    Abstract: Identifying new machine learning models with improved metrics is provided. A new machine learning model is searched for that is relevant to a current machine learning model running within a client device and has improved metrics over current metrics of the current machine learning model. It is determined whether a relevant new machine learning model having improved metrics over the current metrics of the current machine learning model was found in the search. In response to determining that a relevant new machine learning model having improved metrics was found in the search, it is determined whether the relevant new machine learning model is compatible with the current machine learning model. In response to determining that the relevant new machine learning model is compatible with the current machine learning model, the relevant new machine learning model is automatically implemented in the client device.

  • Patent number: 11418609
    Abstract: A computer is used to identify objects related to an event using networked computer system resources. A request is received to assess objects within a vicinity of an event for uses related to the event. A type of event is determined and objects identified within the vicinity. The identified objects are assessed for applicability relating to the event. The identified objects are scored based on applicability of each of the identified objects to the event. The identified objects are ranked based on the score for each of the identified objects, and based on accessibility factors for each of the identified objects, and the accessibility factors include locations of the identified objects, respectively, within the vicinity. A notification is sent to a user's device with the ranking for viewing by a user on a display of the user's device.

  • Patent number: 11375023
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for dynamically adjusting a timeout parameter associated with a connection between a client device and a server. Information is associated with at least one of a characteristic of a content to be rendered by a server, a characteristic of traffic of a connection to the server, and a characteristic of a user of the server is received from the client device and transmitted to the server. Based on the transmitted information, an amount of time in a previously stored timeout parameter associated with a client device is adjusted automatically with a new timeout parameter to enable communication between the client device and the server. The new timeout parameter is stored in place of the previously stored timeout parameter. Responsive to the amount of time to wait for a response from the client device satisfying the new timeout parameter, the communication between the client device and the server is terminated.

  • Patent number: 11317424
    Abstract: A system for prioritizing network resource dispatch may include receiving a request for a network resource from a mobile device associated with a user, the request comprising mobile device and user characteristics, and location information. A request priority may be determined based on some combination of a mobile device score and user score. The request priority is assigned to the request. A highest ranked mobile device request priority is determined, and the network resource is dispatched to a location corresponding to the highest ranked request priority. A heatmap may be generated to illustrate a geographical representation of each mobile device data usage rate at each mobile device respective location. The request priorities may change based on any combination of the mobile device characteristics, user characteristics, location information and the usage characteristics. Therefore, the priority of dispatching the network resource may be determined dynamically and updated as the inputs change.

  • Patent number: 11316684
    Abstract: An enterprise key management server operates in association with a location service that maintains information defining at least one physical boundary of the enterprise. Upon receipt at the key management server of a request that requires release of key material, an additional security check is performed. When the request is received from a GPS-enabled storage device, the key management server queries the location service to determine whether that device is within the boundary. If so, the key material is released. If the requesting device does not provide its location, or if the location service determines that the device is not within the boundary, the key management server fails the request so that the key material is not released. In this manner, the disclosure of the key material to a device that is no longer within the confines of the enterprise, e.g., because it has been stolen, is averted.
