Disclosed are a system and a method for collecting and returning luggage at public transportation systems. The method includes storing characteristic features and metadata corresponding to a luggage and its individual owner, and associating a color while collecting the luggage at a luggage submitting terminal. The luggage may be easily identified at a luggage providing terminal, using an identification tag attached to the luggage and the associated metadata (including the associated colour). Upon an end of journey, the individual may be allowed to pick the luggage upon providing a handshake signal. In case the handshake signal is not provided and the individual owner's metadata is not matched, security agencies may be alerted about picking of the luggage by another individual.

System and method for collecting and returning luggage at public transportation systems

A computer-implemented method and computer processing system are provided. The method includes identifying, by a processor, atomic operations within a sequence of data elements and metadata associated with the atomic operations. The sequence of data elements is related to an interaction between a user and a user interface of a computer system that includes the processor. The method also includes calculating, by the processor, correlation indexes from the metadata. A respective correlation index is calculated for various atomic operation groups formed from the atomic operations. The method additionally includes identifying, by the processor, a macro operation from at least one of the correlation indexes. The macro operation includes multiple correlated atomic operations from among the atomic operations identified within the sequence.

Supporting repetitive operations within an operating system

Aspects of the present invention provide an approach for controlling energy generation by an airflow originating from a moving elevator cabin. Wing pressure pads are positioned outside the elevator cabin extending to walls of the elevator shaft for preventing an airflow in the elevator shaft from above the elevator cabin to an area in the shaft below the elevator cabin. The elevator shaft is pressure-tight, and the elevator shaft has, at one end of the elevator shaft, an air conduit in which a first power generator stage having a propeller-driven electrical power generator is positioned. The method further intercepts a floor selection for the cabin and disables the power generators if a floor difference from a current position of the elevator cabin to a target position of the elevator cabin is below a predefined threshold value.

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for authenticating a user in a computing system is provided. A corresponding method comprises validating one or more user snapshots of the user that should have been acquired in corresponding acquisition conditions according to their match with the corresponding acquisition conditions; the user snapshots are then sent (at least in part) to one or more authenticators requesting them to identify the user. A computer program and a computer program product for performing the method are also proposed. Moreover, a corresponding system is proposed.

Authentication of users based on snapshots thereof taken in corresponding acquisition conditions

Repositioning of a display on a touch screen based on touch screen usage statistics. Usage information of the touch screen is obtained, based on using the touch screen, which includes a plurality of contact points. Based on the usage information, positioning information for a display to be depicted on the touch screen is determined. The display is to be used to enter data and includes multiple contact points. Based on the positioning information, the display is repositioned on the touch screen. The repositioning includes moving one or more contact points of the multiple contact points from one or more locations on the touch screen to one or more other locations on the touch screen.

A system for controlling airplane mode of a user device is configured to transmit a connection request to a telecommunication network for connecting with a target user device over a first communication channel. Upon receiving a call failure response from the telecommunication network the system is configured to transmitting a second communication request to the target user device through a second communication channel, wherein the second communication request comprises a target authentication key. The target user device is configured for generating an authentication response upon authentication of the second communication request based on the target authentication key. Further, the system is configured to transmit an activation signal to the target user device through the secondary communication channel for deactivating the airplane-mode and activate the first communication channel upon receipt of the activation signal.
