Patent number: 10397214Abstract: An authentication approval request can be received by a first system from a second system. The first system can determine whether the user is required to be logged into at least a second online account hosted by at least a third system unrelated to the second system in order to approve the authentication request. If the user is required to be logged into at least the second online account in order to approve the authentication request, the first system can determine whether the user presently is logged into at least the second online account in at least one presently active user session. If the user presently is logged into at least the second online account in at least one presently active user session, the first system can communicate to the second system a response indicating that the user is approved for authentication with the second system.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2018Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Daniel J. Butterfield, Tsz S. Cheng, Gregory P. Fitzpatrick

Patent number: 9934476Abstract: A computer identifies a location that is associated with a task, included in a first list of tasks, based on a first information. The computer determines a first travel time from a second location that is associated with a mobile device to the first location based on a second information. The second information indicates an amount of travel time that is associated with a route from the second location to the first location. The computer generates a plurality of permutations of the tasks included in the first list of tasks. The computer selects a permutation from the plurality of permutations based on the first travel time. The computer generates a second list of tasks using the selected permutation. The organization of the tasks included in the second list of tasks reduces the travel time that is required to complete those tasks.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2017Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gregory P.

Patent number: 9037964Abstract: A direct manipulation event associated with a chart of an analytics report can be detected. The event can be a user interface input and the chart can be an information graphic. The graphic can be a graphically rendered HTML compliant element and a data set. The report can conform to a JAVASCRIPT OBJECT NOTATION (JSON) format. The analytics report can be presented within a browser. An action can be run responsive to the detecting. The action can be an immediate rendering of the graphic based on the event. When the action executes a request for data not in the data set data from a different data set can be obtained. When the action executes a request for data in the data set, the data from the data set can be automatically retrieved. The analytics data can be immediately rendered as a chart within the canvas element of an HTML document.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2012Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: James P.
