Patent number: 9564037Abstract: A processor of a first loss-prevention configured mobile device detects a second loss-prevention configured mobile device in proximity of the first loss-prevention configured mobile device. Responsive to detecting the first and the second loss-prevention configured mobile devices in proximity, spatial separation of the first loss-prevention configured mobile device from the second loss-prevention configured mobile device beyond a configured separation distance is detected. A voice of an owner of the second loss-prevention configured mobile device is detected at the first loss-prevention configured mobile device located beyond the configured separation distance. An alert is generated at the first loss-prevention configured mobile device that indicates that the owner of the second loss-prevention configured mobile device is separated from the second loss-prevention configured mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2015Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Marcus L.

Publication number: 20140325327Abstract: Problem links (for example, links to web pages) are replaced by replacement resources (for example, web pages). A process for determining a replacement resource includes a collecting step and an identifying step. In the collecting step, in response to a determination that a problem link condition exists within the source document, context information is collected for the source document. In the identifying step, at least a first replacement resource is identified based, at least in part, upon the context information. The identity of problem links, along with associated replacement resource(s), may be stored in a network accessible cache or repository.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2013Publication date: October 30, 2014Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Marcus L.

Publication number: 20120166351Abstract: A method for assisting customer knowledge using social media data. Responses to text-based posts regarding compatibility of an updated product with respect to other products/components in a complex product environment are aggregated and used to create what is referred to herein as a “dynamic account.” The dynamic account contains information regarding the compatibility of an updated product from a particular vendor/company with other products from other vendors/companies, where these products are used in combination in a complex product environment. This knowledge base may be used by users of a social network system who are customers of these companies to keep them informed regarding compatibility issues when an update to a product occurs.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2012Publication date: June 28, 2012Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Marcus L.
