Publication number: 20250008196Abstract: A method for identifying video clips for inclusion in a targeted communication is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes receiving video footage comprising multiple clips. The method receives multiple information streams that are associated with the video footage and synchronizes the information streams with the video footage. The method applies weights to the information streams, aggregates the weighted information streams, and identifies peaks therein. Clips are then selected from the video footage that correspond to the peaks for inclusion in a targeted communication. The method analyzes metrics from the targeted communication to provide feedback in order to optimize the weights. In certain embodiments, optimizing the weights leads to selecting different clips for inclusion in the targeted communication. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2023Publication date: January 2, 2025Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mikael Hillborg, Shaheer Jamal Syed, Emma Jane Dawson

Patent number: 12099595Abstract: Technology for password entry security that monitors a text entry field that is not an appropriate text entry field for password entry, and, on condition that a user enters a first portion of a designated user password into the text entry field, then machine logic deletes and/or obscures at least the first portion of the password from the text entry field so that it cannot be espied or intercepted by unauthorized parties. IN some embodiments, an integer number N is designated to determine how many characters must be in the first portion entered by the user before the password text is deleted or obscured.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2022Date of Patent: September 24, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sally L Howard, Timothy Andrew Moran, Emma Jane Dawson, Katherine Rose Farmer

Patent number: 12032900Abstract: Concepts for populating a data entry field with data are proposed. Specifically, by identifying a context of a data entry field of a target application and analyzing a dataset from source applications based on the identified context, the data entry field may be automatically populated with relevant data. In this way, data from source applications may be transferred to data entry fields of a target application without the need for a user to memorize (or otherwise manually transfer) the data. Accordingly, this decreases time consumed and frustration of the user, while reducing the rate of copying errors.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2021Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Samantha Catling, Ashleigh Shona Denholm, Emma Jane Dawson, Jack Peter Wadsted

Patent number: 11907875Abstract: A collaborative development project having a plurality of contributors is provided. A first contributor of the plurality of contributors as an influencer of the collaborative development project. Contributions of the influencer to a sample project are analyzed to determine a development characteristic of the influencer. One or more development rules are then generated based on the determined development characteristic of the influencer. Further, a second contributor of the plurality of contributors may be identified as a follower of the development project. Identified contributions of the follower may then be modified based on the obtained one or more development rules.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2019Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ashleigh Shona Denholm, Emma Jane Dawson, Jack Peter Wadsted, Samantha Catling

Patent number: 11909703Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for processing comments provided to a live chat stream. By way of example, embodiments obviate or mitigate problems associated with conventional live chat streams by assessing semantic uniqueness of collections of comments in a live chat stream and then determining a final importance score for each collection based on its semantic-uniqueness and activity score. The display of each collection can then be controlled based on its final importance score.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Emma Jane Dawson, Gwilym Benjamin Lee Newton

Patent number: 11899910Abstract: Provided is a computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for multi-location copying and context-based pasting. A processor may collect a plurality of copied data elements into a clipboard manager. The processor may compare, in response to a paste function being initialized into an input field of a plurality of input fields, the copied data elements and associated metadata with contextual data associated with the plurality of input fields. The processor may calculate, based on the comparing, a data environment confidence value and an individual confidence value for each copied data element with respect to a level of matching the contextual data associated with the input fields. The processor may generate, based on the calculating, an overall confidence value for the copied data elements. The processor may compare the overall confidence value of the copied data elements to a set of confidence thresholds associated with completing the paste function.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Samantha Catling, Emma Jane Dawson, Ashleigh Shona Denholm, Jack Peter Wadsted
