Patent number: 11853246Abstract: Communication between target devices using protocol commands being carried out by a target device includes accessing a key for mapping of a plurality of defined patterns of stimuli and defined patterns of resultant protocol commands to a plurality of messages. A defined pattern of stimuli is sent from a target device to an initiator device to prompt a resultant defined pattern of protocol commands to be sent from the initiator device to all target devices that identify as the same device. The protocol commands including Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) specification compliant commands. A selected pattern of protocol command stimuli is sent from a first target device to the initiator device to prompt a resultant pattern of protocol commands from the initiator device to all target devices that identify as the same device thereby communicating the mapped message to other target devices.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2022Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Timothy Andrew Moran, Dominic Tomkins, Warren Hawkins, Nicholas Michael O'Rourke

Publication number: 20230350947Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system are provided for automatically creating task content. The method includes receiving a video file with an associated transcript of audio associated with the video file and identifying task action terms in the transcript. For each task action term, the method includes: locating a visual section of the video file corresponding to the task action term; capturing at least a portion of the visual section of the video file; and using image recognition for identifying information relating to one or more interface elements that are being interacted with in the visual section. The method includes generating a task instruction document including the task action terms augmented with interface element information and with at least a portion of the captured visual section.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2022Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: NATASHA Katherine MCKENZIE-KELLY, Caroline Sarah Courtenay McNamara, MELITA SAVILLE, Clive Harris, Abigail Rose Bettle-Shaffer, Timothy Andrew Moran

Publication number: 20230315980Abstract: Computer technology for content association in file editing. The method includes providing one or more files including a first element currently being edited and including at least one other element of a different format to the first element. The method analyzes changes to the first element to obtain information relating to the changes and analyzing the contents of at least one other element. The method identifies any of the other elements that are correlated elements to the first element by determining an association between the contents of the other element and the changes of the first element and instigates a corresponding change to the contents of any correlated elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2022Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Melita Saville, Timothy Andrew Moran, Clive Harris, Caroline Sarah Courtenay McNamara, Natasha Katherine Mckenzie-Kelly, Abigail Rose Bettle-Shaffer

Patent number: 11775695Abstract: A system may be used to redact an image to be displayed by a display device. By intercepting a signal before an image of the signal is displayed on a display device, the display of confidential, sensitive and inappropriate information may be suppressed. More specifically, the image of the signal is analyzed using a content recognition algorithm to identify items of content, which may be redacted by modifying the signal. Using this concept, the image may be redacted by the display device, or by a port or adapter between a signal generator and the display device, without relying on redaction software local to the signal generation system.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Clive Harris, Timothy Andrew Moran, Caroline Sarah Courtenay McNamara, Caroline J. Thomas, Natasha Katherine McKenzie-Kelly, Melita Saville, Abigail Rose Bettle-Shaffer

Publication number: 20230306104Abstract: Technology for password entry security that monitors a text entry field that is not an appropriate text entry field for password entry, and, on condition that a user enters a first portion of a designated user password into the text entry field, then machine logic deletes and/or obscures at least the first portion of the password from the text entry field so that it cannot be espied or intercepted by unauthorized parties. IN some embodiments, an integer number N is designated to determine how many characters must be in the first portion entered by the user before the password text is deleted or obscured.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2022Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: SALLY L HOWARD, Timothy Andrew Moran, EMMA JANE DAWSON, Katherine Rose Farmer

Patent number: 11461031Abstract: A migration replication relationship for data migration between a migration-source volume on a first storage controller and a migration-target volume on a second storage controller, a volume represents a virtualized device. The method presents the migration-source volume and the migration-target volume as a same volume to a host whilst using differentiated target port descriptors to define different discoverable paths to the each. During data migration, the method allows input/output operations to the migration-source volume by presenting target ports of the first storage controller in an available state and deters input/output operations to the migration-target volume by presenting target ports on the second storage controller in a standby state whilst allowing host discovery of paths to the migration-target volume.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2021Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Timothy Andrew Moran, Christopher Bulmer, Christopher Canto, Warren Hawkins

Publication number: 20210142188Abstract: Detecting a scene in an instructional video is presented. One example includes analyzing the visual and/or audio content of the instructional video to identify instances of indicative behavior of the instructor, an instance of indicative behavior being identified based on the presence of at least one of a set of predetermined behavioral patterns of the instructor in the visual and/or audio content of the instructional video. A scene in the instructional video is then detected based on the identified instances of indicative behavior of the instructor.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2019Publication date: May 13, 2021Inventors: Sally L. Howard, Timothy Andrew Moran, Katherine Rose Farmer, Emma Jane Dawson

Patent number: 8484342Abstract: Multiple flows each include a common transaction-specific identifier. The transaction-specific identifier corresponds to a transaction and is generated in response to receiving a request over a computer network. In turn, data is logged pertaining to each of the detected plurality of flows in a storage area. Upon identifying a completion of the transaction, a total cost of the transaction is calculated using the logged data pertaining to each of the plurality of flows.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2012Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Timothy Andrew Moran, Shahrokh Nezamzadeh, Silvia Virginia Ruksenas, Christopher Robert Walker
