Patent number: 10904191Abstract: A method is provided for deleting a content element of a chat history lacking long-term relevance. The method includes receiving a content element, assigning the content element to a topic, determining a relationship index value for the content element to the topic using a validity value, which is a function of an access rate and a credibility index value. The method also includes comparing the relationship index threshold value for the topic of a first chat user, where the content element has been generated by a second chat user, and linking the content element of the second chat user to the topic in the chat history of the first user. The content element is deleted if it is not linked to any other chat history of another chat user of the plurality of chat users, thereby saving long-term chat storage space.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2019Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Simone Bonazzoli, Marco Borgianni, Claudio Falcone, Alessio Fioravanti, Giuseppe Longobardi, Silvano Lutri, Luigi Presti, Paolo Salerno, Alessandro Tomasi, Francesca Ziantoni

Patent number: 10771655Abstract: The present disclosure relates to system(s) and method(s) for transferring a document. The system receives a document comprising a set of letters, corresponding to a first area, and a set of images, corresponding to a second area. The system divides the first area into a first set of chunks and the second area into a second set of chunks. Further, the system adds a set of dummy chunks to the first set of chunks and the second set of chunks to generate a modified first set of chunks and a modified second set of chunks. Furthermore, the system rearranges position and dimensions of each chunk to generate a modified first area and a modified second area. The system generates a scrambled document based on the modified first area and the modified second area. The system further transfers the scrambled document to a receiver.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: HCL Technologies Italy S.p.A.Inventors: Giuseppe Longobardi, Giovanni Palumbo

Publication number: 20200204996Abstract: A system for performing a remote pre-authentication of a user-device for accessing network services of one or more wi-fi network services of one or more wi-fi network providers. A data capturing module captures wi-fi registration data and user registration data. A receiving module receives a trip code relating to a user's travel bookings. An identifying module identifies geographical locations corresponding to the set of travel bookings associated with the user. An auto-populating module auto-populates a set of wi-fi login forms corresponding to the geographical locations. A gathering module gathers real-time location data of the user. An over-riding module over-rides the wi-fi registration process when the user comes within the range of the wi-fi service provider.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2018Publication date: June 25, 2020Inventors: GIUSEPPE LONGOBARDI, RICCARDO PIZZUTILO, ILARIA GORGA, LUIGI PRESTI
