International Classification:

G06F 15/16
G06F 13/00

US Classification:

709203, 709219

Abstract:

A content management system is provided including a server computer and a client computer. The server includes a data repository and a stored procedure. The disclosed methodology provides a way of handling parameter passing of structured data for stored procedures in the system. The system is capable of both encoding data into a structured data format and decoding data from the structured data format. The structured data format employs a binary large object (BLOB) and character large object (CLOB) to achieve handling of fixed length binary data and variable length character data. Advantageously, the stored procedure interface need not be rewritten and customized for each stored procedure in the server.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707103R, 7071041, 707 10, 707204

Abstract:

Disclosed is a system and method for coordinating the backup of multiple databases and file systems in a Content Manager system. This is accomplished by “pausing” the library server to enable the desired coordinated backup of all servers, that is, the Library Servers and the Resource Servers. The coordinated backup is accomplished by both “pausing” and coordinated backup, and without interrupting a transaction which is in progress. This is accomplished by a consideration of the full CM transaction rather then just the individual elemental library server and resource manager transactions. The effect is to allow existing operations to complete, and involves “pausing” the library server to enable coordinated backup of all servers without interrupting a content management transaction which is in progress, if they complete within an interval specified by the administrator.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 1, 705319, 715741, 715743

Abstract:

Methods for managing privacy settings for a social network using an electronic computing device are presented including: causing the electronic computing device to receive a triggering event on the social network; and causing the electronic computing device to determine a number of privacy indices in response to the triggering event, where the number of privacy indices correspond with at least one target user, where the number of privacy indices are normalized from a summation of a number of privacy scores, where the number of privacy scores are each derived from a sum of attribute scores, and where the sum of attribute scores are each derived from a weighted sensitivity value of an attribute and a user relationship distance value of a user and the target user.

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707758

Abstract:

The present invention provides a way to efficiently validate and process requests, such as deletion requests, that affect items having associated objects in a content management system. When the request is received, a timestamp for the item is retrieved. A timestamp for any objects affected by the request are then retrieved and checked against the timestamp for the item. The request is then completed on the item and objects based on the respective timestamps for the item and the objects.

US Classification:

707783, 707E17059

Abstract:

Methods for providing a privacy setting for a target user in a social network utilizing an electronic computing device are presented, the method including: causing the electronic computing device to retrieve a current privacy setting for a common profile item, where the common profile item corresponds with the target user and each of a number of users, and where the common profile item is one of a number of common profile items; causing the electronic computing device to calculate a common profile item sensitivity value for the common profile item based on the current privacy setting; causing the electronic computing device to calculate a common profile item visibility value for the common profile item based on the a current privacy setting and the sensitivity value for the common profile item; and causing the electronic computing device to calculate the privacy score of the target user.

International Classification:

G06Q 20/10
G06F 9/54
G06F 9/451

Abstract:

Systems and methods associated with providing an automated portal to migrate one or more relationships with one entity to another entity are disclosed. In one embodiment, an exemplary method may comprise: providing a portal enabling automated migration of existing relationships from existing entities to a first entity; generating a first UI configured for identifying and providing access information regarding existing relationships for potential migration; generating a second UI to display information regarding the existing relationships and provide UI elements enabling the user to receive migration offers; determining terms of replacement relationships that the first entity can offer the user; generating a third UI to (i) compare terms between the existing and new relationships, and (ii) enable the user to authorize the relationship migration; performing an automated generation process to create the new relationship(s); and performing an automated transfer process to transfer all objects to the new relationship.

Abstract:

Methods for providing a privacy setting for a target user relative to relationships with a number of other users in a social network utilizing an electronic computing device are presented, the method including: causing the electronic computing device to retrieve a current privacy setting for a common profile item, where the common profile item corresponds with the target user and each of the number of other users, and where the common profile item is one of a number of common profile items; causing the electronic computing device to calculate a pseudo-common profile item sensitivity value for the common profile item based on the current privacy settings of the target user and the number of other users; causing the electronic computing device to calculate a final common profile item sensitivity value for the common profile item based on the current privacy setting.
