Patent number: 9495423Abstract: Query requests for RDF triples are obtained, wherein the query request(s) contain(s) at least one triple pattern; for each triple pattern, the corresponding elementary pattern is determined, and each triple pattern is converted to a weighted elementary pattern. The occurrence frequency of each elementary pattern is computed based on the weighted elementary patterns; at least one elementary pattern is chosen at least according to the occurrence frequency; and the RDF triples corresponding to the chosen at least elementary pattern are prefetched into the buffer. The corresponding apparatus is also provided. With the above method and apparatus, the frequently accessed RDF triples can be determined and prefetched into the buffer, which improves the query efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2013Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Yue Pan, Xing Zhi Sun, Qing Fa Wang, Shuo Wu, Lin Hao Xu

Patent number: 9472098Abstract: A travel reporter system is used to report abnormal travel events. In use, a sensor mounted on a vehicle obtains real-time data about an object near the vehicle. The object has an object type which is identified by processing the real-time data with an object recognition subsystem of the travel reporter system. An event evaluation subsystem of the travel reporter system processes the real-time data and the object type in order to determine that the object is associated with an abnormal travel event. The abnormal travel event has an event type which is processed by an event notification subsystem of the travel reporter system in order to select a first information consumer type. The event notification subsystem reports the abnormal travel event to information consumers having the first information consumer type.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2015Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Longxiang Gao, Xi Liang, Xing Zhi Sun, Jianbin Tang, Yini Wang, Ziyuan Wang

Patent number: 8768953Abstract: A dependency graph of rule predicates without strongly connected sub-graph is obtained. The dependency graph indicates the dependency among the rule predicates. An update frequency of node in the dependency graph is calculated, and a query frequency of node in the dependency graph is also calculated. Furthermore, a runtime query cost value and a materialization cost value of the node are calculated based on the query frequency and update frequency. Node to be materialized are determined based on the runtime query cost value and the materialization cost value. A rule predicate corresponding to the node to be materialized is the rule predicate to be materialized. In at least some instances, an exemplary technical effect is that the return time of result of runtime query is saved and the affect by the data update is reduced when a query is performed in relation data reasoning system constructed with rule predicates.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2010Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yue Pan, Xing Zhi Sun, Lin Hao Xu
