Publication number: 20150156236Abstract: An approach that delays presentation of social media communications corresponding to an event is provided. In the approach, social media communications received during an initial presentation of the event are stored. A time delay associated with each of the social media communications is recorded with the time delay being from the start time of the initial presentation of the event. During subsequent playback of the event, the approach retrieves the stored social media communications and presents the retrieved social media communications based upon the time delay associated with each of the communications from the start time of the subsequent event playback.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2013Publication date: June 4, 2015Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kimberly D. McCall, Henri F. Meli, Michael S. Thomason, Yingxin Xing

Patent number: 8589493Abstract: Managing the sending of electronic mail (email) messages and responding to requests from indirect recipients for related information. An email message is originated with a first recipient and a recipient request prompt, which comprises a unique recipient request identifier (ID) linking it to the originator's email address. An empty recipient request list is generated, likewise linked to the recipient request ID. The message is then sent to a first recipient, who in turn forwards it to a second recipient. The recipient response prompt is displayed to the second recipient, who uses it to generate a recipient request for related information. The recipient request ID of the originated message and the second recipient's email address are appended to the recipient request, which is then sent to the message originator. The recipient request is received by the email system and parsed. The second recipient's email address is then appended to the recipient request list corresponding to the parsed recipient request ID.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2007Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Meli Henri Fouotsop, Angela Richards Jones, Andrew Lewis Schirmer, Yingxin Xing, Tong Yu

Patent number: 8341004Abstract: The present invention can include a solution that dynamically manages electronic calendar events based upon the key performance indicators (KPIs) of a business process monitoring (BPM) system. Such a system can include a BPM system, an electronic calendar software application, and a dynamic calendar event manager. The BPM system can be configured to manage data for many user-defined KPIs. The electronic calendar software application can be configured to manage the calendar data of various calendar events for many users. The dynamic calendar event definition can be configured to define a condition for modifying the calendar data of a user-specified calendar event. The dynamic calendar event definition can consist of a KPI threshold value, a calendar action, and an applicable attendee list. The dynamic calendar event manager can be configured to dynamically and automatically handle the modification of the calendar data in accordance with the dynamic calendar event definition.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2008Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Caroline Cross Daughtrey, Scott D. Johnson, Christopher M. Ketchuck, Stephanie L. Walter, Eric D. Wayne, Yingxin Xing

Publication number: 20120166351Abstract: A method for assisting customer knowledge using social media data. Responses to text-based posts regarding compatibility of an updated product with respect to other products/components in a complex product environment are aggregated and used to create what is referred to herein as a “dynamic account.” The dynamic account contains information regarding the compatibility of an updated product from a particular vendor/company with other products from other vendors/companies, where these products are used in combination in a complex product environment. This knowledge base may be used by users of a social network system who are customers of these companies to keep them informed regarding compatibility issues when an update to a product occurs.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2012Publication date: June 28, 2012Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Marcus L.

Patent number: 8015485Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for managing the spatial coordinates and visual attributes of objects within a user interface (UI). A Web UI ruler is executed within a UI comprising a plurality of objects. A first object and second object are selected. The Web UI Ruler then collects the spatial coordinate and visual attribute values for the first and second object and their relationship values are determined. The spatial coordinate and visual attribute values for the first and second objects, along with their corresponding relationship values, are modified and the modifications are applied to the target objects. The values are then stored in the Web UI ruler. These values can then be subsequently applied to one or more target objects. Alternatively, the stored values are exported as a cascading style sheet (CSS) class, which can then likewise be subsequently applied to one or more target objects.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2007Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yingxin Xing, Angela Richards Jones, Henri Fouotsop Meli, Stephanie Lee Walter, Tong Yu
