Patent number: 10678404Abstract: A first user input event initiating a transition of a GUI from a first state to a second state is generated in response to detecting a first user input received by the GUI. A first spatial location in the GUI selected by the first user input can be identified. A second user input event is generated in response to detecting a second user input received by the GUI while the GUI is in the second state. A second spatial location in the GUI selected by the second user input can be identified. A level of discontinuity between the first user input and the second user input can be determined. If the level of discontinuity does not exceed a threshold value, at least one user input event handling process can be selected to process the second user input event based on the level of discontinuity not exceeding the discontinuity threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2017Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshio Horiuchi, Tsend Ochir Bat Ulzii, Tomoko Murayama, Masaki Saitoh, Masayuki Yamana

Patent number: 10606621Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for assisting users to execute content in a user's computing environment. A user copying and pasting content from a first electronic document is detected, where the content is set as a first character string. Furthermore, the modification of the copied content is detected, where the modification includes modification of parameters of the user's computing environment to implement execution of the copied content and the modified copied content is set as a second character string. The first and second character strings as well as the modification points are registered in a repository. The modification points include the modified parameters of the first user's computing environment. By matching the character string copied by a second user from a second electronic document with one of the registered character strings, the second user may be presented with the modification points associated with the matching character string.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2018Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yoshio Horiuchi, Tsend Ochir Bat Ulzii, Masaki Saitoh, Tomoko Murayama, Masayuki Yamana

Patent number: 9993209Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system dynamically monitors a patient's physiological condition and location information to generate an alarm signal to enable the patient to timely administer a health substance. Initially, the system monitors location information of a health substance and the patient and physiological information of the patient. A processor in the system determines a predicted time when the patient may attain a physiological condition for receiving the health substance and may further determine a transit time for the patient to travel to a location of the health substance. Based on the predicted and transit times, the system issues an alarm signal to the patient prior to the predicted time. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for monitoring a patient's physiological condition and location information to generate an alarm signal in substantially the same manner described above.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2017Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kanako Fujitani, Mariko Ishige, Yusuke Nishitani, Yutaka Oishi, Tatsuya Sobue, Masayuki Yamana
