Publication number: 20220083932Abstract: An event at a location is identified. An event risk of the event can be calculated based on risk characteristics of both the location of the event (“location risk characteristics”) and the event itself (“personnel risk characteristics”). Location risk characteristics can include a visitor history of the location. Personnel risk characteristics can be based on attendees of the event, such as a number of attendees. The overall event risk, once calculated, can be compared to a threshold. Depending on the comparison, a risk mitigation policy can be implemented.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2020Publication date: March 17, 2022Inventors: Shunguo Yan, Su Liu, Andrew J. Lavery

Patent number: 11263208Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for providing cross-lingual search results that retain cultural context include a processor(s) monitoring (with user permission) computing activities performed by the user, via a client. The processor(s) analyzes the computing activities to identify data comprising elements relevant to the user and relationships between the elements and the user. The processor(s) generates a data structure comprising the data. The processor(s) generates a search interface for obtaining entries in a first language to perform a query; the entries are search parameters embedded with a portion of the elements. The processor(s) obtains an entry in the first language. The processor(s) extracts the portion of the elements from the entry (cultural context for the entry). The processor(s) determines target languages for data responsive to the query. The processor(s) translates the search parameters and the cultural context into the target languages and executes searches on databases.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Su Liu, Li Li, Zhichao Li, Ben Gibbs

Patent number: 11229001Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure provide a way to pinpoint where a target device associated with an IP address is physically located within a geographical region. Network-communication delays between landmark devices and the target device are determined and used to generate sequences capturing relative delay relationships between the landmark devices and the target device. The sequences are used to determine a ranking via a sequence-matching approach. For each pair of landmark devices, a geographical boundary that divides the geographical region into a target partition and a second partition is determined. The target partition includes a first landmark device of the pair and the second partition includes a second landmark device of the pair. The target device is located where the target partitions for the pairs overlap. Network tomography can be applied to increase accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2019Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Si Bin Fan, Yu Gu, Su Liu, Cheng Xu

Publication number: 20210358019Abstract: An online store offering a product that is currently unavailable can still fulfill an order for the product by querying a multi-store inventory database to see if the product is available from brick-and-mortar stores near the customer. Proximity of local stores is based on a customer location in the customer's profile. Local store selection can be based on product matching policies such as a threshold price difference for the product compared to the online store price. If the customer approves local store pickup, the service generates a voucher to purchase the product directly from the local stores, and presents it to the customer via the online presence. The customer can then redeem the voucher at any of the indicated local stores and pick up the product. When the system receives confirmation of redemption of the voucher, a credit is issued from the online store to the local store.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2020Publication date: November 18, 2021Inventors: Hamid Majdabadi, Ravithej Chikkala, Zachary A.
