Patent number: 9807160Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing autonomic content load balancing. A programmatic selection is made from among alternative content versions based upon current conditions. Preferably, the alternative selectable versions specify content to be used in a Web page, and a version is selected responsive to receiving a request for the Web page. The selectable version may comprise the Web page, or a component of a Web page may have selectable versions. Optionally, the Web page may include more than one component with dynamically-selectable content. In this case, the versions may be selectable independently of one another.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2017Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Nathanael F. Ehrich, Niraj P. Joshi, Kimberly D. Kenna, Robert C. Leah

Patent number: 7853690Abstract: Non-invasive collection of data is presented. A server segments a web page into regions and sends the segmented web page along with a data collector program to a client in response to receiving a client request. The client displays the web page and loads the data collector program which initiates particular event handlers to monitor user event activity corresponding to the displayed web page. When the user performs a user event, such as moving his mouse into a particular web page region, the data collector program collects user event data and associates the user event data with the particular web page region. When the user event is complete, the data collector program sends the collected user event data to the server.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2008Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nathanael F.

Patent number: 7519704Abstract: Filtering non-invasive data collection is presented. A server segments a web page into regions and sends the segmented web page along with a data collector program to a client. The client loads the web page whereupon the data collector program detects a user event corresponding to one of the regions. The data collector program uses one or more collection threshold settings to filter user event data corresponding to the user event. The server receives collected user event data and sends an acknowledgement message to the client whereby indicating that the server received the user event data intact. The server may also adjust one or more collection threshold settings and include the adjusted collection threshold settings in the acknowledgement message.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2003Date of Patent: April 14, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nathanael F.

Patent number: 7475350Abstract: A method to correlate and consolidate a plurality of events may include consolidating each of the plurality of events to form a multi-personality event. Each event may be emitted from a respective one of a plurality of components forming an event producer in response to an incident affecting the event producer. The method may also include providing the multi-personality event to an event consumer.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2005Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ryan A.

Patent number: 7308649Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for improved handling of alternative content selection. Using these techniques, content designers specify alternative content views that are designed for use under different conditions, and a particular alternative view is programmatically selected (according to applicable conditions) when preparing content for delivery to a target. Preferably, the alternative views are provided on a component-level basis, where the selected component view or version then forms part of a larger view (such as a Web page). Optionally, more than one component may be designed to vary simultaneously. In this case, the components may vary independently of one another.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2003Date of Patent: December 11, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nathanael F.
