Patent number: 11201789Abstract: An augmented connection graph can be created based on a task to be performed by a fog computing node by augmenting a connection graph representing plurality of IoT devices and connections among them. The augmenting can include adding to the connection graph data type nodes representing types of data processed by the fog computing node and adding connections between the data type nodes and IoT devices that generate the type of data represented by the respective data type nodes. A connection can be added between each pair of the IoT devices that are not currently connected and for which a level of correlation between the pair of IoT devices at least equals a threshold value. Based on the augmented connection graph, at least one of the IoT devices to assign to the fog computing node can be determined and assigned to the fog computing node.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2021Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignees: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION, NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTHInventors: Peter Keane, Faisal Ghaffar, David W.

Patent number: 10834019Abstract: An indicator can be received from a client device. The indicator can indicate an agreement by a user of the client device to share device resources of the client device with an entity distinct from the client device and distinct from the user of the client device. Responsive to receiving from the mobile device the indicator, and responsive to receiving a message from a sharing agent of the mobile device indicating that that no user inputs are received by the mobile device over a particular duration of time and that video content is not being streamed to the mobile device, a client access agent can access the shared resources, data to be processed by the shared device resources can be communicated to the mobile device, and a level of a quality of service provided by a communication network to the mobile device can be increased.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignees: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION, NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELANDInventors: Jonathan Dunne, Paul B. French, James P. Galvin, Jr., David W. Malone, Patrick J. O'Sullivan

Patent number: 10284490Abstract: An indicator can be received from a client device. The indicator can indicate an agreement by a user of the client device to share device resources of the client device with an entity distinct from the client device and distinct from the user of the client device. Responsive to receiving from the mobile device the indicator indicating the agreement of the user of the of the mobile device to share the device resources of the mobile device with the entity, a level of a quality of service provided by a communication network to the mobile device can be increased. The mobile device can be allowed to enter sleep mode only after a particular duration of time in which use of the device resources has been shared or when a charge level of a battery providing power to the mobile device falls below a threshold level.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2018Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignees: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION, NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELEANDInventors: Jonathan Dunne, Paul B.
