Patent number: 10380555Abstract: A method and system is provided for policy driven, online meeting updates during the course of an electronic meeting. The invention defines one or more groups of participants in an electronic meeting, and assigns a unique relative priority to each group of participants. Meeting events, such as slide changes or other data that is sent to the various participants for viewing, are transmitted to the various groups in a sequence ordered by the relative priorities assigned to the groups. Alternatively, the invention provides for randomly staggering the delivery of data to the various groups. Both embodiments alleviate the scalability problems that arise for electronic meetings having large numbers of participants.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2003Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Erik J. Burckart, James Patrick Galvin, Jr., Brian L. Pulito

Patent number: 10108596Abstract: Version control for a document can include receiving from a user a request to commit one or more revisions to a master document in a document repository. The one or more revisions can be included in a local copy of the master document. A processor can determine whether an accept only designation is assigned to at least a portion of the local copy. In response to a determination that an accept only designation is assigned to at least a portion of the local copy, the respective revisions assigned an accept only designation can be disallowed from incorporation into the master document. Revisions made to the master document can be sent to the user for incorporation into the user's local copy of the master document. Such sending is not prevented by the assignment of an accept only designation to at least a portion of the local copy of the master document.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2017Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Erik J.

Patent number: 10089283Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for mobile enablement of webpages (e.g., HTML webpages). In one example, mechanisms are provided for refactoring Java Server Pages “JSP” of a web application into an abstraction layer that partitions the visual presentation elements of HTML pages of the web application into a set of views and a Javascript home page. Further, mechanisms are provided for enabling access to the HTML pages over a mobile device by stacking views one atop another (in one specific example, the views may be rendered only one view at a time as needed; in another specific example any number of views (e.g., all of the views) may be rendered at once). Further, mechanisms are provided for enabling navigation between the views for the HTML pages by providing buttons along with each view.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2013Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Erik J.

Patent number: 9799001Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a social network. The methods involve: creating a relationship between a first entity and a second entity; setting authorization which indicates that a user of said first entity is authorized to view inventory data of said second entity; receiving a request to view first inventory data of said first entity and second inventory data of said second entity by said user; and determining whether said user is authorized to view said second inventory data. If said user is authorized: querying a first remote inventory management system of said first entity for said first inventory data and a second remote inventory management system of said second entity for said second inventory data; receiving said first and second inventory data; generating an aggregate view comprising said first and second inventory data; and providing content of said aggregate view to a client computing device of said first entity.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2015Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Erik J.

Patent number: 9736017Abstract: The present invention is a method, system and apparatus for configuring a client-side communications protocol stack. In a method of the invention, a mapping can be consulted to determine a set of client-side protocol stack components which correspond to a set of protocol stack components in a server side protocol stack instance. Subsequently, a listing can be created of the determined set of client-side protocol stack components. Finally, the listing can be published for access by externally disposed client computing processes. Preferably, the listing can be reversed. Also, the consulting step further can include determining at least one attribute to be applied to at least one of the client-side protocol stack components when enabling a client-side protocol stack to interoperate with the server-side protocol stack instance.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2015Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Erik J.
