Patent number: 10318276Abstract: A data patch for a program already installed in an interactive display computer system is received over a network and stored. There is also received a first set of parameters for controlling the installation of the patch. At the computer, a second set of parameters for controlling optimum installation time periods is predetermined wherein the data patch may be installed. The first and second sets of parameters are correlated to determine a set of optimum time periods during which the data patch may be installed, and this set of time periods are displayed so that a user may interactively select an optimum time period for installation of the data patch.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2017Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Judith Helen Bank, Liam Harpur, Ruthie D.

Patent number: 10026047Abstract: A method for crowd sourcing tasks may include identifying a group of potential candidates for crowd sourcing. Each candidate of the group of potential candidates may be identified based on the candidate being expected to accept a certain type of task. The certain type of task may be at least a task that is performable within a predetermined range of time. The method may also include receiving a request to perform a particular task from a requester. The method may additionally include determining if the particular task is the certain type of task. The method may further include transmitting an offer for performance of the particular task to at least a subgroup of the group of potential candidates in response to the particular task being the certain type of task.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2014Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Judith Helen Bank, Liam Harpur, Lin Sun, Patrick Joseph O'Sullivan, Ruthie D.

Patent number: 9945681Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for verification of a generated route in computer assisted navigation. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for verification of a generated route in computer assisted navigation is provided. The method includes receiving an origin and a destination in a mapping application executing in memory by a processor of a computer and generating a first route in the mapping application from the origin to the destination. The method also includes receiving a waypoint for the first route and determining whether or not the waypoint is proximate to the first route. Finally, the method includes validating the first route only if it is determined that the waypoint is proximate to the first route. In one aspect of the embodiment, the method also can include generating an alternative route to include the waypoint if it is determined that the waypoint is not proximate to the first route.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2009Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Judith Helen Bank, Lisa Marie Wood Bradley, Lin Sun, ChunHui Yang
