Patent number: 10832238Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a system and method for a transaction system supporting universal ticket solutions for transportation. A fund managing device determines whether a first fund of an account of a user has sufficient credit to satisfy a transportation fee imposed by a first city. The account of the user includes separate funds for different cities, where the funds include credit in different national currencies. An account managing device determines whether other funds of the account of the user have additional credit to satisfy the transportation fee imposed by the first city when the first fund of the account of the user does not have sufficient funds to satisfy the transportation fee imposed by the first city. A financial managing device determines costs for transferring credit to the first fund from the other funds of the account of the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Carlos H. Cardonha, Kiran Mantripragada

Patent number: 10267950Abstract: A populace centric weather forecast system, method of forecasting weather and a computer program product therefor. A forecasting computer applies a grid to a forecast area and provides a weather forecast for each grid cell. Area activity data sources indicate human activity in the forecast area. A dynamic selection module iteratively identifies grid cells for refinement in response to the weather forecast and to indicated/expected human activity. The dynamic selection module provides the forecasting computer with a refined grid for each identified grid cell in each iteration. The forecasting computer provides a refined weather forecast in each iteration.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2011Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Victor Fernandes Cavalcante, Ricardo Guimaraes Herrmann, Kiran Mantripragada, Marco Aurelio Stelmar Netto, Lucas Correia Villa Real, Cleidson Ronald Botelho De Souza

Patent number: 9945980Abstract: A infrastructure sensitivity centric weather forecast system, method of forecasting weather and a computer program product therefor. A forecasting computer applies a grid to a forecast area, locates infrastructure, e.g. power grid infrastructure, in the area and determines weather effects on infrastructure in each grid cell. A targeted selection module iteratively identifies grid cells for refinement in response to the weather effects on cell infrastructure. In each iteration a refined grid is applied to each grid cell identified as containing infrastructure that may be sensitive, or vulnerable, to expected weather. The forecasting computer refines the area considered to focus on area infrastructure and sensitivities/vulnerabilities to expected weather.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2013Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sergio Borger, Renato Fontoura De Gusmao Cerqueira, Kiran Mantripragada, Ulisses T.
