Publication number: 20240095290Abstract: A computer-implemented method for filtering search engine results for a user is provided. The method includes maintaining a filtration layer that is opted into by a search engine and a client device. The method further includes building a user search interaction model, operatively coupled to the filtration layer, based on a user's profile and historic search results by performing a topic analysis on a user's interactions with the historic search results and selecting a subset of relevant topics based on respective amounts of user interaction. The user interaction includes interactions on a plurality of different devices. The method also includes filtering search results produced for a particular user search query on the client device using the user search interaction model and the filtration layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Zachary A.

Patent number: 11902356Abstract: Computer technology for performing a download of a set of file(s) by multiple computer devices. Different computer devices respectively download different parts of the set of files and respectively encapsulate them with file wrappers to create multiple “sealed off portions.” Each sealed off portion indicates what portion of the code of the set of file(s) is in that sealed off portion. The multiple sealed off portions are transferred (for example, over a local area network) to another computer device, which may, or may not, be one of the multiple computers that created one of the sealed off portions, and this computer device assembles the sealed off portions to re-create the set of file(s).Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Johnny Shieh, Kelley Anders, Jessica Murillo
