Patent number: 10803409Abstract: A system and method of managing and prioritizing tasks amongst resources and, more particularly, to a system and method for providing automatic task assignment and notification amongst globally dispersed human resources. The system includes a change of management application configured to store a list of tasks and a task notifier configured to retrieve a list of geographically-dispersed resources and notify selected ones of the geographically-dispersed resources of a priority of completion of one or more tasks retrieved from the change of management application. The system further includes a message application configured to be polled by the task notifier to determine which of the geographically dispersed resources is online or currently working.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventor: William P.

Patent number: 10719998Abstract: A vehicle accident reporting system and method identifies, using a sudden event detection processor operatively coupled to non-transient storage and an accelerometer in a vehicle, a sudden event when a measured acceleration of the vehicle sensed by the accelerometer exceeds either a predefined maximum acceleration or a predefined maximum deceleration indicative of an accident. A notification is transmitted, using the sudden event detection processor, over a network to an accident management hub that a sudden event has occurred. A prompt is transmitted over the network to a mobile device associated with an owner or operator of the vehicle, the prompt requesting that the owner or operator photograph a license plate of any other vehicle involved in the accident and record video of the accident scene. The requested image of the license plate and video of the accident scene is receiving from the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2017Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Saeideh Joodaki, William P.

Patent number: 10664609Abstract: A method and system. It is ascertained that a database stores the company profile record including the target attribute and a validity attribute associated with the target attribute. The validity attribute has a VALID or INVALID value respectively indicating that the target attribute in the company profile record has a valid or invalid value within the database. It is insured that the database stores a first and second user profile record, that a first user of a requisition transaction corresponds to the first user profile record, that the first user profile record includes the target attribute having a value identical to a value of the target attribute of a first company profile record associated with a first company represented by the first user, and that the validity attribute of the first company profile record has the VALID value. A requisition object record corresponding to the requisition transaction is verified.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2017Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Macam S.
