Abstract:

A computer implemented method and apparatus for controlling the presentation of information. In response to receiving a request to present the information, a process confirms that conditions for presentation of the information are satisfied using a set of presentation policies, wherein the conditions are specified in the set of presentation policies, and wherein the conditions comprise a status of a user and a setting of the user. The process then determines whether confidential content is present in the information. Responsive to the confidential content being present, the process redacts the confidential content before presenting the information to a user, and then updates a presentation history with metadata describing the presentation of the information comprising the confidential content.

International Classification:

G06F 9/46

US Classification:

705 712

Abstract:

An approach is provided in which a maintenance optimizer receives a policy change threshold that corresponds to a system. The maintenance optimizer monitors real-time condition data associated with the system, and determines whether the real-time condition data has reached the policy change threshold. If the real-time condition data has not reached the policy change threshold, the maintenance optimizer generates a maintenance operation notification based upon the real-time condition data according to a maintenance schedule policy. However, if the real-time condition data has reached the policy change threshold, the maintenance optimizer generates an alternate maintenance operation notification based upon the real-time condition data according to an alternate maintenance schedule policy.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 721, 705 713, 705 718, 705 719, 718103

Abstract:

A computer implemented method for integrating a calendar and task scheduler to enable automatic scheduling of meetings and assignment of tasks based on priority. With the illustrative embodiments, a task in a user's calendaring system may be split into multiple time blocks, and each time block for the task may then be scheduled around meetings in a user's calendar. Tasks that are scheduled in the user's calendar may also be automatically rescheduled when meetings within the user's calendar change. Tasks may be scheduled over lower priority meetings in the user's calendar as needed in order to meet the due dates assigned to the tasks. The illustrative embodiments also allow for automatically adjusting meeting or task priorities based on policies, and identifying classes of activities that may be performed concurrently.

International Classification:

G06F 9/46

US Classification:

718100

Abstract:

A “follow-me” utility runs on each of a plurality devices a person may typically use. This utility monitors applications running on a device and intelligently saves the state of tasks a user is performing. When the follow-me utility detects that the user has initialized another device having the follow-me utility and connectivity to the original device, the utility automatically and transparently creates an environment on the new device so that the user may continue the task at the same point as when he or she last performed the task on the original device. When the user continues a task or starts a new task, the follow-me utility automatically and transparently updates files and task states on any devices having the follow-me utility and connectivity. The follow-me utility may make intelligent task migration decisions based on conditions such as network bandwidth, security policy, location, and device capability.
