Publication number: 20210385548Abstract: Allocating streaming content on a hybrid network can include searching for streaming content broadcast via broadcast signals over a broadcast network as a communications device is receiving the streaming content via a cellular network. Responsive to identifying, based on the searching, a within-range broadcast source broadcasting the streaming content via broadcast signals, the communications device can begin receiving the streaming content via the broadcast signals over the broadcast network and cease receiving the streaming content via the cellular network.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2021Publication date: December 9, 2021Inventors: Craig Anthony Farrell, Peter Guglielmino, Michael Edward Alexander, Stephen A. Laufer, Michael William Clanton, Fabien Lanne, Zygmunt Lozinski

Patent number: 11194919Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of receiving a request for access to data of a user, the request comprising an identification of a requestor and an identification of the data, determining, via a cognitive engine, whether or not to provide access to the data of the user based on context associated with the user, in response to determining to provide access to the data of the user, invoking chaincode which retrieves access to the data of the user from a blockchain and provides the requestor with access to the data of the user, and storing a result of the determination by the cognitive engine via the blockchain.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2019Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jignesh K. Karia, Michael Edward Alexander, Debojyoti Das, Deepa Dubey, Jitan Chandanani, Dipayan Ghosh, Steven Layne Canepa

Patent number: 11075817Abstract: A method includes: receiving information from a source; determining a situational context for usage of UE devices in a specific area based on the received information, the UE devices communicating over a communication network and utilizing bandwidth of the communication network; predicting a location of the UE devices, the predicting being based on the received information and the determined situational context; predicting a bandwidth usage of the UE devices at the predicted location; predicting that a current bandwidth of the communications network is insufficient to provide the predicted bandwidth usage to the UE devices, the predicting that the current bandwidth is insufficient being based on the received information and the determined situational context; and deploying an aerial device that provides additional bandwidth to the communication network, the additional bandwidth being provided at the predicted location of the UE devices.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2020Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Craig M. Trim, Michael Edward Alexander, Gandhi Sivakumar, Kushal S. Patel, Sarvesh S. Patel

Patent number: 10958758Abstract: The present disclosure uses data analytics for consumer focused autonomous data delivery in a 5G (fifth generation cellular network technology) telecommunications network. Data usage information is received at a control system, and the data usage information includes information about data downloaded by users at a venue. The data usage information includes content information about the data downloaded, the data being downloaded using a 5G telecommunications network. The data usage information is analyzed to determine content delivery using a service orchestration layer of a 5G telecommunications network in concert with smart channel monitoring tools of compatible platforms. A predictive analysis is generated using the analysis of the data usage information. A data action is initiated pertaining to the content for downloading the content, based on the predictive analysis, before demand for the downloading of the content, to provide faster service to end users at the venue.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2019Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Craig M. Trim, Kimberly Greene Starks, Michael Edward Alexander, Gandhi Sivakumar, Kushal Patel, Sarvesh S. Patel
