  • Patent number: 11695625
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for dynamic internet of things (IoT) device grouping is provided. After an initial location of an IoT device is set, a current location of the IoT device is later determined. Thereafter, the determined current location is compared to the initial location. Responsive to determining that the current location does not match the initial location based on the comparing, a new IoT device group is assigned to the IoT device.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220198548
    Abstract: Generating a digital twin template for a set of physical assets based upon several considerations including a pattern usage analysis that takes into account the current and historical operating data for the set of physical assets. The current and historical operating data for the set of physical assets is processed by an Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) solution to ultimately generate a useful digital twin template for a given user to consistently make informed decisions with respect to the various modes of operating and/or maintaining the set of physical assets.

  • Patent number: 11012899
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for controlling the delivery of voice communications. A profile is created for the user of a mobile device that specifies the thresholds for switching between a cellular network and a wireless network to conduct voice communications as well as stores a list of contacts and associated security levels. If the signal strength of the cellular radio signal is below a threshold, then the mobile device detects one or more wireless networks that are in the area of the user of the mobile device. The profile of the user of the mobile device is then checked to determine if the mobile device is authorized to switch to one of the detected wireless networks to deliver voice communications based on a security level associated with the party communicating with the user. In this manner, the user is able to control the delivery of voice communications.

  • Patent number: 10938976
    Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: a voice delivery application, running on a mobile device of a user, receives a text message from a user; by use of sensor inputs of the mobile device, the mobile device stores data regarding environment of the mobile device including external audio equipment, speed of the user, and bystanders within a hearing range of the environment; various data describing a sender of the text message and the bystanders are analyzed for respective relationships with the user and with each other to determine a confidentiality group dictating whether or not the text message may be heard by the bystander; the text message may be scanned for content screening, then according to configuration of the voice delivery application, the text message is securely delivered to the user by voice.

  • Patent number: 10917495
    Abstract: Updating a profile includes monitoring electronic communications between a target user and a number of other users in real-time, extracting communicated information available about the target user and the number of other users from the electronic communications, based on an analysis of the communicated information available about the target user and the number of other users identifying relevant information from the communicated information that is relevant for updating the profile of the target user on at least one social network, and updating the profile of the target user on the at least one social network using the relevant information derived from the analysis.

  • Patent number: 10762072
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention pertains to processing messages received from a set of devices. A mapping of message fields to fact table columns is stored in a mapping table of a relational database. The method comprises, for each received message, determining all fields of the received message. If it is determined that the mapping table does not assign a fact table column to each of the determined fields of the message, a new mapping between message fields to respective fact table is automatically stored in the mapping table. A mapping is identified in the mapping table that assigns each of the determined fields of the message to a respective one of the columns of the fact table. The field values of the message are stored in the fact table in accordance with the identified mapping.

  • Patent number: 10375437
    Abstract: A wireless connection may be established between a first computing device and a second computing device. A first media content may be displayed by the first computing device. The wireless connection may be determined to include a signal strength. The signal strength may be determined to be below a signal strength. In response to the determining that the wireless connection includes a signal strength and determining that the signal strength is below a threshold, a first bookmark may be generated. The first bookmark may reference a location within the first media content.
