A video stream moving object identifier takes a series of video frames as input, reduces the scale of the video frames, then performs pixel analysis on the sequential video frames to identify moving objects. Once moving objects are identified, the moving objects are resized according to input rules for a neural network object classifier to make the resized objects the correct size to be input to the neural network object classifier. The moving objects are then sent to a neural network object classifier, which processes the objects and returns an identification of the moving objects. The neural network object classifier can operate using one or more whitelists and one or more blacklists.

A cognitive one-time password generation method, system, and computer program product, include sending a cognitive one-time password question to a user via a third-party platform and granting access to a secured service when the user inputs into the secured service a cognitive one-time password as a correct answer to the cognitive one-time password question where the user receives the cognitive one-time password question, independently from the secured service via the third-party platform, to formulate the correct answer to input into the secured service.

System, method and computer program product for generating a cognitive one-time password

A cognitive one-time password generation method, system, and computer program product, include generating a cognitive one-time password question when a user attempts to login to a secured service, sending the cognitive one-time password question to the user via a third-party platform, and granting access to the secured service when the user inputs into the secured service a cognitive one-time password as a correct answer to the cognitive one-time password question.

An approach for enabling collaborative development of a database application is provided. Specifically, this approach provides a database development and collaboration tool (DDCT), which can be utilized by multiple developers involved in a particular software project, to enable automated synchronization and database version control by allowing a database development language and data changes to be stored in a metadata form that is general to more than one database management system (DBMS). Each developer is united and able to collaborate through the system, thus ensuring that a change to a database structure and/or data in a static data table created in a particular database language by one developer is automatically incorporated in the overall development process. Furthermore, the DDCT provides the opportunity to maintain a single repository entry for more than one DBMS, which simplifies synchronization.

A system and method for facilitating identification of an attacking computer in a network is provided. A user attempting to login to a network application may be presented with a screen prior to the login which lists preconditions of gaining access to the application. If a user concurs with the preconditions, a security module is downloaded to the user's computer and executed which gathers various configuration settings and transmits the gathered information to a predetermined destination. The security module may also attempt to place a call to a predetermined destination over a modem in the computer to cause registration of caller-ID data when answered at the predetermined destination. Once the security check is completed, login may proceed with the network application. Any data gathered by the security module may be stored for later recall and use to identify the computer in the event of an attack.

In an approach for sending a media list to a transportation vehicle for a user, a processor determines a media list for travel for a user, wherein the media list includes at least one media content item, and wherein the media list has associated access credentials that are set by the user. A processor receives a travel reservation for the user, wherein the travel reservation includes, at least, a departure location and a destination location. A processor determines a transportation vehicle associated with the travel reservation. A processor receives the access credentials to the media list. A processor uses the access credentials to access the media list. A processor send the media list to the transportation vehicle, wherein the media list is associated with the user, and wherein the media list is accessible to the user.

Media list for travel

An approach for authentication is provided. The approach performs identifying, by one or more computer processors, an account attempting to access content. The approach performs identifying, by one or more computer processors, a file including at least authentication information. The approach performs identifying, by one or more computer processors, a location of the authentication information within the identified file. The approach performs identifying, by one or more computer processors, a length of the authentication information. The approach performs identifying, by one or more computer processors, the authentication information in the identified file based at least on the identified location and the identified length of the authentication information. The approach performs includes determining, by one or more computer processors, whether the identified authentication information matches previously submitted authentication information for the identified account attempting to access content requiring authentication.

File and bit location authentication

An embodiment of the invention provides a method for a utility consumption advisor, wherein a target electricity consumption for a predefined time period is received with a user interface. User parameters are also received with the user interface, the user parameters including a list of electricity consumption items that may not be modified, a list of electricity consumption items that may be modified, and a range of modification for each of the listed electricity consumption items that may be modified. The user's electricity consumption history is determined; and, an electricity utilization plan is generated for the predefined time period with a processor. The electricity utilization plan is generated based on the target electricity consumption, the user parameters, and the user's electricity consumption history. The electricity utilization plan is implemented by wirelessly controlling the electricity consumption items that may be modified.

Utility consumption advisor

A program product and system that implements a method for adding an Information Technology (IT) structure A to an IT structure X. A first list of all dependencies of elements in a composition of X is received. It is determined that no dependency of any element E in the composition of X in the first list has an exclusion with a class Y to which A belongs. A second list of all dependencies of A is received. It is determined that no dependency of A in the second list has an exclusion with a class Z to which an element E in the composition of X belongs. It is determined that no dependency of any element E in the composition of X in the first list has an exclusion with a class Y to which A belongs and ensuring that A's dependencies are satisfied followed by adding A to X.

Automation of information technology system development

A method, computer program product, and computer system for authenticating user access to a computing system using dynamic tokens are provided. A login request from a client is received, and in response, a token request from the client is issued. The token request identifies one or more sequence positions. One or more client tokens generated by the client are received based on the one or more sequence positions of the tokens. A sequence of tokens based on a first seed and a first algorithm are generated. The login request is authenticated by comparing the one or more client tokens with the sequence of tokens, based at least in part, on the one or more sequence positions.
