Patent number: 10908766Abstract: A method and system for managing overlapping windows. A hook filter intercepts an event directed to a target application before the event reaches the target application. The event is characterized by an overlapping condition in which a floating window partially or totally overlaps an active window on a computer screen of a computer system. Responsive to intercepting the event, the hook filter detects the overlapping condition. Responsive to detecting the overlapping condition, the hook filter eliminates the overlapping condition to make the active window totally visible. Parameters of the floating window are recorded in a table, the parameters prevailing upon the intercepting of the event, the parameters including an overlap condition parameter. After the overlapping condition is eliminated and responsive to the active window becoming inactive, the floating window is restored on the computer screen in accordance with the recorded parameters.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2019Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Frederic Bauchot, Jean-Luc Collet, Marc C. Fiammante, Gerard Marmigere, Joaquin Picon

Patent number: 10852144Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are disclosed for providing a measure of pedestrian congestion in a given area. In one embodiment, the method comprises collecting data from a pedestrian moving in the area, and using the data to determine one or more specified parameters representing a pattern of movement of the pedestrian in the area. These specified parameters are used to determine a sinuosity of pedestrian traffic in the given area. In one embodiment, the pattern of movement is a walking pattern of the pedestrian, and the data collected from the pedestrian identifies a multitude of positions of the pedestrian's feet. In an embodiment, the specified parameters include a lateral gap between the feet of the pedestrian, and a length of a stride of the pedestrian. A sequence of values may be collected for each of these parameters.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventors: Frederic Bauchot, Jean-Yves Clement

Patent number: 10657738Abstract: A method for identifying a trajectory for each vehicle involved in an accident. The method begins by plotting on a Cartesian Coordinate Plane GNSS locations corresponding to a vehicle involved in the accident. Next, the method identifies GNSS locations on the Cartesian Coordinate Plane where the vehicle was speeding. Next, the method marks those GNSS locations on the Cartesian Coordinate Plane where the vehicle involved in the accident was skidding. The process of plotting and identifying speeding as well as skidding is repeated for all vehicles involved in the accident. The Cartesian Coordinate plane then having all vehicle trajectories residing therein is sent to an output device.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2008Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Frederíc Bauchot, Jean-Yves Clement, Gerard Marmigère, Carole Truntschka

Patent number: 9946900Abstract: A method and system for dividing tagged items into subsets. A region is split into subregions. For each subregion, a central tagged item having more adjacent tagged items in each subregion than any other tagged item in each subregion is determined, utilizing information that includes, for each tagged item in the region, a spatial location of each tagged item and a list of all other tagged items which are adjacent to each tagged item by being within a specified constant distance (Rlimit) from each tagged item. A virtual boundary is outlined around the central tagged item to enclose the central tagged item and a portion of the tagged items in each subregion which are adjacent to the central tagged item. The portion of the tagged items in each subregion consists of all, or less than all, tagged items which are adjacent to the central tagged item in each subregion.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2017Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Frederic Bauchot, Jean-Yves Clement, Gerard Marmigere, Joaquin Picon
