Patent number: 10042818Abstract: Mechanisms for tracking an entity are provided. A time is determined by a sensor having a clock, the time being within a time slot in a series of time slots. First data of the time slot is provided and shared between a plurality of sensors. The sensor receives data from the movable entity. The sensor calculates identifying data from the received data for identifying the entity. Derivative identifying data is calculated by applying a modifying function using the provided first data for modifying the identifying data. The sensor calculates a hash value by taking the derivative identifying data as input. The sensor sends a message to a central server for determining the position of the entity, the message comprising the hash value and an identifier of the sensor.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2016Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gherardo Albano, Dario De Judicibus

Patent number: 8583499Abstract: A system for implementing a method that books and pays a retailer having a POS connected to a transaction server storing confidential user information including a retailer identification, a user code, and a user wireless device phone number. The method includes: receiving at the transaction server, from the user wireless device which can be a cell phone, an SMS containing a retailer identification; reading at the transaction server the phone number of the wireless device communicated by the carrier transporting the SMS; authentifying the phone number and retailer identification with the stored confidential user information; sending the user confidential information to the retailer POS. The user enters on the POS the user code. The POS reads and authentifies the user code with the user confidential information received from the transaction server. The retailer enters the payment information on the POS and sends it with user information to the transaction server.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2012Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions Holding CorporationInventors: Dario De Judicibus, Sandro Leopardi, Leonardo Modeo, Nicola Pergola

Patent number: 7080086Abstract: A system cooperable with a data engine such as a database allows a user to refine a query. The query comprises at least one conditional attribute and at least one attribute to be displayed and the data engine responds to produce a report comprising one or more objects, each object comprising the displayed attributes. The system comprises a module for rendering at least one object from a report and which is responsive to user interaction with the report, for selecting one or more displayed attributes and causing the one or more displayed attributes to change to respective one or more conditional attributes. A second module renders at least one conditional attribute for a query and is responsive to user interaction with the one or more rendered conditional attributes, for selecting one or more conditional attributes and causing the one or more conditional attributes to change to respective one or more displayed attributes.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2000Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Dario de Judicibus

Patent number: 6850932Abstract: A system for interacting with a database report is disclosed. The database is responsive to a query to produce an associated report comprising one or more objects, each object comprising a plurality of attributes. The system comprises means for storing one or more reports from respective database queries; and means for rendering at least one object from the stored reports. A user interface enables a user to navigate through objects composing the stored reports to select an object; select one or more attributes of the selected object and determine a value of a selected attribute to be used as a condition in a subsequent database query. A query generator receives the selected attribute values and generates the subsequent database query.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2003Date of Patent: February 1, 2005Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Dario de Judicibus

Patent number: 5874962Abstract: In a graphical user interface, a method for automatically arranging the position of the windows on the desktop according to a weighting value in order to provide an intuitive disposition of the windows on the desktop. The windows are spread radially around the center of the display with the higher weighted windows closer to the center. The weight of a window for placement purposes is determined by a measure of importance for the window, such as area or the frequency with which the user operates on the window.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 1997Date of Patent: February 23, 1999Assignee: International Business MachinesInventors: Dario de Judicibus, Gherardo Albano
