A method, system, and computer program product for occupant-based elevator actions are provided. The method identifies a set of subjects approaching a set of elevators to generate a set of identities for the set of subjects. A set of initial priority statuses are generated for the set of subjects. Based on the set of identities and the set of initial priority statuses, an elevator dispatch solution is determined. The method updates at least a portion of the initial priority statuses to generate a set of subsequent priority statuses in response to a subset of subjects entering at least one elevator. The method determines an isolation response for a first subject of the subset of subjects and modifies the elevator dispatch solution based on the isolation response to generate an isolation dispatch solution. The at least one elevator executes the isolation dispatch solution.

Occupant-based intelligent elevator actions

A processor may identify an anomaly in one or more communications. A processor may monitor the one or more communications for an utterance. A processor may perform natural language processing (NLP) on the utterance. A processor may generate an understanding of the utterance using natural language understanding (NLU). A processor may detect the anomaly from the understanding of the utterance. A processor may execute a response, responsive to detecting the anomaly.

Identification of anomalies in air traffic control communications

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for filtering a phone call are provided. An incoming phone call to a phone is detected. Call metadata from the incoming phone call is received. The call metadata is compared to entries of a learned relationship filter. The entries of the learned relationship filter are obtained by monitoring behavior of a phone user on the phone during previous calls to the phone and application usage on the phone so that learned relationships to the phone user are identified and saved. The learned relationship filter provides a filtering response. The filtering response is performed to the incoming phone call.

Contextual call handling mechanism with learned relationship filter

Embodiments provide a computer implemented method of enforcing password uniqueness for different user accounts of a particular user. The method includes: receiving a first new password from a first user account of the particular user, wherein the first user account is associated with a first system/object referenced by a first Password Relationship Object (PRO); evaluating a uniqueness policy to determine whether password uniqueness is required by one or more other PROs, wherein each system/object referenced by the one or more other PROs has a different user account of the particular user; if the password uniqueness is required by the one or more other PROs, evaluating a matching policy to determine whether the first new password matches any password of each different user account associated with one or more systems/objects referenced by the one or more other PROs; if there is a match, enforcing an enforcement policy.

Enforcement of password uniqueness

An approach is disclosed that transmits a command from an initiating device, the command being directed to a target device and the initiating device is disconnected from the target device. The command is sent through any number of receiving devices to eventually be received by the target device with the other receiving devices being intermediate devices. The approach identifies a set of connectivity conduits between the receiving devices where at least one of the connectivity conduits is between one of the intermediate devices and the target device. The initiating device receives a confirmation from one of the intermediate device that the command was transmitted to the target device by the intermediate device.

Use of intermediary devices for control of portable computers and mobile devices

An approach is disclosed that transmits, from a transmitting device, a wipe instruction to a target device. Execution of the wipe instruction erases a data from the target device. After transmission of the wipe instruction, the approach monitors the target device to gather post-wipe instruction data from the target device. The post-wipe instruction data includes connectivity data detected from the target device. The post-wipe instruction data is analyzed with the analysis determining whether the wipe instruction executed successfully on the target device.

Providing positive confirmation of a mobile or portable computer wipe

A method, system or computer usable program product for utilizing caller identification (ID) for managing a mobile device including receiving a policy for invoking an executive function on the mobile device upon a first condition being met wherein the executive function is a function performed by a processor of the mobile device beyond call filtering; determining a caller ID associated with the executive function; providing a caller ID application to the mobile device which will perform the executive function upon the mobile device receiving a phone call with the caller ID that is associated with the executive function; and responsive to meeting the first condition of the policy, placing a phone call to the mobile device with a caller ID matching the caller ID associated with the executive function.
