  • Patent number: 11102157
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for recommending viewing of an image includes obtaining, using a processor system, a visual image of an object relating to a particular subject matter. The method also includes determining the location of the object. A plurality of friend records is provided wherein the friend records identify interest in respective subject matter and the general location of the friend. A friend interested in the subject matter of the object is identified and their respective location. If the object is potentially viewable to the interested friend, a notification of the object is sent to the individual.

  • Patent number: 11093712
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and system for communicating information to a user via a graphical user interface of a computer. An embodiment may include displaying a visual cue corresponding to a suggestion for text substitution within a text representation of a media file, wherein the suggestion for text substitution is generated in response to identification of any one or combination of a repeated word, a repeated phrase, and a filler, and wherein the suggestion for text substitution is based on an aggregation of one or more of characteristics of the text representation of the media file.

  • Patent number: 11048746
    Abstract: At a device of a sender, a screen capture image is captured from a first portion of data presented on the device by a data source. Historical messaging data is analyzed to compute a set of topics in which the sender has participated. Using a topic from the set of topics as a context, a second portion of the data presented on the device by the data source is searched to extract an additional information from the second portion, the additional information corresponding to the context. the additional information is associated with the screen capture image. The screen capture image and the additional information are caused to be transmitted in a messaging channel.

  • Patent number: 10776504
    Abstract: A method and associated system. Before allowing a user to use a secured resource, a first security check may be performed with respect to the user and/or the secured resource to determine whether a first security condition is satisfied. In response to a first security condition being satisfied, allowing the user to use the secured resource. In response to failing to satisfy the at least one first security condition, performing a second security check on the user with a second security condition. In response to passing a second security condition, allowing the user to use the secured resource. The first security condition may include a dynamic evaluation of at least one available data point to calculate a projected security risk of the user using the secured resource and the level of complexity of the second security condition may be set based on the calculated projected security risk.

  • Patent number: 10558721
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, program products, and systems to filter content returned by a search tool by associating an indication that content fulfills a first request, with the first request, the content that fulfills a first request for information, and other metadata associated with the indication. Embodiments can then add to a database the respectively associated first request for information, the content, and the other metadata and in response to receiving a second request that is related to the first request, identify the added content and additional content that fulfills the second request and compile a list of the added content and the additional content and manipulate the order of the compiled list based, at least in part, on metadata associated with the added content, the additional content identified from the database, and metadata stored in a customizable user profile.
