  • Patent number: 11494783
    Abstract: Auditing shelf space of an outlet of a retailer using a device comprising: a computer, a camera, a global positioning system receiver and a repository. The device is authenticated using the time and date of the audit, and a location of the audit at the outlet of the retailer. Once the device is authenticated, images of displays within the outlet and audit information relating to the display and the outlet of the retailer are captured and audit information is embedded into the captured image. The captured image is encrypted and sent to a remote computer of a checker company for a compliance check.

  • Patent number: 10231116
    Abstract: A communication access server may provide a client service for communication access services. The communication access server may authenticate a user having an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) and registering user credentials. The communication access server may activate a communication interception service at a communication service provider (CSP) system for the IMSI. The communication access server may receive an intercepted communication from the CSP system and send the intercepted communication to the client service for access by a user.

  • Patent number: 9684708
    Abstract: In an approach for creating a machine-to-machine device model based on ontological relationship, one or more computer processors determine a plurality of characteristics of one or more machine-to-machine devices within a machine-to-machine communication environment. The one or more computer processors determine one or more ontological relationships between the one or more machine-to-machine devices and the plurality of characteristics of the one or more machine-to-machine devices. The one or more computer processors create a semantic device model, based, at least in part, on the one or more ontological relationships between the one or more machine-to-machine devices and the plurality of characteristics of the one or more machine-to-machine devices.

  • Publication number: 20160371626
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product includes a processing device extracting content from a user's communications associated with a project, where the project includes events, and where the events are assigned to a user. The processing device monitors the extracted content and stores the extracted content in a repository for patterns. The processing device detects in the extracted content, the patterns associated with at least one of: a behavior of the user, the events, or execution of the events.

  • Publication number: 20150026002
    Abstract: A smart home environment shopping system. One or more inventory needs lists are received from one or more respective smart appliances. Sources for available inventory items on the received inventory needs lists are identified, based on pre-defined rules. In another aspect of the invention, the available items are displayed to a user, and one or more inputs indicating inventory items to purchase are received. In a further aspect, associated metadata for one or more of the available items is displayed, the metadata including one or more of: price, discounts, quality, brand, flavor, user reviews, and advertisements. In a further aspect, one or more optimal travel routes connecting all identified sources of the available inventory items on the received inventory needs lists are determined.

  • Patent number: 8140590
    Abstract: A method and system for dynamically generating a semantically correct user interface (UI) panel for a service request and automatically mapping input data for service-oriented architecture-based system management applications. A document is received that includes semantic annotations specifying semantics of elements of a service request input message. During runtime, a UI panel is generated based on the semantics and by interpreting metadata generated by interpreting hints included in the document. Further, the semantic annotations may include a mapping definition of information technology (IT) resource selections. Based on the mapping definition, the IT resource selections are extracted from a registry and automatically mapped to a UI input element in a UI panel. In response to selecting an IT resource from the UI panel, properties of the selected IT resource are automatically mapped to an element of the service request input message according to the semantic annotations.
