  • Publication number: 20170192852
    Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable automatically detecting and preventing backup of content from a client system to a remote backup system based on specified criteria. Specifically, content on a client system is analyzed to determine one or more of content items to be backed up from the client system to a remote backup system. A set of content items from among the content items that match one or more specified criteria is detected. The specified criteria may include classes of content (e.g., document, text message, e-mail message, photograph, etc.) and contact names associated with the classes of content (e.g., creator, recipient, sender, owner, etc.). Responsive to detecting the set of content items that match the one or more specified criteria, the set of content items is prevented from being backed up to the remote backup system.

  • Publication number: 20170161236
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, computer program products, and systems for suggesting uniform resource locators located at previously unknown hosts to users. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to record uniform resource locators (URLs) associated with web resources accessed by a user and usage details pertaining to the user's usage of the web resources. Responsive to receiving a request to access a hostname not stored in the recorded URLs, embodiments of the present invention can be used to receive URLs associated with web resources available at the hostname and assign weight values to the received URLs based, at least in part, on the usage details and a similarity between the received URLs and the recorded URLs. Embodiments of the present invention can then be used to generate a URL suggestion from the received URLs based, at least in part, on the assigned weight values.

  • Publication number: 20170126833
    Abstract: An approach to downloading content to a mobile device based on predicted service disruptions to avoid a loss of access to content. The service disruptions to wireless network connectivity can occur due to network dead spots, such as those occurring on a highway, in a tunnel, under a bridge or in a building. Embodiments monitor current and historical mobile device usage and historical wireless service data to form a history and generate a predictive model that makes predictions regarding anticipated dead spots and the types and quantity of content that will be requested during the dead spots. Decisions based on the predictive model can be made automatically by embodiments, such as when to start downloading content prior to entering a dead spot and how much content and what types of content will be downloaded based on predicted user requests.

  • Patent number: 9600595
    Abstract: In a method for redrawing a two web page windows that are being moved from a first display screen to a second display screen, an indication is received that each respective web page window is being moved from a first display to a second display. A processor identifies different scaling factors corresponding to uniform resource locators (URLs) of each respective web page window for scaling the web page windows for display on the second display screen. The processor causes the first web page window to be scaled according to the first scaling factor and the second web page window to be scaled according to the second, different scaling factor, wherein each web page window is scaled differently relative to the other on the second display screen than on the first display screen.
