US Patent:

7904737, Mar 8, 2011

Filed:

Mar 15, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/049283

Inventors:

Steven Duane Clay - Pflugerville TX, US
Yvonne Patrice Stoetzel - Round Rock TX, US
Shunguo Yan - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 1/00
G06F 15/16

US Classification:

713300, 709208

Abstract:

An approach is provided that handles a power down signal received by a device. Other types of signals, such as suspend or save and sleep, may also be handled. A device, such as a parent device, sends a power down signal to another device, such as a child device. The power down signal is received by the child device and acted upon, based on the activities currently being executed by the child device. Each activity currently being executed by the child device is handled according to its corresponding setting in an activity list. For example, if the child device is currently executing a preferred activity, the power down signal is ignored. A user of the child device may also send an explanation (or explanations) to the parent device.

Appl. No.:

11/460770

Inventors:

Scott J. Broussard - Cedar Park TX, US
Steven D. Clay - Pflugerville TX, US
Eduardo N. Spring - Round Rock TX, US

Assignee:

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345168

Abstract:

A system for processing and displaying command-line input data is described. The system includes a keyboard buffer configured to store a pending command entered in a command line interface such that the entered pending command may be executed shortly thereafter. The system also includes a display that houses a screen. The display is configured to display the entered pending command in the command-line interface on the screen, such that a user may review, validate and edit the entered pending command prior to execution. The system also includes a central processing unit. The central processing unit houses the processor. The keyboard buffer, the command-line interface and the display are operably associated with the processor. The processor is configured to interpret and execute the pending command stored in the keyboard buffer.

Appl. No.:

13/746213

Inventors:

Steven Duane Clay - Round Rock TX, US
Eduardo N. Spring - Round Rock TX, US
Shunguo Yan - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 21/62

US Classification:

726 26

Abstract:

An approach is provided to provide privacy control in a social network. In the approach, a first post is posted from a first user to a second user in the social network with the first post including private data belonging to the first user. Subsequent postings are monitored for the first user's private data. When the monitoring detects a second post of the first user's private data with the second post being from the second user to a third user in the social network, privacy controls are performed. The privacy controls mask the first user's private data from the third user so that the first user's private data inaccessible (not visible) to the third user.

Abstract:

Provided is a method, computer program product, and system for leveraging spatial scanning data of an environment collected by a robotic vacuum to generate recommendations for improving environmental conditions. A robotic vacuum may collect cleanliness data relative to an environment. The robotic vacuum may store the cleanliness data over a plurality of cleaning cycles. The robotic vacuum may analyze the cleanliness data over the plurality of cleaning cycles to identify one or more cleanliness trends. The robotic vacuum may generate a recommendation for improving an environmental condition relative to the environment based on the identified one or more cleanliness trends. The robotic vacuum may provide the recommendation to a user.
