Patent number: 11248922Abstract: Provided are techniques for a personalized, social navigation coach. While a commuter is commuting on a commute path, periodically, current conditions for the commute path are determined. One or more risk factors of having an accident based on the current conditions and a commute model are identified, where the one or more risk factors are associated with one or more icons, and where the commute model uses sensor data comprising historic data at different points in time. A graphic range is generated with an indicator that indicates an amount of risk of having an accident along the graphic range. The one or more icons and the graphic range are displayed.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2018Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Adam T.

Patent number: 10957213Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product for managing answer feasibility in a Question and Answering (QA) system. A set of candidate situations is established. The set of candidate situations corresponds to a first set of answers. A QA system establishes the set of candidate situations by analyzing a corpus. The first set of answers will answer a question. The QA system identifies a subset of the set of candidate situations. The subset of candidate situations corresponds to a portion of contextual data. The portion of contextual data is from a set of contextual data. The set of contextual data relates to the question. The question-answering system determines a set of answer feasibility factors. The set of answer feasibility factors is determined using the subset of candidate situations. The set of answer feasibility factors indicates the feasibility of the answers in the first set of answers.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Adam T.

Patent number: 10904376Abstract: A container agent executing on the mobile device receives a container from a container manager server in response to the mobile device being within the predetermined proximity of the physical location. The container comprises instructions that modify the original functionality of the mobile device. The container agent monitors operation of the mobile device to determine if the operation satisfies a triggering condition for execution of the container, and if so, executes the container. In response to the mobile device leaving the predetermined proximity of the physical location, the container agent removes the container from the mobile device and restores the original functionality of the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2020Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John E.
