Patent number: 10332418Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method of collecting data to provide a personalized nutrition recommendation to a user, including receiving input from a sensor and/or an interface of a wearable electronic device of the user. The input includes physiological factors and/or environmental factors measured by the wearable electronic device, the environmental factors including sun exposure and air quality. A processor connected to the sensor and/or interface predicts nutritional deficiencies based on the input. The processor generates a personalized supplement recommendation for the user based on the nutritional deficiencies. The personalized supplement recommendation is displayed to the user on a display connected to the processor.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2015Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Christopher James Hardee, Steve Joroff, Pamela Ann Nesbitt, Scott Edward Schneider

Patent number: 9384445Abstract: Business processes are implemented using a collection component for storing system knowledge comprising usage history and user input relative to activities within community of users, where the system knowledge comprises at least a folksonomy. At least one of a user client component interacts with the data collection component to enable a corresponding user to contribute user-derived information to the folksonomy and a monitoring component monitors activities associated with the community of users and interacts with the data collection component to contribute usage information to the system knowledge. Still further, a composition design application interacts with a user to build and/or modify processes built using services, wherein the composition design application recommends candidate services that can implement aspects of the business processes based upon information derived from the system knowledge.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2015Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ying Chieh Belinda Langner, Vijay Dheap, Christopher James Hardee, Heather Castelli Miller

Patent number: 8228380Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for informing a driver or an owner of a vehicle of visible problems detected by outside video sources. An on-board vehicle subsystem may receive a video image of a section of the vehicle (e.g., tail light of vehicle) from an outside video source (e.g., another vehicle, parking lot surveillance system). The received video image may be compared with stored video patterns of various sections of the vehicle. The on-board vehicle subsystem may identify a stored video pattern that substantially matches the received video image. The driver of the vehicle may be alerted to a problem (e.g., broken tail light) if the differences between the identified stored video pattern and the received video image amount to a problem.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2008Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Christopher James Hardee, Donna Casteel Hardee, Adam Roberts

Patent number: 7596583Abstract: Business processes are constructed and/or modified utilizing system knowledge including a folksonomy that stores information regarding a group of services usable by composition applications that collects system monitored services usage information and user inputs. In one aspect, candidate services are recommended and/or automatically updated/replaced, which can implement aspects of a business process from the group of services based upon information derived from the system knowledge. In another aspect, a composition design component interacts with a user to build and/or modify services based upon identified aspect of business processes to be implemented by services, wherein the component design component recommends candidate services that can implement the aspects of the business processes from the group of services based upon information derived from the system knowledge.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2007Date of Patent: September 29, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Belinda Ying-Chieh Chang, Vijay Dheap, Christopher James Hardee, Heather Castelli Miller
