  • Patent number: 10783713
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for enriching user sketched virtual objects in mixed reality scenes to provide more relevant content. Objects, including a virtual entity sketch and real and virtual objects, are identified in a mixed reality scene. The features for each of these objects are extracted, such as color, texture, parts, etc. A relative position and connectedness of the virtual entity sketch are computed with respect to the mixed reality scene as an object-object matrix using the extracted features. The object-object matrix is then augmented using open and closed regions of the mixed reality scene to create an inter-object relationship graph. The virtual entity sketch is then transmuted using the inter-object relationship graph. Content may then be retrieved using the transmuted virtual entity sketch. In this manner, content that is more relevant to the user can be retrieved based on augmenting and enriching the virtual entity sketch.

  • Patent number: 10775178
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and a system where a processor(s) monitors activities of a user operating a vehicle with a navigational device providing route guidance, via a first route, to a geographic destination. The processor(s) identifies driving patterns of the user to generate a driver profile for the user, including a baseline activity pattern. The processor(s) determines, at a given time, that the monitored activities of the user are outside of the baseline activity pattern and enables an integrated image capture device in the vehicle and captures images of an environment outside of a the vehicle. The processor(s) utilizes the image capture device, to capture images and derives data describing environmental conditions, based on performing a semantic analysis of the images. The processor(s) transmits the data to a repository and generates a second route to the destination, based on the driver profile and relevant data from the repository data.

  • Publication number: 20200272432
    Abstract: Transforming a user-interface modality of a software application can include identifying a first workflow segment corresponding to a UI modality of an application developed to run on a predetermined data processing platform and selecting one or more other workflow segments to transform the UI modality of the application. Each other workflow segment performs on a different data processing platform a function comparable to a function performable by the first workflow segment. The one or more other workflow segments can be selected from a multi-member set of alternative workflow segments that are semantically similar to the first workflow segment. The selecting can be based on classifying the first workflow segment with a classification model trained using machine learning to map workflow segments and corresponding UI modalities to different processing platforms.

  • Publication number: 20200193021
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for malware collusion detection in a mobile computing device. In one embodiment, a method for malicious inter-application interaction detection in a mobile computing device includes filtering applications installed in a mobile device to a set of related applications and then monitoring in the mobile device execution of the related applications in the set. The method additionally includes computing resource utilization of one of the related applications executing in a background of the mobile device while also computing execution performance of a different one of the related applications. Finally, the method includes responding to a determination that the computed resource utilization is high while the computed execution performance is poor by generating a notification in the display of the mobile device that the one of the related applications is suspected of malware collusion with the different one of the related applications.

  • Patent number: 10684938
    Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to debugging a set of code components of an application program. A set of defect data which indicates a set of defects may be collected with respect to an application program. The set of defect data may be derived from a set of post-compilation users of the application program. A set of test case data which indicates a set of user interface features of the application program may be collected with respect to the application program. The set of test case data may be derived from a set of development tests of the application program. Using both the set of defect data and the set of test case data, a set of fragility data for the set of code components of the application program may be determined. Based on the set of fragility data, the set of code components of the application program may be debugged.

  • Patent number: 10621074
    Abstract: A computer-implemented facility is provided for intelligent mobile device selection for mobile application testing. The computer-implemented facility determines features of a new mobile application to be tested, and compares the features of the new mobile application with features of multiple known mobile applications to identify one or more known mobile applications with similar features. Based at least in part on automated analysis of user reviews of the one or the more known mobile applications operating in one or more types of mobile devices, the facility provides one or more risk scores for operation of the new mobile application in the one or more types of mobile devices. Further, based on the risk scores, a recommended set of mobile devices in which to test the new mobile application may be generated for use in testing the new mobile application.

  • Patent number: 10606682
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, system, and computer program product for collecting serviceability data for analyzing a customer's issue. An analysis agent is launched upon initiation of a trace as a result of an error. The analysis agent accesses trace specification on a customer environment to determine an order of processing for a specific task. The analysis agent maps the trace specification to a set of APIs invoked by an operating system for the specific task. The analysis recreates the error in the customer environment based on the mapping of the trace specification to the set of APIs invoked by the operating system. The analysis agent diagnoses the error while monitoring the recreation of the error in the customer environment.

  • Patent number: 10257781
    Abstract: Context-based coordinated data retrieval for mobile devices is provided. An interface between application code of a mobile device and an operating system of the mobile device receives a declarative language based data-retrieval request made by the application code for data from an I/O device of the mobile device. Based on operating context of the mobile device, opportunistic coordination rule(s) are selected from a local rules cache, the rule(s) representative of at least one power-saving option for retrieving data for responding to the request. The rule(s) are evaluated to determine how to retrieve data for responding to the request, and action(s) are performed based on the evaluating, the action(s) including responding to the request.
