Patent number: 11017152Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for optimizing the loading of a web page. The server receives indications (e.g., Document Object Model (DOM) elements) of web page elements of interest of a web page from multiple client devices. The server updates a list of web page elements for the requested web page that is sorted in terms of popularity based on these received indications of web page elements of interest. The server may then appropriately respond to a request to retrieve that web page by accessing such a list and transmitting to the browser of the requesting client device the data to populate the content of the web page elements for the requested web page in an order based on the sorted list. In this manner, the browser will be able to optimize the loading of the web page.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2019Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew J. Ivory, Todd E. Kaplinger, Aaron K. Shook, David M. Stecher

Patent number: 10423714Abstract: Some examples described are directed to operations performed by a processor of a computer system to receive text data corresponding to a piece of text (e.g., a text string) displayable via a display device. The processor can further perform operations to determine, based on evaluation of the text data using text-filtering logic, that a revision condition exists for at least a portion of the piece of text. The processor can further perform operations to, in response to determination that the revision condition exists, determine, for a display data set corresponding to the piece of text, to either not display the at least the portion of the piece of text or display a modified form of the at least the portion of the piece of text. The processor can further perform operations to, present, via the display device, a display (e.g., a graphical-user-interface object) corresponding to the display data set.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2017Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Diane C.

Patent number: 10206104Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for session completion through co-browsing is claimed. The method can include establishing a content browsing session between a first computing device and a content server serving access to content to the first computing device and maintaining state data for the content browsing session. A co-browsing arrangement of the content can be created as between the first computing device and a second computing device and at least a subset of the state data can be cloned for use by the second computing device during co-browsing of the content. Thereafter, a modified form of the subset of the state data can be received from the second computing device resulting from the co-browsing of the content by the second computing device and the modified form of the subset of the state data can be provided to the first computing device for use during the content browsing session.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2017Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew J.

Patent number: 10108596Abstract: Version control for a document can include receiving from a user a request to commit one or more revisions to a master document in a document repository. The one or more revisions can be included in a local copy of the master document. A processor can determine whether an accept only designation is assigned to at least a portion of the local copy. In response to a determination that an accept only designation is assigned to at least a portion of the local copy, the respective revisions assigned an accept only designation can be disallowed from incorporation into the master document. Revisions made to the master document can be sent to the user for incorporation into the user's local copy of the master document. Such sending is not prevented by the assignment of an accept only designation to at least a portion of the local copy of the master document.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2017Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Erik J.

Patent number: 9734124Abstract: A method for managing a two-way form over a direct link is provided. The method includes establishing a communicative link between two communications clients each separately executing in memory by a processor of a corresponding one of two computers. The method also includes managing a two-way form rendered as individual instances of the two-way form each in a corresponding content browser executing in a corresponding one of the two computers. Finally, the method includes exchanging synchronization information for the two-way form over the communicative link. In one aspect of the embodiment, the method also includes prompting in one of the individual instances of the two-way form for verification of an update to a field providing in another of the individual instances of the two-way form. In another aspect of the embodiment, the method includes recording a verification of the update to the field in an audit trail.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2010Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Erik J.

Patent number: 9626371Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for attribute based file operation implementation selection. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for providing selectable implementations of a file operation is provided. The method includes receiving a directive to perform a file operation on a particular file stored in fixed storage of a computer and identifying an attribute of the particular file. An implementation of the file operation can be selected amongst different implementations of the file operation that maps to the identified attribute. Thereafter, the selected implementation of the file operation can be invoked to perform the file operation upon the particular file.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2010Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lisa Seacat DeLuca, Travis M.
