Patent number: 9195440Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for amorphous data preparation for intelligent data source selection in application development are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A set of keywords is selected from a code portion of a source code. Using a subset of the set of keywords, an expected circumstance is determined, the expected circumstance being a circumstance relevant to a purpose of the source code. From a set of data sources, a data source is identified, wherein the data source provides information usable in the expected circumstance. A manner of accessing the information from the data source is identified. Pseudo-code is constructed to implement the manner of accessing the information from the data source. A weight is assigned to the data source based upon a type of input used for selecting the pseudo-code, wherein the selecting uses the pseudo-code in the source code.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2013Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Samuel Scott Adams, Rosalind Toy Allen Radcliffe, Elizabeth Vera Woodward, Shunguo Yan

Publication number: 20140075298Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for document analysis and presentation to a user, the user having a special need, are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A document is received for presentation to the user, the document including a plurality of parts, the plurality of parts including a preferred part, and wherein the user has to reach the preferred part in the document by sequentially processing a subset of parts preceding the preferred part in the document. The document is analyzed according to a set of attributes. The document is restructured to form a restructured document such that user can directly access the preferred part of the restructured document without having to sequentially process the restructured document. The restructured document is presented to the user having special needs.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2012Publication date: March 13, 2014Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: MAUREEN ELIZABETH KRAFT, Michael A.

Publication number: 20140074857Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for weighted ranking of video data are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A weight is assigned to an aspect of the video data. A weight is assigned to a person expected to feature in the video data. A weight of the video data is computed, the weight of the video data being a factor of the weight assigned the aspect and the weight assigned the person. A ranking of the video data is computed using the weight computed for the video data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2012Publication date: March 13, 2014Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: SU LIU, Elizabeth Vera Woodward, Shunguo Yan

Patent number: 8081082Abstract: A method, computer program product, and apparatus for monitoring patterns of motion are provided. A signal is received from a sensor on a user, wherein movement of the user causes the sensor to generate power to emit a signal indicative of the movement of the user. The signal is analyzed to form a current pattern of motion. The current pattern of motion is compared to a baseline pattern of motion associated with the user. A difference between the current pattern of motion and the baseline pattern of motion associated with the user is determined to form a difference. The difference is compared to a predetermined threshold. Responsive to the difference exceeding the predetermined threshold, an alert is sent.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2009Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nadeem Malik, Katherine June Pearsall, Adrian Rutledge, Elizabeth Vera Woodward
