Patent number: 10880732Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method and technique for caller authentication is disclosed. The method includes, responsive to receiving a call from a telephone unit, identifying a received encrypted identification object having information associated with an identity of a caller placing the call. A telephone number corresponding to the caller is identified and a decryption key associated with the call is generated by combining the telephone number with a decryption code. The identification object is decrypted using the generated decryption key and an identity of the caller placing the call from the second telephone unit is verified based on the decrypted identification object.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2019Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Vinicio Bombacino, Antonio Di Cocco, Leonardo Lanni, Andrea Tortosa

Patent number: 10171571Abstract: Provided are a computer program, method, and system for determining and assigning a default value to a current server response if the current server response is not received from the server within a time-limit. An indication of a submission of a request is transmitted to the server for receiving a current server response. A default value is assigned to the current server response if the current server response is not received from the server within a time-limit with respect to the current submission of the request. A set of operations being performed from the assignment of the default value to the current server response is logged. An actual value of the current server response is received from the server and the logged operations are rolled-back and the current server response reset to the actual value if the actual value is different from the default value.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2017Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Vinicio Bombacino, Paolo Cavazza, Leonardo Lanni, Andrea Tortosa

Patent number: 9158852Abstract: A system, method and/or software for using overlap between a first website area-of-interest map, associated with a first website, and a searcher area-of-interest map to help prioritize the websites returned by a search engine search. The area-of-interest maps are made up of geographic pixels respectively assigned with area-of-interest values. Overlap area is determined by comparing, on a pixel-by-pixel basis, corresponding pixels of the searcher area-of-interest map and the first website area-of-interest map to determine overlap pixels where the following conditions hold: (i) the first website area-of-interest map has a non-zero interest value, and (ii) the searcher area-of-interest map has a non-zero interest value.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Antonio Di Cocco, Leonardo Lanni, Gianluca Perreca, Andrea Tortosa
