US Classification:

705 9

Abstract:

A computer-implement method and the associated system of computing resources provides an automated work force management capability that optimizes work assignments for individual workers using work force management techniques in combination with social networking analysis (SNA). The work force management attributes are enhanced using SNA. Bipartite graphing processes are used to match the socially enhance worker attributes with the work requirements. By combining the social networking information with the work force management attributes, work assignments are optimized. This optimization exploits historical social interactions between workers and combines their influence with the skills and other work force attributes of each worker required for job performance.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709206

Abstract:

A method includes receiving a message from a user device, determining whether the message includes a tag, identifying at least one interaction the user device performed with an application responsive to determining that the message includes the tag, calculating a difference between a time the message was received and a time associated with the at least one identified interaction, determining whether the difference between the time the message was received and the time associated with the at least one identified interaction is within a threshold value, and associating the tag with the application associated with the at least one interaction responsive to determining that the difference between the time the message was received and the time associated with the at least one identified interaction is within the threshold value.

International Classification:

A63F 300

US Classification:

273261

Abstract:

A neutral or a demilitarized zone (DMZ) is provided for a matrix-type "detente" piece-capture board game in which only one piece at a time can occupy a given square or point, with the neutral zone providing a safe haven for all elements utilized in playing the game. The neutral zone can take the form of an offset cruciform arrangement of spaces or a square outline of spaces. The neutral zone can be differentiated from the other spaces on the board by color differentiating the spaces within and outside the zone. Alternatively, the neutral zone can be differentiated by a line that circumscribes the zone.
