A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product generate a query response in an environment based on predicted relationships between users. The method includes capturing a question with a device in the environment, where the question includes a speaking voice and is selected from a group consisting of: video data, audio data and text data. The method also includes identifying the speaker of the question based on the speaking voice. The method further includes determining a relationship between the question and each user interaction in a database of user interactions, where each user interaction is associated with a user. In addition, the method includes selecting a response from the database of user interactions based on the relationship. Lastly, the method includes transmitting the response to the speaker of the question in the environment, where the transmission of the response uses a voice of the user.

Relationship-driven virtual assistant

A method, a computer system, and a computer program product for vehicle height sensing are provided. A 5G NR transceiver of a computer receives a first 5G NR signal indicative of a vehicle approaching the 5G NR transceiver. The computer is fixed to a stationary object. In response to receiving the first 5G NR signal, the computer generates and transmits a second 5G NR signal. The 5G NR transceiver receives a third 5G NR signal in response to the transmitting of the second 5G NR signal. The computer determines a height of the vehicle by performing triangulation using the received third 5G NR signal. In response to the height exceeding a clearance distance of a stationary roadway structure associated with the computer, the computer generates and transmits a first response signal for altering a travel path of the vehicle.

Determining vehicle height using 5G NR signals

A computer-implemented method for recommending viewing of an image includes obtaining, using a processor system, a visual image of an object relating to a particular subject matter. The method also includes determining the location of the object. A plurality of friend records is provided wherein the friend records identify interest in respective subject matter and the general location of the friend. A friend interested in the subject matter of the object is identified and their respective location. If the object is potentially viewable to the interested friend, a notification of the object is sent to the individual.

Recommend viewing of an object to friends within a social network

At a device of a sender, a screen capture image is captured from a first portion of data presented on the device by a data source. Historical messaging data is analyzed to compute a set of topics in which the sender has participated. Using a topic from the set of topics as a context, a second portion of the data presented on the device by the data source is searched to extract an additional information from the second portion, the additional information corresponding to the context. the additional information is associated with the screen capture image. The screen capture image and the additional information are caused to be transmitted in a messaging channel.

Screen capture data amalgamation

A method for controlling a device may include obtaining a conflict-resolution setting from a plurality of available conflict settings. The conflict resolution settings may establish one or more rules for resolving conflicting commands received by the device from a first user and a second user. The method may further include determining, based at least in part on the conflict-resolution setting, a response to a second command issued by the second user that conflicts with a first command issued by the first user. The method may further include performing the response.

Resolving conflicting commands received by an electronic device

A method and associated system. Before allowing a user to use a secured resource, a first security check may be performed with respect to the user and/or the secured resource to determine whether a first security condition is satisfied. In response to a first security condition being satisfied, allowing the user to use the secured resource. In response to failing to satisfy the at least one first security condition, performing a second security check on the user with a second security condition. In response to passing a second security condition, allowing the user to use the secured resource. The first security condition may include a dynamic evaluation of at least one available data point to calculate a projected security risk of the user using the secured resource and the level of complexity of the second security condition may be set based on the calculated projected security risk.

Dynamic change in plurality of security layers based on project risk

Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, program products, and systems to filter content returned by a search tool by associating an indication that content fulfills a first request, with the first request, the content that fulfills a first request for information, and other metadata associated with the indication. Embodiments can then add to a database the respectively associated first request for information, the content, and the other metadata and in response to receiving a second request that is related to the first request, identify the added content and additional content that fulfills the second request and compile a list of the added content and the additional content and manipulate the order of the compiled list based, at least in part, on metadata associated with the added content, the additional content identified from the database, and metadata stored in a customizable user profile.

Search tool enhancement using dynamic tagging

Dynamic change in plurality of security layers based on projected risk

A method, system, and/or computer program product control transmission of assistance requests between electronic devices. One or more processors detect an emergency condition being experienced in real-time by a distressed person. The processor(s) identify at least one assistance candidate that is within a predetermined proximity of the distressed person, and determine a skill level of the at least one assistance candidate for treating the emergency condition. The processor(s) tailor an assistance request on behalf of the distressed person based on the skill level of the at least one assistance candidate, and transmit the assistance request to an electronic device in possession of the at least one assistance candidate.

Proximity alert and personalized instructions responsive to a physical distress

Systems, methods and computer program products for diagnosing consistency of a software cluster are provided herein. The system includes a deployment manager configured to function as a master node of the software cluster, a plurality of nodes connected to the deployment manager, and an electronic device or devices registered with the deployment manager. The deployment manager can be configured to generate a master matrix barcode and each of the plurality of nodes can be configured to generate a node matrix barcode. The electronic device(s) may be associated with a system administrator and may also be installed with application software. Embodiments may allow the system administrator to encode, manage and analyze diagnostic information of the nodes in the software cluster utilizing the master matrix barcode and the node matrix barcode in an efficient manner.

Self-diagnosing systems using matrix barcodes
