  • Patent number: 11422997
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and computer processing system are provided. The method includes identifying, by a processor, atomic operations within a sequence of data elements and metadata associated with the atomic operations. The sequence of data elements is related to an interaction between a user and a user interface of a computer system that includes the processor. The method also includes calculating, by the processor, correlation indexes from the metadata. A respective correlation index is calculated for various atomic operation groups formed from the atomic operations. The method additionally includes identifying, by the processor, a macro operation from at least one of the correlation indexes. The macro operation includes multiple correlated atomic operations from among the atomic operations identified within the sequence.

  • Patent number: 10949215
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system identify a low-cost time to re-boot a system. The method includes a processor obtaining a request for a re-boot of a system. The processor obtains identifiers of uncompleted tasks executing in the system. Based on obtaining the identifiers, the processor obtains a task cost of each task of the uncompleted tasks, where a value of the task cost of each task relates to a portion of each task completed by the processor at a given time. The processor determines, based on the task costs associated with the uncompleted tasks, a re-boot cost for re-booting the system at the given time. The processor determined a system cost for not re-booting the system at the given time. The processor compares the re-boot cost to the system cost to determine whether to re-boot the system at the given time in response to the request.

  • Patent number: 10904191
    Abstract: A method is provided for deleting a content element of a chat history lacking long-term relevance. The method includes receiving a content element, assigning the content element to a topic, determining a relationship index value for the content element to the topic using a validity value, which is a function of an access rate and a credibility index value. The method also includes comparing the relationship index threshold value for the topic of a first chat user, where the content element has been generated by a second chat user, and linking the content element of the second chat user to the topic in the chat history of the first user. The content element is deleted if it is not linked to any other chat history of another chat user of the plurality of chat users, thereby saving long-term chat storage space.

  • Patent number: 10574612
    Abstract: A method is provided for deleting a content element of a chat history lacking long-term relevance. The method includes receiving a content element, conditionally assigning the content element to the topic, determining a relationship index value for the content element to the topic using a validity value, which is a function of an access rate and a credibility index value. The method may also include comparing the relationship index threshold value for the topic of a first chat user, where the content element has been generated by a second chat user. The method also includes linking the content element of the second chat user to the topic in the chat history of the first user, and deleting the content element if it is not linked to any other chat history of another chat user of the plurality of chat users.
