Patent number: 10832254Abstract: A first signature log generated by a first processing system is received, the first signature log including a first listing of at least a recorded series of user inputs received by a computer program. The first listing of the recorded series of user inputs can be compared to at least one historical log indicating at least one historical path, each historical path including at least second listing of a series of historical user inputs that corresponds to a historical endpoint in the computer program. The at least one historical path to which the recorded series of user inputs at least partially corresponds and a deviation between the signature log and the historical log can be identified. Based on a predicted endpoint, a predicted path corresponding to the predicted endpoint can be selected, and the predicted path and the deviation between the signature log and the historical log can be output.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2018Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Aaron M.

Patent number: 10152712Abstract: A user inspects at least one indicator of an event. The user enables a token corresponding to an account of an aggregating entity to be received by a transaction entity and identifies at least one type of event of interest to be reported by the transaction entity to the aggregating entity. The user obtains and inspects at least one indicator from the account of the aggregating entity, where each obtained indicator is adapted to be created by the aggregating entity based upon an event message received from the transaction entity. The event message comprises the token, which is adapted to be used by the aggregating entity to identify the account and the event message corresponds to an occurrence of an event of at least one type of event of interest to be reported by the transaction entity to the aggregating entity.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2006Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Brian C.

Patent number: 9529842Abstract: A system that generates display objects in a graphical user interface that enable the user of an application which accesses a data repository through result sets to dynamically construct a new query to show all database records having the same contents as a specified set of fields in a currently active database record. Display objects are further generated that enable the user to specify how the contents of the selected fields are to be matched (e.g. exact matching, inclusion, etc.) and/or logical relationships between specified field contents (e.g. Boolean operators such as AND, OR, NOT, etc.). In one embodiment, once a query is defined in this way, it is stored, for example in the user's profile, so that the user can access it across uses of the application.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2009Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Brian C.

Patent number: 9117187Abstract: For each of a plurality of the work items, at least a first parameter to be associated with the work item can be received and associated with the work item. Each of the plurality of work items can be compiled in a work item list. In response to receiving a request to present the work item list to the user, the work item list can be filtered, via a processor, based on the first parameter and at least a second parameter associated with the user that corresponds to the first parameter. The filtered work item list can be presented to the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Kimberly A.
