Patent number: 11444905Abstract: A tool for predicting communication patterns and availability on one or more computer devices. The tool allocates an incoming mail identification to the incoming mail. The tool determines a location of origin for the incoming mail based, at least in part, on domain information and information from an address book. The tool determines one or more holidays, a day of a week, and a time of day utilizing a sending timestamp from the location of origin. The tool determines a sending tendency for the sender identification. The tool determines a response prediction rate for a per-determined timeframe based, at least in part, on the one or more holidays, the day of the week, the time of day and the sending tendency for the sender identification. The tool displays the response prediction rate and the sending tendency in one or more pop-up dialog windows.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2021Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tomoko Murayama, Takuya Ishikawa, Yuji Sugiyama

Patent number: 10678404Abstract: A first user input event initiating a transition of a GUI from a first state to a second state is generated in response to detecting a first user input received by the GUI. A first spatial location in the GUI selected by the first user input can be identified. A second user input event is generated in response to detecting a second user input received by the GUI while the GUI is in the second state. A second spatial location in the GUI selected by the second user input can be identified. A level of discontinuity between the first user input and the second user input can be determined. If the level of discontinuity does not exceed a threshold value, at least one user input event handling process can be selected to process the second user input event based on the level of discontinuity not exceeding the discontinuity threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2017Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshio Horiuchi, Tsend Ochir Bat Ulzii, Tomoko Murayama, Masaki Saitoh, Masayuki Yamana

Patent number: 10606621Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for assisting users to execute content in a user's computing environment. A user copying and pasting content from a first electronic document is detected, where the content is set as a first character string. Furthermore, the modification of the copied content is detected, where the modification includes modification of parameters of the user's computing environment to implement execution of the copied content and the modified copied content is set as a second character string. The first and second character strings as well as the modification points are registered in a repository. The modification points include the modified parameters of the first user's computing environment. By matching the character string copied by a second user from a second electronic document with one of the registered character strings, the second user may be presented with the modification points associated with the matching character string.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2018Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yoshio Horiuchi, Tsend Ochir Bat Ulzii, Masaki Saitoh, Tomoko Murayama, Masayuki Yamana
