  • Patent number: 11650720
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for dynamically adjusting zoom settings in a multiple user environment. A server determines whether the multiple user environment is an environment of co-located users or an environment of distributed users. In response to determining the environment of the co-located users, the server determines an aggregated preference, determines an optimal zoom setting for a singular display based on the aggregated preference, and adjusts the singular display based on the optimal zoom setting for the singular display. In response to determining the environment of the distributed users, the server determines optimal zoom settings for respective ones of the multiple displays, based on preferences of respective ones of the distributed users, and the server adjusts the respective ones of the multiple displays, based on the optimal zoom settings for the respective ones of the multiple displays.

  • Patent number: 11388048
    Abstract: Visibility of relevance of detailed configurations is improved while deterioration of the visibility of a general configuration between nodes is suppressed. A node coordinate calculation process calculates, upon calculation of deployment coordinates of each node, a degree of importance of an infrastructure resource and a degree of importance of an application, and weights the distance between the application node and the infrastructure node with the reciprocal of the degree of importance of the infrastructure node. Then, the node coordinate calculation process determines deployment of the application node such that the application node is deployed in the proximity of a comparatively important infrastructure node, and determines deployment of the application node on the basis of the degrees of importance of the applications such that a comparatively important application is deployed closely to the infrastructure node.

  • Patent number: 11164395
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to structure switching in a 3D environment. In examples, an authoring application is used to select characteristics for the 3D environment and to insert content. For example, a structure is selected in which to present the content in the 3D environment. An asset container comprises assets associated with the selected structure, which are included in the 3D environment. In some examples, a common asset container comprises other assets that are included in the 3D environment. End users are able to view the 3D environment using a viewer application. If the author decides to change the selected structure, an asset container associated with the new structure is identified. Assets for the old structure are removed from the 3D environment and assets for the new structure are included instead. Thus, a set of asset containers is used generate the 3D environment and change characteristics therein.

  • Patent number: 11120005
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for providing provenance tracking in a workflow system. The computer-implemented process provides for one or more processors to receive a workflow definition input. One or more processors perform workflow job commands, in response to receiving a workflow definition, and a workflow instance request. One or more processors access an input file associated with the workflow instance. One or more processors generate, at run-time, provenance metadata. One or more processors generate, at run-time, a global file identification (ID) associated with an output file. One or more processors link the global file ID and the provenance metadata to the output file of the workflow instance, and one or more processors store the output file, which includes the global file ID and the provenance metadata, both linked to the output file.

  • Patent number: 11115409
    Abstract: A method authenticates a user in order to activate an access mechanism for a device. One or more processors detect a real-time initial emotional state of the user, where the real-time initial emotional state of the user dynamically changes over time. The processor(s) present content as a stimulus to the user, and predict a predicted post-stimulus emotional state of the user, where the predicted post-stimulus emotional state of the user is predicted to be caused by the content being presented to the user, and where the predicted post-stimulus emotional state is dependent upon the real-time initial emotional state of the user. The processor(s) detect a real-time post-stimulus emotional state of the user. The processor(s) match the predicted post-stimulus emotional state of the user to the real-time post-stimulus emotional state of the user, and then authenticate the user and activate an access mechanism for a device.

  • Patent number: 11100097
    Abstract: A method executes at a computing device that includes a display, one or more processors, and memory. The device displays a user interface that includes a data pane and a calculation pane. The data pane comprises data rows and data columns. Each of the data columns corresponds to a data field from a data source. The device receives a first user input to specify a grouping on a first data field. The device receives a second user input to specify an aggregation function on a second data field. In response to the first and second user inputs, for each distinct value of the first data field, the device aggregates corresponding values of the second data field according to the aggregation function. A plurality of first data rows are displayed in the calculation pane. The device saves the rows of data displayed in the calculation pane as a new data source.

  • Patent number: 11062222
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for performing cross-user dashboard behavior analysis and dashboard recommendation generation. Dashboard interfaces are presented to a user and the user inputs are tracked. Cognitive analysis of the user dashboard behavior pattern data is performed to determine a reason for user dashboard behavior represented by the user dashboard behavior pattern data. Cross-user correlation analysis operations are performed based on the user dashboard behavior pattern data and dashboard behavior pattern data of other users of a different user type to identify an intersection point. A recommendation output is generated and output that recommends at least one of a particular dashboard interface to access or a modification to the one or more dashboard interfaces to be performed. The recommendation is based on the identification of the intersection point and the determined reason for the user dashboard behavior.
