Publication number: 20140038583Abstract: A mobile data network includes a breakout appliance at the edge of the mobile data network and an appliance in the core network that includes multiple enclosures. Each appliance has defined interfaces and defined commands on each interface that allow performing all needed functions on the appliances without revealing details regarding the hardware and software used to implement the appliances. An aggregate appliance in the mobile data network defines high-level commands, which each have a corresponding set of steps that are performed when the high-level command is executed. Each step causes one or more of the defined commands to be executed on the breakout appliance and/or the appliance in the core network and/or one a related software entity. This aggregated appliance allows configuring and controlling the breakout appliance and the appliance in the core network in a way that is transparent to most existing components in the mobile data network.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2012Publication date: February 6, 2014Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: William F.

Publication number: 20140040880Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for evaluating an application to determine a processing environment suited for executing the application. A request may be received to execute the application. If execution data identified for the application do not satisfy a first set of criteria, the application is deployed for execution on a first processing environment. If the execution data satisfy the first set of criteria, the application is deployed for execution partially in time on a second processing environment, based on the execution data. The second processing environment provides a higher capability than the first processing environment in terms of at least one resource type.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2012Publication date: February 6, 2014Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Sean T.

Publication number: 20140038154Abstract: Method, system, and computer program product for performing an operation for automatic electronic book augmentation. The operation presents an electronic book via a display screen of an electronic device, and identifies user preferences. The operation then determines a current reading position of a user within the electronic book. The operation then identifies, based on the user's current reading position, a context within the electronic book. The operation then identifies, based on the context and the user preferences, sensory effects to enhance the user's experience. The operation then outputs the sensory effects.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2012Publication date: February 6, 2014Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Sean T.

Publication number: 20140040721Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for serving a webpage based on a zoom level. The techniques include requesting, by a client device, contents of a webpage. The request may include indications of a zoom level and a viewable area of the webpage as shown on a display of the client device. A server system may determine that the zoom level indicated in the request is less than a threshold value and identify content items within the viewable area which meet predefined criteria for being considered expensive. Further, the server system may serve a modified webpage which includes replacement items in lieu of the expensive content items.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2012Publication date: February 6, 2014Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Sean T.

Publication number: 20140022985Abstract: Mobile network services are performed in a mobile data network that includes a radio access network and a core network. A breakout component in the radio access network breaks out data coming from a basestation connected to user equipment, and hosts edge applications that perform one or more mobile network services at the edge of the mobile data network. When a breakout component is not running a needed edge application, and the needed edge application is running in a neighboring basestation, the breakout component can route the request for the needed edge application to the neighboring basestation via the overlay network. The neighboring basestation processes the request using the needed edge application, then returns the data to the original basestation via the overlay network. The original basestation thus maintains the subscriber session with the user equipment while offloading the work of the needed application to a neighboring basestation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2012Publication date: January 23, 2014Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Michael T.

Patent number: 8611208Abstract: A mechanism provides autonomic recovery for a breakout appliance at the edge of a mobile data network from a variety of errors using a combination of hardware, software and network recovery actions. The recovery actions proceed upon a sliding scale depending on the severity of the problem to achieve the goals of minimizing disruption to traffic flowing through the NodeB while also maintaining an acceptable cost of ownership/maintenance of the system by automatically recovering from as many problems as possible. The error recovery functions within the breakout system hide the error recovery complexities from the management system upstream in the mobile data network. For critical, non-recoverable errors, the autonomic recovery mechanism works in conjunction with a fail-to-wire module to remove the breakout system in the event of a failure in such a way that the mobile data network functions as if the breakout system is no longer present.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2011Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: William F. Berg, Michael T. Kalmbach, Mark D. Schroeder

Patent number: 8527760Abstract: In an embodiment, a first device detects a first interaction between the first device and a second device. The first device assigns a first rating of the first interaction. The first device calculates an internal trust for the second device based on the first rating and a first time since the occurrence of the first interaction. The first device receives trust data from a third device. The first device calculates a community trust for the second device based on the trust data and an internal trust that the first device has for the third device. The first device calculates a total trust that the first device has for the second device based on the community trust and the internal trust that the first device has for the second device. If the total trust is less than a minimum threshold, the first device disallows a second interaction.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2011Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nathan G. Faiman, Michael T. Kalmbach, Jared W. Patterson, Kevin Wendzel
