Patent number: 11151154Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product generates and utilizes synthetic context-based objects. One or more processors define a context object, where the context object provides a context that identifies a specific subject-matter, from multiple subject-matters, of a non-contextual data object. The processor(s) associate the non-contextual data object with the context object to define a synthetic context-based object and the synthetic context-based object with at least one specific data store. A request is received from a requester for data from said at least one specific data store that is associated with the synthetic context-based object, where said at least one specific data store is within a database of multiple data stores. Data is returned to the requester from said at least one specific data store that is associated with the synthetic context-based object.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2018Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Samuel S.

Publication number: 20190387057Abstract: A system is provided for inferring sensor topology in a structure. The system includes a receiver, a server communicatively coupled to the receiver and a sensor topology engine communicatively coupled to the receiver and the server. The receiver is configured to receive identification information that sensors have been and deployed throughout the structure to sense a presence of an operator and to receive sensor readings from the sensors and couple the sensor readings to the sensor topology engine. The sensor topology engine is further configured analyze the identification information and the sensor readings to infer zones of the multiple spaces in which the presence of the operator is sensed by at least one of the sensors, borders of each of the zones, and dead zones adjacent to one or more of the zones in which the presence of the operator is not sensed and build a topological graph.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2018Publication date: December 19, 2019Inventors: Samuel S.

Patent number: 10452660Abstract: A method, computer program product and system for generating and maintaining synthetic context events. The steps include searching a data structure of synthetic context-based objects and associated data for a pattern of context exhibited at a first specified frequency within a first specified time period; combining the synthetic context-based objects and associated data exhibiting the pattern of context exhibited at the first specified frequency within the first specified time period into a synthetic context event; and optimizing and maintaining the synthetic context event by searching the data structure for additional synthetic context-based objects and associated data exhibiting a same pattern of context at a second specified time period different than the first specified time period and adding the additional synthetic context-based objects and associated data to the synthetic context event.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2015Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Samuel S.

Patent number: 10152526Abstract: A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product generates and utilizes synthetic context-based objects. A non-contextual data object is associated with a context object, which comports with a predetermined set of constraints, to define a synthetic context-based object, where the non-contextual data object ambiguously relates to multiple subject-matters, and where the context object provides a context that identifies a specific subject-matter, from the multiple subject-matters, of the non-contextual data object. The synthetic context-based object is then associated with at least one specific data store, which includes data that is associated with data contained in the non-contextual data object and the context object. A request for a data store that is associated with the synthetic context-based object results in the return of at least one data store that is associated with the synthetic context-based object.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2013Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Samuel S.

Patent number: 10127303Abstract: A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product measures and displays facets in context-based conformed dimensional data gravity wells. Conformed dimensional objects and synthetic context-based objects are parsed into n-tuples. A virtual mass of each parsed object is calculated, in order to define a shape of multiple context-based conformed dimensional data gravity wells that are created when data objects that are pulled into each of the context-based conformed dimensional data gravity well frameworks on a context-based conformed dimensional gravity wells membrane. Data from the multiple context-based conformed dimensional data gravity wells then populates nodes in a data model. A displayed appearance of the particular context-based conformed dimensional data gravity well is dynamically adjusted according to how many parsed synthetic context-based objects are pulled into the particular context-based conformed dimensional data gravity well.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2016Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Samuel S.

Patent number: 9971838Abstract: A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product mitigate subjectively disturbing content. A context-based data gravity wells membrane supports one or more gravity wells, which hold subjectively disturbing synthetic context-based objects made up of a non-contextual data object, a first context object, and a second context object. The first context object defines the non-contextual data object, and the second context object describes how subjectively disturbing content generated by combining the non-contextual data object and the first context object is according to predefined parameters described by the second context object. New content is passed across the context-based data gravity wells membrane.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2015Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Samuel S.

Patent number: 9811683Abstract: A computer system securely accesses a specific data store. A non-contextual data object is associated with a context object to define a first synthetic context-based object. The non-contextual data object ambiguously describes multiple types of persons, and the context object provides a circumstantial context that identifies a specific type of person from the multiple types of persons. The first synthetic context-based object is associated with at least one specific data store in a data structure. A string of binary data that describes a requester of data, including a time window for receipt and security level of the requester, is received by the computer system for generating a new synthetic context-based object. If there is a match between the new synthetic context-based object, the first synthetic context-based object, and the security level of the requester, then the data is returned to the requester by the computer system.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2016Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Samuel S.

Patent number: 9785373Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product stores and retrieves payload data using a ternary content addressed memory (TCAM) hybrid memory. TCAM data is transmitted to a context masking device. The TCAM data identifies a type of payload data, and the context masking device masks the TCAM data with a context mask to create a masked TCAM data. One or more processors append the masked TCAM to payload data to create multiple stored units of TCAM-identified payload data in a location addressable store (LAS). The processor(s) receive a request for data. The request includes a masked request TCAM data that identifies a content and context of requested data. An exclusive OR (XOR) chip identifies relevant payload data within the LAS that are within a predefined Hamming distance of the masked request TCAM data. The processor(s) return the relevant payload data within the LAS to the requester.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2015Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Samuel S.
