Patent number: 10320858Abstract: Notifications related to activity associated with a collaborative process are propagated to an originator to alert the originator of activity on the collaborative process. A collaborative process server receives an indication that the originator has initiated a collaborative process that generates collaborative content to be tracked. The collaborative process server is utilized to share the collaborative content associated with the collaborative process with at least one recipient. Computer implemented event(s) associated with the shared collaborative content by recipients are detected. Information associated with the collaborative process is automatically transformed in response to detected event(s) associated with the shared collaborative content, wherein a notification of the occurrence of the event(s) is propagated to the originator. The notification is generated in response to detected event(s) and is based upon the transformed information.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2018Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Cynthia E. Barber-Mingo, Arno Denne, Liam S. Harpur, John Kennedy, Paula Prendergast

Patent number: 9813460Abstract: Notifications that serve as “hints” related to activity associated with a collaborative process are propagated to an originator to alert the originator of activity on the collaborative process. A collaborative process server computer receives an indication that the originator has initiated a computer implemented collaborative process that generates collaborative content to be tracked. The collaborative process server computer is utilized to share the collaborative content associated with the collaborative process with at least one recipient. Computer implemented event(s) associated with the shared collaborative content by recipients are detected. Information associated with the collaborative process is automatically transformed in response to detected event(s) associated with the shared collaborative content, wherein a notification of the occurrence of the event(s) is propagated to the originator. The notification is generated in response to detected event(s) and is based upon the transformed information.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2015Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Cynthia E.

Patent number: 9167019Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for establishing a Voice over IP (VoIP) session. One or more computing devices initiate the VoIP session between a plurality of devices. A first communication channel is established as an active channel for a first computing device of the plurality of devices, where the active channel is fully enabled for use by the first computing device. A second communication channel is established as a passive channel for the first computing device while maintaining the active channel, where the passive channel is at least partially enabled for use by the first computing device.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2012Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Chelsea Christine Beerse, Arno Denne, Patrick Joseph O'Sullivan, Jeffrey B.

Patent number: 8958326Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for VoIP session quality is described. A method may comprise allowing a user to define a session quality threshold for a Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) session of a VoIP conference, the session quality threshold corresponding to a session quality characteristic of the VoIP session. The method may further comprise determining a session quality value for the session quality characteristic of the VoIP session. The method may additionally comprise determining if the session quality value for the session quality characteristic of the VoIP session is unacceptable based upon, at least in part, the session quality threshold that corresponds to the session quality characteristic of the VoIP session. The method may also comprise, in response to determining that the session quality value is unacceptable, initiating one or more predefined session quality actions.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2012Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jeffrey B.

Patent number: 8627214Abstract: A session invitation can be received from a first communicator for a first communication session. The session invitation can be for a temporary participant to join a sub-session of the first communication session for a sub-session duration specified by the first communicator. The sub-session duration can be less than a duration of the first communication session. The session information can be conveyed to the temporary participant within a session invitation so that the sub-session duration is able to be presented to the temporary participant. Thus, the temporary participant is able to accept or deny the session invitation with full knowledge of the sub-session duration.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2010Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Chelsea Beerse, Arno Denne, Patrick O'Sullivan, Jeffrey Sloyer
