Patent number: 10826980Abstract: A command process load balancing system performs load balancing of received commands among a number of server processes to resolve access contention for virtual software resources. These contentions are resolved through a history recording unit that records a history including contents of a processed command and a response time of a process for the command into a history database. A prediction unit predicts, in a case where a set of commands to be processed is assigned to a server process, whether or not a load that is equal to or higher than a reference value is applied, on the basis of the history recorded in the history database. An assigning unit assigns at least one command included in the set of commands to be processed to a different server process, in accordance with prediction that a load that is equal to or higher than the reference.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2019Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Noriaki Takatsu, Atsushi Yokoi

Patent number: 10001915Abstract: Embodiments relate to selecting an object displayed on a display device of a computer. Aspects include moving a movable pointer in the display device in response to a user input, determining whether the pointer is in a predetermined temporary selection state, and based on a determination that the pointer is in the temporary selection state, acquiring an object pointed to by the pointer and storing the object in the storage device as a temporarily selected object. Aspects further include acquiring an second object pointed by the pointer in response to the user performing a predetermined object selection operation, comparing the second object with the temporarily selected object, and based on a determination that the second object is identical to the temporarily selected object, determining that the second object is selected.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2013Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Takehiko Amano, Kenya Ishimoto, Harumi Itoh, Daisuke Maruyama, Atsushi Yokoi
