Computing systems, methods and management tools for scheduling, optimizing and completing a dynamically adjustable workflow process. The computing systems, methods and management tools being capable of evaluating the availability of resources available for completing the workflow process and ascertaining the reliability of the resources in order to pre-generate a workflow process schedule. The computing systems, methods and management tools are further able to communicate with the assigned resources to incrementally negotiate and receive approval for proposed improvements to the pre-generated workflow schedule prior to implementation of the workflow schedule in order to optimize the cycle time of the process and increase probability of successfully completing the workflow process. The computing systems, methods and management tools may dynamically track the due dates for completing particular tasks and generate amended workflow process schedules in the event a failure occurs.

Disclosed are a method and a computer system for splitting and merging files via a motion input on a graphical user interface. The method comprises determining existence of a motion input; splitting the file into split multiple partial files based on pre-configurations; and generating multiple partial file icons representing the split multiple partial files on the graphical user interface. The multiple partial files may be subsequently merged together.

A computer-implemented method and system launches an application with a preferred user interface (UI) language on a device. The method and system receive a voice command from a user to open an application on a device having a computer. The voice command is compared to a stored command language in an audio file device. The system and method initiates opening the application, in response to determining that the voice command matches the stored command language. The application is identified based on the voice command. The system and method determines a preferred language for the software application based on a language file stored on the computer readable medium and the language file being associated with the stored audio file. The method and system opens the application in response to the voice command, and sets the preferred language for a user interface (UI) of the device in response to the determined preferred language.

In an approach for storing frames of a video, a computer divides a video into one or more frames. The computer identifies a frame type associated with an individual frame within the divided one or more frames, wherein the identified frame type includes one of the following: an I-frame, a B-frame, and a P-frame. The computer stores the individual frame within a corresponding storage location based on the associated identified frame type.

Providing multi-dimensional password/challenge authentication for a computer device includes, in response to a login request, sending a login webpage, the webpage at least comprising a set of randomly generated icons with graphical attributes for sequentially selecting; and, determining whether each icon choice entered by a user complies with at least a dimensional option preset for each digit of a preset password according to at least a dimensional option of the digit.
