Title: Reconciliation processing system, method, and program
Inventor: VIVIAN LEE
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2015-03-30
Abstract: Disclosed is a reconciliation processing system for reconciling different name values used to refer to the same entity across a set of data sources. The data sources including structured data sources having labelled data values each describing a property of one of the entities, the entity being identifiable by a key value, and the property being identifiable by the label of the data value. The system has a data source categoriser allocates each of the data sources into a first category in which for each key value there is only one name value or a second category in which the data source has key values each having more than one different name value. The system also has a first reconciliation processor that, when there is more than one data source in the first category, uses one of the data sources as an index data source, for each name value finds any name values from the remaining data sources that satisfy a similarity criterion and stores the found name values and the name value from the index data source as aliases for one another in a first results list. A second reconciliation processor for each data source in the second category, for each key value in the data source, identifies any labelled data values which are name values attributing a name to the entity identified by the key value, and if more than one different name value is identified, to store the different name values as aliases for one another in a second results list. Finally there is a results list combiner, that generates a combined results list by appending the second results list to the first results list and, for each name value appearing in the first results list, if an identical name value appears in the second results list, storing the aliases for the name value from the first results list and the aliases for the identical name value from the second results list as aliases for one another in the combined results list.

Title: Displaying graphical user interface elements on a touch screen
Inventor: JUSTIN JUN
IPC: G06F3/0488
Filed: 2015-08-28
Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer programs for displaying Graphical User Interface (GUI) elements on touch screen devices are disclosed. A region 120 of the touch screen 110 that is preferred by a current user of the device 100 is identified, and the GUI element, which may be an event notification, is displayed in the identified preferred region of the touch screen. This ensures that the user can easily reach and select the GUI element. In some embodiments, when the area required to display a plurality of GUI elements exceeds the size of the preferred region, a group object can be displayed in the preferred region without displaying the individual GUI elements. The individual GUI elements can then be displayed in response to selection of the group object. The preferred area of the screen can be identified by analysing past user interactions, possibly using a machine learning algorithm.
