Patent number: 11048620Abstract: Aspects capture test coverage in a distributed system, wherein a processor instigates execution of a unique hypertext transfer request protocol test case within a distributed system of different, networked servers. The header of the unique test case includes a unique name for the unique test case, and the distributed system servers are each configured to, in response to processing a test case, generate a time-stamped log entry that includes header data for the processed test case and a uniform resource locator address of the processing server. The processor thus maps the unique test case to a subset of the distributed system servers as endpoint servers of the unique test case, in response to determining that the uniform resource locator addresses of each of the subset endpoint servers are listed within generated log entries of the endpoint servers in association with the unique test case name.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Adam G. Archer, Herman S. Badwal, Miran Badzak, Robin Y. Bobbitt, Mark T. Duquette, Christopher M. Lee-Shanok, Robert Retchless, Lauren H. Schaefer, Christopher N. Taylor

Patent number: 10701019Abstract: Aspects provide message queue management as a function of processing time estimation, wherein a processor stores a message directed to a user from a messaging server in a distraction queue, and predicts a processing time required by the user to process the received message as a function of sender identity or of an identified message topic or type. The processor increments a processing time counter value for the distraction queue with the predicted processing time of the message, and notifies the user of the received message and all other messages currently saved to the distraction queue in response to determining that the incremented processing time counter value meets a threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2019Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Adam G. Archer, Herman S. Badwal, Robin Y. Bobbitt, Christopher M. Lee-Shanok, Robert Retchless, Lauren H. Schaefer, Christopher N. Taylor

Patent number: 9378410Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes identifying one or more subjects appearing in an image captured by a mobile device. One or more approval statuses are determined, and an approval status is associated with each of the one or more subjects appearing in the image. Determining the one or more approval statuses includes searching, by a computer processor of the mobile device, within stored data for a blanket approval status applicable to the image for each subject in the image. A blanket approval status specifies an approval status to be applied for images captured in certain circumstances. The one or more approval statuses of the one or more subjects are displaying in association with the image, on the mobile device. It is determined whether the image is approved for publication based on the one or more approval statuses of the one or more subjects in the image.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2014Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Herman S. Badwal, Miran Badzak, Robert Retchless, Fariz Saracevic, Lauren H. Schaefer, Chris N. Taylor
