Publication number: 20230123023Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for integrating a mobile payment application with other mobile applications while preventing security exposures. A set of application programming interfaces of mobile applications that may possibly be utilized by a pass created by a mobile payment application is generated in response to receiving an indication that the pass was created. A “pass,” as used herein, refers to a form of mobile payment, such as a gift card. A selection of these application programming interfaces may then be received to interact with the created pass. In this manner, the existing mobile applications are seamlessly integrated with the features of passes. Furthermore, a virtual container is created for the created pass and the selected application programming interfaces to interface with the created pass. By creating such a container, the data to be exposed to the application layer can be controlled.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Todd E. Kaplinger, Gal Shachor, Gregory L. Truty

Patent number: 11556536Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for autonomic caching in an IMDG has been provided. A method for autonomic caching in an IMDG includes receiving from a client of the IMDG a request for a primary query in the IMDG. The method also includes associating the primary query with a previously requested sub-query related to the primary query. Finally, the method includes directing the sub-query concurrently with a directing of the primary query without waiting to receive a request for the sub-query from the client. In this way, the method can proactively predict a receipt of the request for a sub-query following a request for a primary query prior the actual receipt of the request for the sub-query.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2019Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kulvir S.

Patent number: 11017152Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for optimizing the loading of a web page. The server receives indications (e.g., Document Object Model (DOM) elements) of web page elements of interest of a web page from multiple client devices. The server updates a list of web page elements for the requested web page that is sorted in terms of popularity based on these received indications of web page elements of interest. The server may then appropriately respond to a request to retrieve that web page by accessing such a list and transmitting to the browser of the requesting client device the data to populate the content of the web page elements for the requested web page in an order based on the sorted list. In this manner, the browser will be able to optimize the loading of the web page.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2019Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew J.

Patent number: 10771585Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for limiting client side data storage based upon client geolocation. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for the differentiated treatment of data at rest in a mobile device includes receiving in a cache manager a request to cache data in a cache of a mobile device. Also, a geolocation for the mobile device is retrieved contemporaneous with the receipt of the request. Thereafter, it is determined from the geolocation whether or not the mobile device is present within a restricted geographic zone. Finally, in response to determining that the mobile device is present within a restricted geographic zone, the cache manager is directed to cache the data in a cache in the mobile device. But, otherwise the cache manager is directed to cache the data in a cache disposed in the computer communications network.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2019Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Erin Bartholomew, Nicholas D.

Patent number: 10681101Abstract: There are provided a system, a method and a computer program product for controlling one or more media files in a mobile device. The system predicts a future usage of the media files. The system ranks each media file according to a likelihood that the each media file is processed at a time and a location associated with the predicted future usages. The system preemptively downloads the media files to a local data storage device of the mobile device, according to the ranking. There are also provided a system, a method and a computer program product for using one or more networks for a mobile device. The mobile device downloads an amount of data while the mobile device is connected to the first pre-determined wireless network. The mobile device configures certain applications in the mobile device to use the second pre-determined wireless network.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Todd E.
