  • Patent number: 11263645
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to social bookmarking and provide a method, system and computer program product for aggregating scoring of tagged content across social bookmarking systems. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for aggregating scoring of tagged content across social bookmarking systems can be provided. The method can include combining tag scores for a tag in content across multiple different social bookmarking systems into a single aggregate tag score and applying the single aggregate tag score to the tag in the content. In this regard, combining tag scores for a tag in content across multiple different social bookmarking systems into a single aggregate tag score can include computing either a simple or a weighted average of the tag scores for the tag to produce the single aggregate score.

  • Patent number: 11177999
    Abstract: A system and technique for correlating computing network events includes receiving a deployment request for a computing service and identify a deployment template corresponding to the requested computing service where the deployment template indicates resources needed for providing the computing service. Available resources are identified and targeted based on the deployment template. The targeted resources are deployed and the deployment template is associated in a memory with an identification of a resource set indicating each of the deployed resource elements. Responsive to receiving an event including a resource identifier, an event manager identifies the resource set having the deployed resource corresponding to the resource identifier and correlates the event with at least one other active event corresponding to the resource set.

  • Patent number: 10812491
    Abstract: A differential message security policy includes receiving information regarding activities of a user, determining a security risk for the user based on the activities of the user, and setting a security policy for the user based on the security risk. The security policy of the user may be modified based on a change in the security risk of the user or the security risk of the user exceeding a predetermined level. The security risk may be determined based on an aggregated scoring system that uses security variables related to the activities of the user.

  • Patent number: 10699242
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to social bookmarking and provide a method, system and computer program product for automated surfacing of tagged content adjunct to a vertical application. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for automatically surfacing tagged content in a vertical application can be provided. The method can include receiving and parsing text from content in an end user application, comparing the parsed text to social bookmarks and associated metadata from a social bookmarking system and matching portions of the content to respective ones of the social bookmarks and associated metadata based upon the comparison, and directing a visual emphasis of the matched portions of the content in the end user application, whereby the end user application is unmodified to perform the receiving, comparing and directing steps.

  • Patent number: 10623235
    Abstract: A method for correlating computing network events includes identifying computing resources to be deployed. An identification of a correlation pattern comprising a set of the resources to be deployed is received and a correlation identifier is assigned to the correlation pattern. Each resource of the correlation pattern is configured to include the correlation identifier with an event generated by the respective resource. The resources are then deployed in a computing environment.

  • Publication number: 20190303870
    Abstract: The state of network-accessible information is preserved by recognizing a reference to a uniform resource locator contained within an electronic file where the uniform resource locator provides an address for content to be preserved. A copy of at least a portion of the information associated with the recognized uniform resource locatoris obtained defining relevant content for preservation. A determination is also made as to whether the relevant content of the recognized uniform resource locator has changed since obtaining the copy of the relevant content. If a change is detected, an indication of the change is conveyed, e.g., to a corresponding user.

  • Patent number: 10387972
    Abstract: A processor receives a submission to post to a social media platform, wherein the submission includes content. The processor analyzes the content of the submission. The processor determines an impact of the content of the submission. The processor determines one or more objectives of an impact assessment, wherein each of the one or more objectives is associated with a potential impact. The processor compares the impact of the submission to the one or more objectives, based on the content of the submission which is analyzed. The processor determines an impact assessment, wherein the impact assessment is based on whether the impact meets the one or more objectives, and the processor performs an action based on the impact assessment.

  • Publication number: 20190174197
    Abstract: A method for providing configurable access to media in a media-on-demand system also can include delivering the media to a first client device in a format compatible with the first client device; interrupting the delivery of the media; recording a bookmark specifying a position in the media where the interruption occurred; and suming delivery of the media to a second client device, the resumed delivery beginning at a position in the media specified by the recorded bookmark. The method further can include identifying device properties for each of the first and second client devices; delivering the media to the first client device in a format compatible with the identified device properties for the first client device; and, delivering the media to the second client device in a format compatible with the identified device properties for the second client device.

  • Patent number: 10152712
    Abstract: 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.
