Patent number: 10915221Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provides methods, computer program products, and a system for determining a probable user selection on a user interface and generating a functional shadow cursor that is displayed on the user interface at a determined location of most probable user selection. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to access a user interface, generate a shadow cursor on the user interface based on a generated transition graph, and disabling the original cursor. In response to receiving user feedback, embodiments of the present invention can remove and disable the shadow cursor and return the original cursor as the sole functioning cursor. In response to receiving user feedback, embodiments of the present invention can shift the generated shadow cursor to a next probable selection.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lenin Mehedy, Jorge Andres Moros Ortiz, Adam H.

Publication number: 20170366510Abstract: Protecting secure information in computer communications may include detecting by a computer process running on a server an initiation of an action if executed transmits data to a destination domain. Whether the destination domain is a permissible destination for sending the secure information may be determined. If it is determined that the destination domain is not a permissible destination, whether the data contains secure information may be determined. Responsive to determining that the data contains secure information, an alert signal may be generated to alert an initiator of the action. Responsive to determining that the action is executed even after the alert signal, the computer process may be trained to learn that the destination domain is permissible destination.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2016Publication date: December 21, 2017Inventors: Ermyas Abebe, Mahathir B.A. Almashor, Adam H.

Patent number: 9792011Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a computing device accessory system including a memory having user interface (UI) reconfiguration information, wherein the UI reconfiguration information is selected and loaded into the memory based at least in part on a perceptual attribute of the computing device accessory. The computing device accessory system further includes a transmitter and a processor system communicatively coupled to the memory and the transmitter. The processor system and the transmitter are configured to access the memory and transmit the UI reconfiguration information to a computing device having a reconfigurable UI. The computing device is configured to utilize the UI reconfiguration information to reconfigure the reconfigurable UI.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2015Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventor: Adam H. E. Eberbach

Patent number: 7127238Abstract: A mobile telephone comprises a telephony unit to process wireless telephony signals and a browser to enable the user to navigate hypermedia information via a wireless network. The telephony unit receives a signal indicating an incoming telephone call with Caller-ID information. The telephony unit provides the Caller-ID information to the browser, which uses the Caller-ID information to identify an action or data previously associated with the Caller-ID information. In one embodiment, the browser looks up ring tone data associated with the Caller-ID information and provides the ring tone data to the telephony unit, which causes a ring tone to be generated based on the ring tone data. Distinctive ring tones may be associated with particular callers or groups of callers. The browser may request ring tone data from a remote server over the wireless network.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2001Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: Openwave Systems Inc.Inventors: Tom R. Vandermeijden, Adam H. E. Eberbach
