Patent number: 10567257Abstract: A method for bandwidth-sensitive content sharing can begin with the establishment of a content sharing session between two or more end-user devices by a bandwidth-sensitive content sharing system. At least one of the two or more end-user devices can be a mobile device having a network constraint and/or a data usage constraint. A bandwidth limitation can be determined for the mobile device from network connection data and user data. The bandwidth limitation can indicate a restriction to content sections of a content item the mobile device is to receive during the content sharing session. The content item shared with the mobile device can be filtered based upon a priority value for each content section of the content item. A content section can be an identifiable and discrete encapsulation of data within the content item. The filtered content item can satisfy the bandwidth limitation of the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2018Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Lori L. Adington, James P. Brancato, Joel Duquene, Brian S. Utesch

Patent number: 9636586Abstract: In a method for selecting a game element of a game and adjusting the game element during execution of the game, a processor retrieves a plurality of received game element feedback data from a plurality of users of a game, wherein the plurality of received game element feedback data was selected from a list of possible game elements. A processor selects the game element to be adjusted, based upon the plurality of received game element feedback data. A processor causes the game element to be adjusted during execution of the game.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2014Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Corville O. Allen, James P. Brancato, Tamera L. Davis, John E. Diller, Ollie J. Hales

Patent number: 9104236Abstract: An approach is provided to control information display at an augmented reality device. In the approach, a biometric value is received from a biometric input device. The biometric input device is a device that receives biometric data from a user of the augmented reality device. The received biometric value is compared to a number of previously established biometric input ranges that correspond to the user. Each of the biometric input ranges corresponds to a different display policy. The comparison identifies a selected display policy. The display detail of the augmented reality device is then automatically set according to the selected display policy.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2014Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James P. Brancato, Tamera L. Davis, Ollie J. Hales, Norberto Molina Olivera
