Patent number: 9691106Abstract: A method, data processing system, and computer program product for locating people. A mobile data processing system identifies a number of degrees of separation from a requestor for use in searching for the people. The mobile data processing system searches a network data processing system for data structures that contain information about associations between the people that are within the number of degrees of separation from the requestor to generate an initial group of people. The mobile network data processing system identifies a group of people from the initial group of people that are within a geographic location based on a location of the mobile data processing system and a portion of the group of people who are online. The mobile data processing system displays the portion of the group of people on a display device for the mobile data processing system.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2010Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: William Philip Shaouy, Matthew Adam Terry

Publication number: 20120222100Abstract: An embodiment of the invention is a CAPTCHA program to determine if a user of a computer is a human or a computer program. The program sends to the computer an image and a portion of the image for display. The program receives from the user an indication of where the portion is located within the image. The portion, as displayed, may be altered in various ways. In response to the user properly indicating the location, the program determines that the user of the computer is a human. In response to the user not properly indicating the location, the program determines that the user of the computer is a computer program. In response to determining that the user of the computer is a human, the program grants the user access to information (database, application, program). In response to determining that the user is a computer program, the program denies access.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2011Publication date: August 30, 2012Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Frank Clay Fisk, Sri Ramanathan, Matthew Adam Terry, Matthew Bunkley Trevathan
