  • Patent number: 11748708
    Abstract: An approach for an automated task management system to accomplish set goals by completing a predefined set of tasks for that goal is disclosed. The approach includes creating a goal object by one or more users and creating one or more task objects associated with the goal object by the one or more users. The approach includes executing a first task of the one or more task objects and determining if there is one or more deviations associated with executing the first task. Users can directly define deviations which are stored into the tasks directly as a deviation path without needing admin approval. Based on determining there is the one or more deviations, the approach can optionally ask for an approval from an administrator. Deviation tasks objects are stored into the goal object for future users to view and use.

  • Patent number: 11119887
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes: receiving, by a computer device, input to tag at least one line of code with one of plural predefined types of metadata tags, wherein the at least one line of code is a subset of a source code that is stored in a code repository and editable by plural different users via a client source code editor program; tagging, by the computer device, the at least one line of code with the one of the plural predefined types of metadata tags; detecting, by the computer device, a change to the at least one line of code after the tagging; and generating, by the computer device, an alert based on the detecting the change to the at least one line of code.

  • Publication number: 20200258050
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed in which a first computing device sends a meeting request for person(s) to a second computing device. The first computing device receives from the second computing device, first token(s) granting limited access to calendar information for the person(s) sufficient for conflict clearance, the token(s) having restriction(s). The restriction(s) include one or more of a lifespan for the limited access, an identification of which calendar entries are accessible, an indication of how much of a calendar entry is accessible, a use count for the limited access, showing only available time and encryption of the calendar information. The first computing device sends to the second computing device, a meeting invitation for the person(s) based on the limited access. The first computing device then receives from the second computing device, an acceptance for the meeting invitation.

  • Publication number: 20040183783
    Abstract: A keyboard in which one or more individual keys of the keyboard can be vibrated selectively. Thus, when a particular combination of keys or a single key needs to be activated, the user can identify the required key(s) by touch rather than by vision.
