  • Patent number: 11809432
    Abstract: A system, method, and processor readable medium for processing data in a knowledge management system gathers information content and transmits a work request for the information content gathered. The information content may be registered with a K-map and assigned a unique document identifier. A work queue processes the work requests. The processed information may then be transmitted to another work queue for further processing. Further processing may include categorization, full-text indexing, metrics extraction or other process. Control messages may be transmitted to one or more users providing a status of the work request. The information may be analyzed and further indexed. A progress statistics report may be generated for each of the processes performed on the document. The progress statistics may be provided in a record. A shared access to a central data structure representing the metrics history and taxonomy may be provided for all work queues via a CORBA service.

  • Patent number: 10031952
    Abstract: An approach is provided for automatically ingesting additional corpus based on an interaction history that is mined to identify a question that meets specified answer deficiency criteria, and then generate a second question which is correlated to the first question by requesting additional answer information for answering the first question, where the second question is posted to a forum using a selected persona so that forum responses can be monitored and ingested as additional content in the knowledge base.

  • Patent number: 9875308
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable medium for monitoring a communication, and providing users with information retrieved from one or more data sources that may be relevant to the communication. An information module monitors a communication associated with at least one remote client by receiving either all (or a portion of) the communication as input. The information module then analyzes the communication to filter out and produce a running list of words that may define the context or key topics of the communication. One or more of the topic words are then used as search terms in a search executed against one or more data sources. The search results may then be forwarded to the remote client in real-time, according to one or more specified parameters. In this regard, a user of a remote client does not have to formulate their own search terms, or even activate the search, while engaged in a communication.

  • Patent number: 9805337
    Abstract: A workflow, enterprise, and mail-enabled application server and platform supports distributed computing and remote execution of web applications. Lotus Domino online services (DOLS) is used by a web site administrator to configure Internet Notes (iNotes) clients to auto download from server, thus providing iNotes clients with web access using HTTP with various browsers, and with local processing and replication. A local run time model comprises a hierarchy of models including object data store model, security model, indexing model, replication model, agent workflow model and mail model. DOLS provides a layered security model that allows flexibility for controlling access to all or part of an application. The highest level of security is managed through a database access control list (ACL). Further refinements within the security model provide access to specific documents, and their views, forms or folders, and include read access lists, write access lists, form access lists and readers and authors fields.

  • Patent number: 9317501
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for translating information. The computer system receives the information for a translation. The computer system identifies portions of the information based on a set of rules for security for the information in response to receiving the information. The computer system sends the portions of the information to a plurality of translation systems. In response to receiving translation results from the plurality of translation systems for respective portions of the information, the computer system combines the translation results for the respective portions to form a consolidated translation of the information.

  • Patent number: 8838588
    Abstract: Described are a dynamic interest profile (DIP) system and method for dynamically tracking interests of a user based on personal information. The DIP system obtains electronic documents of the user from a document stream and processes the documents to obtain certain information therefrom. Based on the information obtained from the documents, the DIP system identifies terms, people, documents, and collections that are of importance to the user. These items of importance become part of a dynamic interest profile of the user. The dynamic interest profiles persist in a database. The DIP system also provides an application program interface (API) for accessing DIPs in the database. Application programs can employ this API to customize program behavior to the particular interests of the user executing those programs.

  • Publication number: 20110131330
    Abstract: A plurality of master desktop images for a plurality of users are stored at a plurality of geographically diverse data centers. At a first one of the data centers, a virtual desktop is constructed for a remote client. The virtual desktop is constructed from a given one of the master desktop images at the first one of the data centers and an individualized delta image for a user associated with the remote client. When it is determined that the remote client is at a geographical location wherein the first one of the data centers is not the closest one of the data centers to the remote client, the virtual desktop for the remote client is reconstructed at a second, closest, one of the data centers. The virtual desktop is reconstructed from a given one of the master desktop images at the second one of the data centers and the individualized delta image for the user associated with the remote client.

  • Patent number: 7853574
    Abstract: A method of generating a context-inferenced search query and of sorting a result of the query is described. The method includes analyzing an event associated with the user to determine a contextual setting, dynamically generating a search query based on the contextual setting, and searching at least one information source using the search query to generate a search result. Additionally, the method includes calculating an importance value for each item of the search result, sorting the items of the search result according the importance value, and displaying the sorted search result to the user.
