Patent number: 11941074Abstract: A query scheme is presented in which a query filter data structure is created and utilized to determine whether to obtain live query data from a storage server or aged data within an associated dataset. The number of queries to the storage server may be reduced and overall efficiency of the query system is increased. Another query scheme is presented to adjust the frequency of a dataset refresh based upon a user defined data age parameter indication that is contained a subsequent query and/or based upon whether a frequency of storage server queries is above a predetermined threshold. The propensity of obtaining query results from a dataset is increased while the propensity of queries to the storage server decreases, thereby increasing query system efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ilse M.

Patent number: 11138870Abstract: In response to receiving a request from a user device for an on-demand crossing of a roadway at a geo-location, a method determines whether connected vehicles on the roadway are approaching the geo-location. A wait-to-cross-the-roadway message is sent to the user's device. In response to determining connected vehicles are approaching the geo-location, a direction, distance, and speed of connected vehicles relative to the geo-location are determined. Instructions are sent to the connected vehicles to reduce speed and allow the user to cross the roadway, including a message to the user device explaining a purpose of the instructions. In response to determining the one or more connected vehicles comply with the instructions, the one or more processors send a safe-to-cross message to the user, and upon detecting successful roadway crossing of the user device, instructing the connected vehicles to resume travel.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2020Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John A.
