  • Patent number: 11652825
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for event management. In a method, a token is obtained at a first agent device that is included in a network system, the token is for authenticating a first packet that is transmitted in the network system, and the first packet is generated according to a first network format. A second packet is generated based on the first packet and the token according to a second network format. The second packet is transmitted to a second agent device that is included in the network system, here both of the first and second agent devices support the first and second network formats. With these embodiments, the packet may be authenticated in a more effective way.

  • Patent number: 11079932
    Abstract: Determining the position of a pop-up on a touch screen. Locations of user interactions on a touch screen are determined. Times are also determined for each of the user interactions. A hot spot on the touch screen is defined on the touch screen based on a number of user interactions occurring in proximity of one another during a particular period of time. In one or more embodiments, the particular time period corresponds with a most recent period of time. At least a portion of a pop-up is then displayed within the hot spot on the touch screen for user interaction.

  • Patent number: 11061709
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for storage management for deployment of a virtual machine is provided. The present invention may include receiving a request to deploy a virtual machine based on a master VM image. The present invention may also include determining a free disk space for the virtual machine. The present invention may then include determining a disk storage space storing the master VM image. The present invention may further include mapping the disk storage space and the free disk space into a single virtual storage. The present invention may include designating the single virtual storage to be a virtual storage of the virtual machine.
