Patent number: 11189301Abstract: Utterances spoken or sung by a first person can be received, in real time. The detected utterances can be compared to at least a stored sample of utterances spoken or sung by the first person. Based on the comparing, audio of the utterances spoken or sung by the first person can be isolated from a background noise. A volume of the utterances spoken or sung by a first person relative to the background noise can be determined. A key indicator that indicates the volume of the detected utterances spoken or sung by the first person relative to the background noise can be generated. Based on the key indicator, information indicating the volume of the detected utterances spoken or sung by the first person relative to the background noise can be communicated.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Alan D. Emery, Aditya Sood, Mathews Thomas, Janki Y. Vora

Patent number: 10609559Abstract: A mobile hub can receive from a mobile device a selection of a first user profile from a listing of a plurality of user profiles of a user of the mobile device that are stored on the mobile hub. Responsive to receiving the selection of the first user profile, a first of a plurality of mobile networks indicated in the first user profile as being available to the user can be identified. The first mobile network can satisfy at least a first user specified criterion associated with the first user profile. A subscriber authentication associated with the user profile can be selected. The subscriber authentication can be configured to authenticate the user with the first of the plurality of mobile networks and configured to be processed by the first mobile device to automatically establish presence on the first mobile network. The subscriber authentication can be communicated to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2019Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Susan J. Christian, Alan D. Emery, Arvind Sathi, Fernando M. Siqueira, Mathews Thomas

Patent number: 10395671Abstract: Utterances spoken or sung by a first person can be received, in real time, from a mobile communication device. A location of the mobile communication device can be determined to be in an area designated as a quiet zone. A key indicator that indicates at least one characteristic of the detected utterances spoken or sung by the first person can be generated. Based, at least in part, on the key indicator, a determination can be made that the first person is speaking or singing too loudly in the area designated as the quiet zone. Responsive to determining that the first person is speaking or singing too loudly in the area designated as the quiet zone, feedback indicating that the first person is speaking or singing too loudly in the area designated as the quiet zone can be communicated to the mobile communication device.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2017Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Alan D. Emery, Aditya Sood, Mathews Thomas, Janki Y. Vora

Patent number: 8200522Abstract: The present invention discloses a repeatable and standardized approach for deploying a SOA infrastructure to client environments. The approach is designed to accelerate a deployment by leveraging existing integration assets and utilizing a phased approach when executing the deployment. It is preferred to perform the integration with significant client participation, which speeds the deployment process while ensuring knowledge of a resulting SOA solution is transferred to a client's IT team. Stages of the phased approach can include a transition enablement stage, an environment preparation stage, a sandbox delivery stage, and an integration and skills transfer stage.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2007Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Edwin J.
