Patent number: 11115599Abstract: A computer system automatically corrects a view of an image capture device. A view of an image capture device is adjusted by applying one or more modifications selected from a group of: a zoom modification, a pan modification, and a tilt modification, wherein the view is displayed at a client device during a viewing session and the one or more modifications are indicated by the client device. One or more corrective operations are applied to the adjusted view based on user input, wherein the one or more corrective operations include a rotational operation to correct the adjusted view. Subsequent operations based on the one or more corrective operations are applied during a subsequent viewing session with corresponding view settings. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for automatically correcting a view of an image capture device in substantially the same manner described above.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2020Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Vincent Tkac, Keith G.

Patent number: 10834538Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided. At least one processor of a computing device determines that a mobile device remained in a vehicle used in a vehicle for hire service after the vehicle reached a destination. The at least one processor determines at least one second party to notify regarding the mobile device being left in the vehicle based on a use of the vehicle for hire service by a user of the mobile device and the at least one second party. The at least one processor notifies the at least one second party regarding the mobile device being left in the vehicle via at least one device used by the at least one second party.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2020Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Vincent Tkac, Joshua M.

Patent number: 10003699Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable optimizing a ringtone on a mobile communication device so that it may be audible to a user among ambient music. Specifically, an incoming communication (e.g., phone call) or other event (e.g., incoming notification, alarm, etc.) that is associated with a ringtone is detected. Any ambient music is detected and identified. A waveform associated with the ringtone and a waveform associated with the ambient music are analyzed. Based on the analysis, the ringtone is initiated. For example, a peak of the ringtone waveform may be aligned with a trough of the ambient music waveform to determine a point to initiate the ringtone among the ambient music.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2017Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew C. Myers, Vincent Tkac
