  • Publication number: 20180025023
    Abstract: An approach is provided for synchronizing elements in files across a technical environment. In one embodiment, a processor obtains a first change to a first file. The processor also obtains data identifying a second file. The processor determines if the change is supported by a data library in a pre-defined list of data sources. The processor analyzes the data library to determine a type of the change. The processor applies the type of the change to the second file.

  • Patent number: 9767210
    Abstract: An approach is provided for dynamically enhancing and visually synchronizing elements in a display on a computing device. The approach includes using a processor to obtain a change to a first file and data identifying a second file one or more characteristics from a source file. The processor determines if the change is supported by a data library and analyzes the data library to determine the type of change. The processor then applies the type of change to the second file and generates a display associated with the second file on the computing device that includes the type of change applied to the second file.

  • Publication number: 20170214773
    Abstract: A method for optimizing migration efficiency of a data file over network is provided. Specifically, a total time of compression time of the data file, transfer time of the data file over the network, and decompression time of the data file, is minimized by adaptively selecting compression methods to compress each data block of the data file. For selecting a compression method for a data block, information entropy of the data block is analyzed, and a real status of computing and system resources is considered. Further, trade-off among the resource usage, compassion speed and compression ratio is made to calculate an optimized transmission solution over the network for each data block of the data file.

  • Patent number: 9704046
    Abstract: In an approach to tracking at least one target subject in a camera network, a search is started to find a target subject on a camera within a camera network. Features are extracted from the target subject and search queries are initiated in other nearby cameras within the camera network. Search queries attempt to detect target subjects and present the finds in a ranked order. Application of aggregate searches in multiple cameras and prior search results are used to improve matching results in the camera network; propagate a search of the target subject to discover the full pathway in the camera network; and project future occurrences of the target subject in subsequent cameras in the camera network.
