Patent number: 9456229Abstract: An approach is provided in which a content manager receives a publication request to publish content data on a particular distribution channel. The content manager identifies one or more channel format parameters corresponding to the selected distribution channel and dynamically formats the content data according to the identified channel format parameters, which results in formatted content data. In turn, the content manager publishes the dynamically formatted content data on the selected distribution channel.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2012Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kelley Lynne Anders, Trudy Leigh Hewitt

Patent number: 9179246Abstract: A computer implemented method, data processing system or computer program product for activating mobile device activity is disclosed. A mobile device may receive an action association to a stance, wherein the stance comprises a sector of the mobile device relative to a base, wherein a user specifies an action associated to the stance. The mobile device can receive a signal that the mobile device is present in the sector. Further, the mobile device, responsive to receiving the signal, may perform the action.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2013Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Trudy Leigh Hewitt, Francesco Carmine Schembari, Christina Lynn Wetli

Patent number: 9058409Abstract: A method for contextual data visualization includes receiving data selected by a user and meta-data associated with the data. The data is analyzed, using a processor of a computing device, to determine content and structure attributes of the data that are relevant to visualization of the data. The meta-data is analyzed, using a processor of the computing device, to determine a context in which the visualization of the data will be used. A database comprising an aggregation of visualization records from a plurality of users is accessed and at least one template from the data visualization records that matches the data attributes and context is selected. A data visualization is created by applying at least one template to the data.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2011Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Al Chakra, John Feller, Trudy Leigh Hewitt, Kerry Arella Moffo, Francesco Carmine Schembari

Publication number: 20140207534Abstract: Required certifications and education for each member of a group are automatically scanned. Current certifications and educational requirements are compared against the current job function, skills, and location for each member of the group, such as for each employee of a department of a company. These statuses and requirements are assigned into a management and employee portal or dashboard based according to pre-defined requirements. The portal or dashboard is also populated to provide specific requirements for unmet or under-met requirements, and tracking of the progress of certifications is enabled for both managers and employees to be proactive in taking action on certifications and education.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2013Publication date: July 24, 2014Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Al Chakra, John A.
