Patent number: 10165945Abstract: A mechanism is provided for interactively indicating information associated with a patient on a hospital garment. A set of questions is identified utilizing a set of information received from a plurality of sources within a medical facility. The set of information is analyzed for a set of key elements. The set of key elements is utilized to identify one or more questions from a search question database. The one or more questions are submitted to a request processing pipeline implemented by a healthcare cognitive system. Responsive to receiving a response from the request processing pipeline, one or more communications are identified to be sent to one or more hospital garments associated with the patient and/or medical staff. The one or more communications are sent to the one or more hospital garments to cause the one or more hospital garments to change a visual cue.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2017Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Fernando J. Suarez Saiz, Masaaki Takamiya, Vamshi Krishna Thotempudi, Adrian P. Vrouwenvelder

Patent number: 9628847Abstract: A mobile device controls content partitioning at a separate renderable content storage device of an item of renderable content into multiple partitioned content segments that are each less in size than the entire item of renderable content and that each fit within available memory of the mobile device. The mobile device renders on a display device of the mobile device multiple received content partition identifiers that each identify one partitioned content segment. The mobile device retrieves from the separate renderable content storage device a partitioned content segment of the item of renderable content identified by a user-selected content partition identifier. The mobile device renders the partitioned content segment. The mobile device automatically retrieves, in response to completion of rendering of the partitioned content segment, a second partitioned content segment using a second content partition identifier of the received multiple content partition identifiers.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2015Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Nathan A. Baker, James D. Creasman, Barry J. Pellas, Adrian P. Vrouwenvelder

Patent number: 9232263Abstract: A storable duration of renderable content, based upon available memory for storage of renderable content associated with a mobile device, is determined in response to detecting a request for a portion of renderable content via an input device. The request for the portion of the renderable content based upon the storable duration is sent to a renderable content storage device, where the renderable content is identified by a content identifier. A content partition identifier and the portion of the renderable content having a duration less than or equal to the storable duration is received at the mobile device in response to the request. The content identifier, the content partition identifier, and the portion of the renderable content are stored within the available memory for storage of renderable content associated with the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2009Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Nathan A.

Publication number: 20120172098Abstract: In one embodiment of the invention, game specific statistics for previously played games are obtained for each player of a game. Weights and corresponding generic attributes are associated with each game specific statistic. For each game specific statistics, a generic attribute score is computed based on the corresponding weight and generic attribute. In response to a request to play a game, generic attributes are determined for each role of the game. For each generic attribute of each role of the game, the generic attribute scores of each player are compared and a specific role is suggested for each player. If all the players accept their respective and suggested roles, then those roles are assigned to the players. If one or more players rejects a suggested role, that player may request a different role and another role will be suggested for that player.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2010Publication date: July 5, 2012Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: NATHAN A.
