  • Patent number: 11227094
    Abstract: A result format modifying method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium, include extracting, from a database including a plurality of display format types of a search result of a search conducted by a user, the plurality of display format types of the search result conducted by the user, and deciding a display format of the plurality of display format types to output to the user based on a time interval between a current time and the start time of the user's next activity as determined by the determining, where the display format of the search result to the user corresponds to a delivery that is digestible by the user within a specific length of a time interval out of a first time interval and a second time interval, the first time interval being longer than the second time interval.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11157528
    Abstract: Aspects include querying, by a processing system, a workflow database for a desired target entity. The processing system traverses a dependency graph that defines one or more entity and action sequences of a workflow that result in creating the desired target entity based at least in part on failing to locate the desired target entity in the workflow database. The workflow can be a bioinformatics workflow to analyze one or more digital representations of biological data. The processing system queries the workflow database to determine an entity existence status of each entity in the one or more entity and action sequences. The processing system schedules execution of an associated action that outputs each entity identified as non-existent based at least in part on the entity existence status and the one or more entity and action sequences to create the desired target entity.

  • Patent number: 10387538
    Abstract: A result format modifying method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium, include an extracting circuit configured to extract a plurality of format types of a search result conducted by a user, a determining circuit configured to determine user activity based on user data, and a deciding circuit configured to decide a format of the plurality of format types to deliver to the user based on a time interval between a current time and a start time of the user's next activity as determined by the determining circuit.
