Patent number: 10289387Abstract: A method and system defines a mechanism to architect and define extensible methods and processes to build hybrid solutions. Solution templates provide a mechanism to architect and define the software development method in an extensible way and it enables the method architecture to be flexible to assemble method content and process elements only for those solution types that are necessary for a given solution. Solution templates keep the common base method lightweight and reusable and control the proliferation of software development processes necessary to build hybrid solutions by defining the solution templates for each of the solution types as pluggable extensions or add-ons to the base method that can be assembled on demand based on project needs.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2015Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ali P.

Patent number: 10108333Abstract: A method and associated systems for inferring insights from enhanced user input. A computerized messaging system identifies a user operating a mobile, location-enabled, “scribble” device and associates the user or the device with a domain of interest or with other metadata that characterizes the user. When the user enters an ad hoc “scribble” input via the device, the system automatically tags the input with the user's location, with sensory data received from one or more sensor devices, and with ancillary data received from extrinsic data repositories. The system may then consider this ancillary and sensory data in order to identify or infer rules or insights associated with the user and the scribble. These rules may then be used to identify targeted, user-specific steps to perform in response to receiving the scribble, where these user-specific steps accommodate a user preference without exposing confidential user information to a public data repository.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2015Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Faried Abrahams, Kerrie L. Holley, Gandhi Sivakumar
