Patent number: 11012899Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for controlling the delivery of voice communications. A profile is created for the user of a mobile device that specifies the thresholds for switching between a cellular network and a wireless network to conduct voice communications as well as stores a list of contacts and associated security levels. If the signal strength of the cellular radio signal is below a threshold, then the mobile device detects one or more wireless networks that are in the area of the user of the mobile device. The profile of the user of the mobile device is then checked to determine if the mobile device is authorized to switch to one of the detected wireless networks to deliver voice communications based on a security level associated with the party communicating with the user. In this manner, the user is able to control the delivery of voice communications.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2020Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Darryl M. Adderly, Jonathan W. Jackson, Ajit Jariwala, Eric B. Libow

Patent number: 10375437Abstract: A wireless connection may be established between a first computing device and a second computing device. A first media content may be displayed by the first computing device. The wireless connection may be determined to include a signal strength. The signal strength may be determined to be below a signal strength. In response to the determining that the wireless connection includes a signal strength and determining that the signal strength is below a threshold, a first bookmark may be generated. The first bookmark may reference a location within the first media content.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2015Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Darryl M.
