Patent number: 9514745Abstract: Provided are techniques for voice focus enabled by predetermined triggers. Voice recognition is used to identify one or more pre-determined triggers from a voice of a speaker. In response to identifying the one or more pre-determined triggers, a voice recognition template is dynamically created for the voice of the speaker, and the voice recognition template and voice isolation are used to focus on the voice from the speaker.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2015Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hobert Bush, III, James E.

Patent number: 9251339Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to core dump generation during application fault handling and provide a method, system and computer program product for privacy preservation of core dump data during application fault handling. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for privacy preservation of core dump data during application fault handling can be provided. The method can include receiving a crash signal for an application and generating a core dump with object data for the application. The method further can include obfuscating the object data in the core dump and writing the core dump with obfuscated object data to a file. In this way, the privacy of the object data in the core dump can be preserved.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2007Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul K. Bullis, James E. Fox, Daniel P. Julin, Martin J. Trotter

Patent number: 9147182Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for prioritizing responses to communications. Various metrics (e.g., the duration of time spent in creating the communication, the number of keystrokes used in creating the communication, the number of words used in creating the communication, the number of mistakes made and corrected in creating the communication, and the number of attachments to the communication) associated with creating a communication are recorded which are used to assess an effort provided by the author in creating the communication. A weighted priority to be associated with responses to the communication is determined based on these recorded metrics. The weighted priority is then assigned to responses to such a communication. In this manner, the responses to the created communication will be able to be prioritized based on the weighted priority thereby enabling the author to determine which responses are more important to read than other responses.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2012Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kyle G. Brown, Tendai P. Chinoda, Tony J. Efremenko, James E. Fox, Emilio F. Zegarra
