Patent number: 10572497Abstract: A computer-implemented method for executing parsed commands includes receiving an area selection in a first user interface on an electronic device. The method receiving a first portion of a command entry in the first user interface. The method translating the first portion of the command entry into a first portion of computer readable text format. The method parsing the first portion of computer readable text format for keywords, wherein the keywords correspond to actions executed in a first application. Responsive to determining the first portion of computer readable text format matches a first action, the method executing the first action in the first application, wherein the first action is directed towards the area selection.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2015Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lisa Seacat DeLuca, Lydia M.

Publication number: 20160026793Abstract: Methods, products, apparatuses, and systems may manage a threat condition. A plurality of triggers may be identified over a period of time. Each of the triggers may be associated with a threat risk value. An accumulation value may be determined based on an aggregation of each threat risk value over the period of time. A set of progressive threshold values associated with a set of progressive threat conditions may be defined. A threat condition from the set of threat conditions may be established for the device based on the accumulation value. The threat condition may be managed, for example by defining an operational mode for the device, in response to the threat condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2015Publication date: January 28, 2016Inventors: Lisa Seacat Deluca, Lydia M. Do, Charles M. Kinard

Publication number: 20150277696Abstract: In a method for displaying content corresponding to a character, symbol or shape drawn by a user on a touch screen. In response to the user drawing the character, symbol or shape on the touch screen, a processor determines (a) a size of the character, symbol or shape based on one or more geometric measurements made by the processor of the character, symbol or shape, and (b) content corresponding to the character, symbol or shape. The processor displays on the touch screen the content with a size based in part on the size of the character, symbol or shape drawn by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2014Publication date: October 1, 2015Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lisa Seacat DeLuca, Lydia M. Do, Charles M. Kinard

Patent number: 8966482Abstract: A virtual machine management method and system is provided. The method includes receiving by a computing system, a list of virtual machines deployed within an enterprise. The computing system determines that a specified time period has elapsed during deployment and a list of resources and transactions associated with the virtual machines is retrieved. The computing system calculates a cost value and service value for deploying the virtual machines and a premium value associated with the services. The computing system determines if the premium value is within a policy for the enterprise.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2013Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lisa Seacat DeLuca, Charles M.

Publication number: 20140365955Abstract: Aspects revise the shape of a window displayed in a graphical user interface environment by removing one or more selected boundary edge lines of the window as displayed within a graphical user interface environment in an initial appearance shape and including display content. The definitions of one or more new replacement boundary elements are received, and the initial appearance shape of the window is revised into a revised appearance shape that is defined by the replacement boundary element(s) and one or more remainder boundary edge lines that are not removed. Display of the display content of the window is initiated within the revised appearance shape of the first window.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2013Publication date: December 11, 2014Inventors: Lisa Seacat DeLuca, Lydia M.
