  • Patent number: 10671272
    Abstract: A method, program product, and system for inputting Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) characters into a touchscreen-enabled device is provided. The touchscreen-enabled device receives a plurality of finger touch events. Each of the plurality of finger touch events is a CJK text input stroke associated with a corner of the touchscreen-enabled device. A finger touch movement direction on the touchscreen-enabled device is determined for each of the plurality of finger touch events. In response to determining the finger touch movement direction, the finger touch movement direction associated with each of the plurality of finger touch events is converted to a numeric index value. The corner that is activated by each of the plurality of finger touch events is determined and associated to the numeric index value.

  • Patent number: 10671385
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes detecting a first user is editing a first version of a content piece. A first feature set value is determined, describing a first set of values of one or more features of the first version. Based on the first feature set value, a first maturity score of the first version is determined, using a mapping. It is detected that a second user is editing a second version of the content piece in parallel with the first user editing the first version. A second feature set value is determined, describing a second set of values of the one or more features of the second version of the content piece. Based on the second feature set value, a second maturity score of the second version is determined, using the mapping. It is detected that the second maturity score meets a maturity threshold. Thus, a remedial action is performed.

  • Patent number: 10667134
    Abstract: Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for credential management. Aspects include obtaining a first biometric information by a first processing device, wherein the first processing device has stored one or more credentials. Then, responsive to obtaining the first biometric information, the method determines whether the first biometric information is valid. The method then creates, via the first processing device, an ad-hoc network based upon the determination that the first biometric information is valid.
