A method for dynamically authenticating and granting access to a computing system may be provided. The method comprises deriving at least one authentication question from at least one identified fact contained in a received text data. The at least one identified fact is stored in a knowledge base relating to a user profile. The method comprises conducting a textual authentication dialog. The textual authentication dialog comprises presenting the at least one authentication question and determining, based on natural language processing, that a received response comprises the at least one identified fact from which the at least one authentication question has been derived. The method comprises granting access to the computing system based on the textual authentication dialog.

Authentication using cognitive analysis

Technology for locating medical supplies, medical practitioners and/or non-medical-practitioner individuals who are in proximity to a first user who is experiencing a medical emergency. Appropriate notifications of and/or to the proximate medical supplies, medical practitioners and/or non-medical-practitioner individuals are made over a communication network.

Machine logic for recommending specialized first aid services

The present disclosure relates to a content management method for managing content of an online information system. The content comprises at least one document. The method comprises: identifying a hyperlink within the document. A replacement hyperlink may be selected from a set of candidate replacement hyperlinks. The candidate replacement hyperlinks refer to replacement documents; wherein selecting the replacement hyperlink is based on comparing metadata associated with the document with metadata associated with the individual replacement documents.

Managing content of an online information system

A webpage notification control system is provided. A computing device monitors a plurality of website content stored on a database. A computing device identifies one or more anchor contents associated with the plurality of website content stored on a database. A computing device detects changes made to one or more data contents associated with the plurality of website content stored on a database. A computing device generates an alert based, at least in part, on the detection of a change made to one or more data contents associated with the plurality of website content.

Webpage modification alert system

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for synchronizing document updates. An end-user subscribes to document updates of interest to the end-user. The contents associated with these updates are contained within one or more document sources, wherein the one or more document sources are used to construct an outputted document. Tags are utilized to monitor these updates and a fragmentation is performed in order to incorporate the modified content, associated with the updates, into a new outputted document.

On demand synchronization of information

Techniques are disclosed for distributing online content (e.g., news articles, blog posts, and the like) to a social media provider at a point in time determined based on topic maturity. One or more metrics are obtained from each of a plurality of social media providers. The metrics relate to a topic associated with a document for publishing on the social media providers. A measure is determined for each of the social media providers. The measure indicates when to publish the document on the social media provider based on the metrics associated with that provider. Upon determining that the measure exceeds a threshold for at least one of the social media providers, the document is published to the social media provider.

Collaboration system to share tailored information with social networks

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to improving computer performance. An action may be issued to a first client and a second client. A first optimization factor list (OFL) may be generated for the first client and a second OFL may be generated for the second client. After each OFL is generated, the first OFL may be compared to the second OFL. A correlation factor (CF) may be generated between the first client and the second client based on the OFL comparison, wherein the CF indicates a level of similarity between the first client and the second client. A bottleneck causing performance issues in the first client may be determined and computer configuration of the first client may be adjusted based on the bottleneck.

Modifying computer configuration to improve performance

A computer-implemented method and system for supporting a person at a site, venue, or location where the person may have a requirement. The method and system include storing a requirement code in a handheld device, and storing the requirement code and at least one characteristic relating to the requirement code in a requirement certification database. The requirement code is transmitted from the handheld device to a sensor at the site, and action data is received by a facility of the site from the requirement certification database. The action data is indicative of an action to be performed by the facility, dependent on the requirement code and the at least one characteristic, such that the facility adapts its function to a requirement of the person having the requirement.

Support for requirements of people in a public site or venue

A method for dynamically authenticating and granting access to a computing system may be provided. The method comprises receiving text data identifying a fact comprised in the text data, storing the identified fact in a knowledge base relating to a user profile, deriving at least one authentication question from the stored fact, and conducting a textual authentication dialog The dialog comprises presenting the at least one authentication question, receiving a response, analyzing the response using natural language processing, and determining, based on the analysis, whether the response comprises the stored fact from which the authentication question has been derived. Additionally, the method comprises granting access to the computing system, and presenting an enrichment question and receiving a related answer.

An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and system for receiving a request from a user to access a system. The user requesting access has an associated job function. The embodiment of the invention may include determining an access window for the job function of the user. The access window for the job function is a range of time where historical usage of the system by one or more users having the job function is above a threshold amount. The embodiment of the invention may include determining whether a time of access of the request is within the access window. The embodiment of the invention may include granting access to the system based on determining that the time of access of the request is within the access window.

Login performance

Methods and systems for managing telephone calls are provides. Aspects include setting one or more telephone numbers of one or more contacts of an owner of a telephone as child telephone numbers of a master telephone number of the telephone according to a correlation of the contacts to the owner based on user information thereof. Aspects also include assigning one of a plurality of call preferences to each child telephone number according to expenses information of telephone calls from the child telephone number to the master telephone number and from the master telephone number to the child telephone number and managing each telephone call received by the master telephone number from each child telephone number according to the corresponding call preference.
