Patent number: 10705583Abstract: A consumption device may be detected by a processor. At least one property of the consumption device may be determined. Based on that property, a power configuration for the consumption device may be determined. The processor may permit a finite electrical cell associated with the processor to power the consumption device according to that power configuration.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2016Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Derek R.

Patent number: 10095854Abstract: In an approach for automated vehicle authorization. A processor receives a first set of credentials from at least a first near field communication device, wherein the first set of credentials indicates information about a person. A processor receives a second set of credentials from at least a second near field communication device, wherein the second set of credentials indicates information about a vehicle. A processor compares the first set of credentials to the second set of credentials. A processor determines whether the person indicated by the first set of credentials has authority to operate the vehicle, based on, at least, the comparison of the first set of credentials to the second set of credentials.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2017Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Derek R.

Patent number: 9914359Abstract: A vehicle can be controlled based on feedback from a driver of the vehicle when a mobile device is connected to a computer system. A profile for a driver can be used. The system can receive data about the driver from the mobile device. The data and answers can be sent to a natural language processing (NLP) system for analysis. The NLP system can return a determination that the user is cognitively disengaged, and thus unable to safely drive the vehicle. The system can then control the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2015Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Derek R. Brewer, Kerry M.

Patent number: 9854015Abstract: An approach is provided in which a public protection system sends a data collection request to user devices located within a geographical proximity of an incident in progress that instructs the user devices to capture real-time data corresponding to the incident in progress. The public protection system receives the real-time data from the user devices and determines that a set of the real-time data includes evidence data corresponding to the incident in progress.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2014Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Derek R. Brewer, Kerry M. Langford, Robert D. Wilhelm

Patent number: 9590982Abstract: A method of accessing a network wirelessly is described. In the method an authentication is provided to access the network from a wireless device to a first network node via a first wireless signal having a first range. A proximity validation is provided to access the network through the first network node. The proximity validation is provided to the first network node when the wireless device is within a second range of a second wireless signal of a second network node. The second range is less than the first range. The method further provides for accessing the network when both the authentication and the proximity validation are valid.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2014Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: GLOBALFOUNDRIES INC.Inventors: Derek R.
