Patent number: 9659089Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for managing work and personal items. Information is received from a user to populate a user profile providing rules to determine a priority for work and personal items to be addressed by the user. Work and personal data sources (e.g., e-mails, social media) are monitored. The content in these monitored data sources are scanned and analyzed for work and personal items to be addressed by the user. These work and personal items are then presented to the user in a prioritized order based on the rules in the user profile. In this manner, the user is able to effectively manage the various work and personal items from various data sources by receiving a prioritized list of work and personal items that need to be addressed based on various factors that the user deems to be important as provided in the user's profile.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2013Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Donald E. Buddenbaum, Peter F. Haggar, Heather M. Kreger, Arnaud J. Le Hors, John V. Meegan, Keith A. Wells

Patent number: 8893218Abstract: A method for associating service policies based on application of message content filters to messages sent by a consumer may include receiving a message in which the message relates to a service accessible via a network and access to the service is restricted by a policy enforcement runtime. The method may further include applying at least one message content filter to the message content received to extract information indicative of a message flow associated with a configured policy attachment and correlating the message flow to a selected policy regarding consumer access to the service. The method may further include enforcing the selected policy relative to access to the service by the consumer.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2012Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mario E. De Armas, Steven Groeger, Heather M. Kreger, Robert G. Laird, Arnaud J. Le Hors
