Patent number: 9998457Abstract: Provided is a method for managing a software defined network using a software control layer to regulate a geo-fenced volume. The software control layer can use a Global Positioning System (GPS) including a range of latitudes, a range of longitudes and a range of altitudes. A resource within the geo-fenced volume can be assigned a location using the GPS coordinates. The resource can be managed by external applications that are operating through the software control layer. To determine an access of a device to the geo-fenced volume, the GPS coordinates, are gathered as a geographical location of the device. A user profile can be accessed to determine an access path of the user. Depending on the geographical location of the device a first condition can be generated based on the device being within the geo-fenced volume. A network permission can be granted to the device based on the first condition.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2017Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Franck Barillaud, Insoo Cho, Daniel M. Christiani, Mark R. Thill, David S. Zhang

Patent number: 9330681Abstract: Modulating a voice signal is provided. The voice signal corresponding to a voice communication is received from a sending voice communication device via a network. Voice signal features corresponding to the voice communication are extracted. A set of voice signal filters are selected to modulate the extracted voice signal features corresponding to the voice communication to an average voice signal associated with a geographic area where the voice communication is destined for. The voice signal features corresponding to the voice communication are modulated by applying the selected set of voice signal filters to generate the average voice signal associated with the geographic area where the voice communication is destined for.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2014Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Franck Barillaud, Insoo Cho, Dan Christiani, Mark R.

Patent number: 9280771Abstract: A method, programmed medium and system are provided for implementing a prebuilt and encrypted personal identification information (PII) profile which resides only on a user's computer and is prevented from being permanently stored in a server's database. When a user visits a web site and creates a new account, the site submits a request to query the user's profile using an extension to the HTTP protocol. The user is prompted by the user's browser to grant the site permission to do so and the site automatically uploads a non-personal identifying number (ID) to the user's system to create an account. User-selected fields of the PII are transmitted to the server for processing a user-requested transaction. All personal information remains on the user's computer within the user's encrypted PII profile and is deleted at the server after the completion of the requested transaction.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2009Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Franck Barillaud, Richard P. Christianson, Jing Huang, Richard Martin Scott, Joe Wesley Sutton, Jr.
