Patent number: 11217106Abstract: One embodiment provides a method comprising receiving a flight plan request for a drone. The flight plan request comprises a drone identity, departure information, and arrival information. The method further comprises constructing a modified flight plan for the drone based on the flight plan request, wherein the modified flight plan represents an approved, congestion reducing, and executable flight plan for the drone, and the modified flight plan comprises a sequence of four-dimensional (4D) cells representing a planned flight path for the drone. For each 4D cell of the modified flight plan, the method further comprises attempting to place an exclusive lock on behalf of the drone on the 4D cell, and in response to a failure to place the exclusive lock on behalf of the drone on the 4D cell, rerouting the modified flight plan around the 4D cell to a random neighboring 4D cell.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Eric K. Butler, Anca A. Chandra, Pawan R. Chowdhary, Susanne M. Glissmann-Hochstein, Thomas D. Griffin, Divyesh Jadav, Sunhwan Lee, Hovey R. Strong, Jr.

Patent number: 11194862Abstract: One embodiment provides a method that includes generating, by a processor, a topic graph by converting information to topic nodes and edges in the topic graph. Bridges from a given topic node are provided to a neighbor node based on a weight assignment. The bridges are converted to an electronic form of communication. The processor orders suggested paths based on a determined distance from at least one other topic node to a topic goal node via an earliest topic node on each suggested path. The determined distance is found by a first search of the topic graph.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2019Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jeanette L. Blomberg, Eric K. Butler, Anca A. Chandra, Pawan R. Chowdhary, Susanne M. Glissmann-Hochstein, Thomas D. Griffin, Sunhwan Lee, Robert J. Moore, Hovey R. Strong, Jr.

Patent number: 11188878Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method comprising maintaining historical meeting information, receiving an event data stream corresponding to a meeting, and delaying confirmation of an assignment of a meeting room for the meeting for a period of delay defined by a confirmation condition to predict a number of in-person attendees at the meeting based on the event data stream and the historical meeting information. The meeting room is tentatively assigned to the meeting based on the predicted number of in-person attendees. The method further comprises sending confirmation of the assignment of the meeting room for the meeting to at least one invitee only after the period of delay has elapsed.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2015Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jeanette L. Blomberg, Anca A. Chandra, Pawan R. Chowdhary, Susanne M. Glissmann-Hochstein, Sunhwan Lee, Hovey Raymond Strong, Jr.

Patent number: 10489456Abstract: One embodiment provides a method that includes obtaining information including profile information and current event information. A processor generates a topic graph by converting the information to topic nodes in the topic graph. The processor determines a weight assignment for each topic node based on ratios of sums of weights of edges from topic nodes. Bridges are provided from a given topic node to a neighbor based on the weight assignment.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2016Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jeanette L. Blomberg, Eric K. Butler, Anca A. Chandra, Pawan R. Chowdhary, Susanne M. Glissmann-Hochstein, Thomas D. Griffin, Sunhwan Lee, Robert J. Moore, Hovey R. Strong, Jr.

Publication number: 20180025341Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a system, computer program product, and method for generating a recommendation for using a payment instrument or combination of payment instruments to tender payment. Payment instrument data is stored in a database. Upon receiving a request for a payment recommendation, payment instrument data is retrieved from the database and a payment instrument score is assessed across two or more payment instruments. The assessment comprises the application of a function to a payment instrument, the function taking into account payment instrument variables, category, and location. A recommendation of an apportionment of the payment is generated, including an allocation of an associated cost and the recommended payment is transmitted to a network server.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2016Publication date: January 25, 2018Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Anca A.
