated using these data values for the employee's information and review. These data values can be stored on a chip card that is used for access control and/or control of the circulation of items within the premises of a company.

A method is provided to display a plurality of signals, on a display screen with an intuitive graphical interface, wherein a user has ability to monitor overall data from a single view. A plurality of signals having different frequencies and remaining in a complex relationship with each other may be visualized. Each signal may be displayed by using a symbol, wherein a quasi static signal is graphically depicted using a limit symbol while the dynamic signals are visualized using bar symbols. The symbols may be arranged horizontally, on multiple image planes, in close proximity to each other. A limit symbol may be positioned on the topmost image plane in such a way that if one bar reaches the limit symbol, the bar symbol is at least partially covered. The spatial relationship among the symbols is such that the user can easily determine if an actual signal output matches planned or scheduled output or if it does not exceed the total available capacity. A plurality of symbols may be allocated to correspond to a plurality of numeric values in such a way that numerical data directly corresponding to the graphical depiction is located in the same horizontal line as the symbols. Additionally, the user may be able to oversee the changes in signal in consecutive time segments.
