Patent number: 7900147Abstract: A system and method for supporting offline Web browsing. A user interests profile comprising content and attribute preferences of Web pages the user may be interested in is provided. Based on that user's profile, there is generated an interestingness values value for each of candidate Web pages. From a hoard request initiated by a user, received one or more Web pages are selected and downloaded based on their respective interestingness values. These Web pages are stored for later viewing by the user when offline. The candidate Web pages include base Web pages which are supplied by the user in the hoard request, and linked Web pages which are reachable from the base pages. Thus, an interestingness value may be computed as the interestingness of a hyperlink associated with a Web page reachable from a base Web page, the interestingness value of a hyperlink being based upon the similarity of a linked Web page to the base Web page and/or to that user's interests profile.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2002Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hui Lei, Yiming Ye, Philip S.

Patent number: 7782336Abstract: A system and method for wireless communication among embedded devices using visual images. More specifically, a signal receiving device uses a visual recording device to locate the signal display screen of a signal transmitting device by employing an alternating image detection method. An image decoder embedded in the signal receiving device decodes the signal received by the visual recording device. In addition, a method is employed for automatically controlling the position and orientation of the signal display device and the visual recording device. Advantageously, communication among the embedded devices can be effectuated without the emission of potentially harmful radiation.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2007Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Yiming Ye

Patent number: 7756751Abstract: A software architecture can include an artifact layer and a configuration layer. The artifact layer can contain multiple application independent artifacts. A configuration layer can contain at least one application. The application can include multiple states in which the application executes instructions. The states can exist within execution spaces that are distributed across a network. The application uses artifacts of the artifact layer, which can operate in a state dependent manner.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2003Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tsz Simon Cheng, Ying Huang, Santhosh Kumaran, Amaresh Rajasekharan, Mathews Thomas, Frederick Y.

Patent number: 7729933Abstract: Techniques are provided for product life cycle management over an information network. More particularly, techniques are provided for decision support activation and management in accordance with a product life cycle management process such as a collaborative design process. In one aspect of the invention, a technique for managing at least one collaborative process performed in accordance with a first entity and at least a second entity, comprises the following steps/operations. Information associated with the at least one collaborative process is obtained. Based on at least a portion of the obtained information, an information structure (e.g., a context pyramid) representative of the collaborative process is dynamically maintained so as to assist at least one of the first entity and the second entity in managing at least a portion of the collaborative process.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2003Date of Patent: June 1, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yiming Ye, Haiyan Wang, legal representative, Liang-Jie Zhang, John Youssef Sayah, Jen-Yao Chung, Santhosh B.

Patent number: 7028074Abstract: Communication channels among users in a collaborative computing system are automatically adjusted based on users' current states detected by various sensing devices. The collaboration system that includes an awareness system for evaluating, monitoring, and controlling, in real-time, the collaboration environment by having events and occurrences with properties. The awareness monitoring system includes (1) receiving and analyzing real time data from input sensors and (2) an elastic spring energy model for automatically adjusting a distance according to a level of privacy desired by individual users, the requirement of the organization, and a need of the collaborative project to have some shared information about individual user activities. When a spring energy model is difficult to obtain, a matrix looks up model is used to automatically adjust a distance according to a level of privacy desired by individual users, the requirement of the organization, and the need of the collaborative project.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2001Date of Patent: April 11, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yiming Ye, Stephen J.

Patent number: 6981019Abstract: An agent mediated Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) system creates a sense of group work and at the same time keeps the privacy and maintains the security of each user. A multi-agent negotiation process is used in the system to reduce fractions among group members during the geographically distributed team work. A markup language, such as XML (eXtended Markup Language), is used in the system to encode communication messages. Event perception is an important task in agent mediated CSCW system which uses an eigen space to perform the event perception task. For the case where the number of devices is large, an eigen pyramid is constructed which can be used to discriminate different events.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2000Date of Patent: December 27, 2005Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Stephen J.
