Patent number: 11194851Abstract: A method and system for generating summary details is provided. The method includes retrieving event data of associated with a user. Attributes are extracted from the event data and the event data is segmented into logical groups of related activities performed by the user. Key information and associated attributes of each logical group are identified and in response the user is evaluated. The logical groups of related activities are ranked and presented to the user. In response, an engagement summary associated with the user and the logical groups is generated.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2020Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Peter H. Burton, Donna K. Byron, Manvendra Gupta

Patent number: 10915511Abstract: A method and system for automatically determining a processing path is provided. The method includes generating an input criteria associated with performing a hardware apparatus implemented process. Metadata describing the input criteria is generated and stored. Weighting factors associated with the metadata are generated and a specialized hardware apparatus executing the hardware apparatus implemented process is enabled. Measurement characteristics associated with conditions resulting from the specialized hardware apparatus executing the hardware apparatus implemented process are retrieved from a plurality of hardware sensors. A resource database catalog for hardware based data processing resources is queried and an optimization process for determining an optimized processing path for processing the metadata with respect to the resource database hardware based data and the measurement characteristics is executed.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2019Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Peter H.

Patent number: 10902151Abstract: An approach is provided for securing data. A concept associated with a domain is identified as a concept of data in a first call. The identified concept is associated to policies. Based on (i) a determination that attribute names of the data in a second call match a second concept associated with the domain and (ii) a match between a pattern and field values of the data, the second concept is identified as the previously identified concept associated with the first call and an inference score is determined. Based on the inference score exceeding a threshold and the second concept being associated with the policies, the second call is blocked, thereby securing the data according to the policies, before a completion of a transaction that includes the second call, and without requiring a validation of the second concept by a human administrator.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2019Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Peter H.

Patent number: 10659840Abstract: A computer receives one or more media content source locations. The computer determines two or more media content items associated with the one or more received media content source locations. The computer negotiates digital rights associated with the two or more media content items. The computer pre-fetches the two or more media content items from the one or more media content source locations. The computer determines at least one digital characteristic of a first media content item of the two or more media content items does not match at least one digital characteristic of a second media content item of the two or more media content items. The computer resamples the first media content item of the two or more media content items.

Patent number: 10360403Abstract: An approach is provided for securing data. Concept expansion on a data structure and names of attributes of the data is performed. Values of fields of the data are matched to a pattern in a repository that includes patterns that specify concepts. Based on the concept expansions and the field values matched to the pattern, a concept of the data is identified and an inference score is determined. The inference score indicates whether the identified score requires a validation. If the inference score exceeds a threshold score, a policy associated with the concept is identified and an action to secure the data based on the policy is performed. If the inference score does not exceed the threshold score, (i) a validation of the concept is received or (ii) an indication that the identified concept is not valid and a new concept of the data are received.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2017Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Peter H.

Patent number: 10284634Abstract: A system, program and method are provided for monitoring and detecting changes for infrastructure orchestration templates. A computer provisions a stack using an existing template. The computer detects a change in the stack, wherein the detecting includes comparing at least one configuration element of the stack to at least one definition stored within a repository of a system. The computer determines whether the change is relevant to the existing template. In response to the change being relevant, the computer determines a type of change in the stack. The computer performs either updating a relevant section of the existing template or creating a new template by adding a new portion, which defines a new configuration element according to the type of change in the stack.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Peter H.
