  • Patent number: 11526567
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer system, and computer program product for contextualizing searches in a collaborative session having two or more users. The method may include generating, by a processor, one or more keywords from user context sources of the collaborative session. Users engaged in the collaborative session may use computing devices interconnected with each other via a collaborative tool. The user context source may comprise a document, a file, a webpage, a search history, or an application. Context of the collaborative session, having a start and stop, may be established using a natural language processing system. The method may include adding one of the one or more keywords to the search string of one of the users participating in the collaborative session. In some embodiments, one user may be an expert user whose user context source may be the only user context source collected and analyzed during the collaborative session.

  • Patent number: 11113126
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for verified data transfer is provided. The present invention may include determining a first data type of a copy field including a copied data. The present invention may then include determining a second data type of a paste field intended for receiving the copied data. The present invention may further include, in response to identifying a mismatch between the first determined data type of the copy field including the copied data and the second determined data type of the paste field, preventing an input of the copied data into the paste field.
