Patent number: 10051426Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a computer implemented method and system of proactively caching content for a mobile electronic device. The method includes determining the location of a mobile electronic device, predicting the location of the mobile electronic device, including a prediction of when the mobile electronic device will be in a location of low or no network connectivity. The data that will be retrieved while the mobile electronic device is not connected to the network is also predicted. Thereafter, the predicted data that will be retrieved is downloaded prior to losing network connectivity so that it can be accessed from memory while the mobile electronic device has low or no network connectivity. Other embodiments are also described.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2016Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Vittorio Castelli, Georgiana Dinu, Radu Florian, Gourab Kundu, Taesun Moon, Avirup Sil

Publication number: 20180218596Abstract: A roadway condition predictive model that can recommend ameliorative roadway action(s) is disclosed. A roadway controller computer acquires sensor and location information, which describe physical driving surface conditions on the roadway, from a plurality of vehicles that travel on the roadway. The roadway controller computer also acquires environmental and traffic conditions for the roadway. The roadway controller computer creates a predictive model that describes a deterioration rate and future physical condition of the roadway, based on the acquired sensor, location information, environmental and traffic conditions for the roadway. The roadway controller computer then implements an action to ameliorate deterioration of the roadway that is predicted by the predictive model.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2017Publication date: August 2, 2018Inventors: VITTORIO CASTELLI, MARTIN FRANZ, GOURAB KUNDU, TAESUN MOON, AVIRUP SIL

Patent number: 10009297Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product displays related content on a user interface. An initial electronic document is analyzed to identify a mention in the initial electronic document. A mention descriptor of the mention in the initial electronic document is generated according to a context of the initial electronic document. The mention descriptor is mapped to a disambiguation identifier from a knowledge base that contains an entity related to the mention, where the disambiguation identifier identifies the entity within the knowledge base. The disambiguation identifier is associated with the initial electronic document, and is also associated with an entity metadata visualization panel. The disambiguation identifier is associated with the entity metadata visualization panel by mapping the entity metadata visualization panel to the disambiguation identifier.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2015Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Vittorio Castelli, Radu Florian, Avirup Sil
