A computer-implemented method for providing a modification history of digital information associated with a project is disclosed. A local agent runs at a computing entity at least temporarily associated with a user. A list of recognition tags is provided. A determination is made by the local agent whether digital information is associated with a project based on the list of recognition tags in order to establish project-relevant information. One or more additional recognition tags are automatically extracted out of the project-relevant information. The one or more additional recognition tags are added to the list of recognition tags. The project-relevant information or information derived from the project-relevant information is stored in a data repository. Modification history information is created regarding the project-relevant information.

Transferring files between computer nodes located on different networks is provided. A path for transferring a file to a target node located on a different network is determined. The path includes an address of the target node and a set of one or more addresses of intermediate network bridge nodes connecting the different networks. At least one command to be executed to transfer the file to a specific node present in the path is determined. A file transfer command record is generated. The file transfer command record includes the path and the at least one command to be executed to transfer the file to the specific node present in the path.

Transferring files between computer nodes on different networks

An example operation may include one or more of receiving a plurality of local audio files from a plurality of audio devices that participated in a teleconference, where each local audio file includes a locally captured audio recording of a user of a respective audio device during the teleconference, generating combined audio playback information for the teleconference based on the plurality of local audio files received from the plurality of audio devices, the generating including detecting audio portions within the plurality of local audio files and synchronizing a playing order of the detected audio portions based on timing information included in the plurality of local audio files, and transmitting the combined audio playback information of the teleconference to at least one audio device among the plurality of audio devices.

Teleconference recording management system

A method for switching interface device input between computing devices can begin with connecting a primary computing device to a secondary computing device using a physical connector cable using the appropriate communications port of each computing device. An interface input control program can be configured to establish a unique interface trigger that defines a user-selected series of inputs that switches the primary computing device between a first input state and a second input state. Input from the interface input devices of the primary computing device can be interpreted by a device driver. In the first input state, the input can be directed to the operating system of the primary computing device. In the second input state, the input can be redirected to the secondary computing device via the physical connector cable, which can be recognized as having originated from local interface input devices.

Device driver-level approach for utilizing a single set of interface input devices for multiple computing devices

An example operation may include one or more of generating a local audio file comprising audio captured of a user participating in a teleconference, receiving one or more other local audio files of the teleconference captured by one or more other audio devices that participated in the teleconference, determining a synchronized playback order for audio portions of the generated local audio file and audio portions of the one or more received local audio files based on timing information included in the generated local audio file and the received timing information, and outputting a playback of the audio portions of the generated local audio file and the detected audio portions of the one or more received local audio files synchronized together based on the determined synchronized playback order.

Systems, methods, and computer program products to perform an operation comprising receiving a request to download a first object by a first computing device, wherein the first computing device is of a plurality of computing devices in a local area network (LAN), referencing an object catalog in a mail server using an identifier associated with the first object, and upon determining that the object catalog does not include the identifier of the first object, storing the first object at a first storage location of a first storage device associated with the first computing device, computing a hash value for the first object, and storing, in the object catalog, indications of the hash value, the first storage device, and the first storage location of the first storage device in a record associated with the first object.

Integrated file catalog

In an approach for managing user profiles, a computer identifies a first user profile and one or more additional user profiles, wherein the first user profile is active on a computing device. The computer receives streaming data. The computer receives a trigger wherein the received trigger includes biometric data. The computer identifies a second user profile from the identified one or more additional user profiles that is associated with the received trigger. The computer compares biometric data from the second user profile with the biometric data in the received trigger. The computer determines whether the biometric data matches, within a defined tolerance level, the biometric data in the second user profile.

Dynamic multi-user computer configuration settings

A method for managing a plurality of computing machines comprises deploying an indication of a management activity having an applicability rule to selected one or more of the computing machines to cause each of the selected computing machines fulfilling the applicability rule to execute the management activity on the selected computing machine, receiving an error message for each failure computing machine of the selected computing machines wherein the execution of the management activity has failed, determining at least one relevant property of each failure computing machine among a plurality of selected properties of the computing machines according to the corresponding error message, collecting a value of at least part of the selected properties for at least part of the computing machines, the values of the selected properties comprising a failure value of each relevant property for each failure computing machine, and updating the applicability rule according to the failure values.

Management of computing machines with dynamic update of applicability rules

A method of distinguishing at least one key of a key array. The method can include, via a processor, detecting initial startup of a processing system. The method further can include, during the initial startup, distinguishing at least a first key of the key array from other keys of the key array, wherein the first key is selectable to access a system startup menu or system function.
