Software for securely storing digital content using a distributed ledger. The software performs the following operations: (i) receiving identification information of an owner of a digital asset, metadata of the digital asset, a digital hash of the digital asset, and the digital asset; (ii) verifying authenticity of the owner based, at least in part, the received identification information; (iii) in response to verifying the authenticity of the owner, creating a watermarked version of the digital asset based on the identification information of the owner, the metadata of the digital asset, and the digital hash; and (iv) storing the digital asset and the watermarked version of the digital asset in a first distributed ledger.

Securely storing digital content using a distributed ledger

An example operation may include one or more of transmitting a copy of the master ledger when a developer joins a network, receiving proposed changes to the master ledger, and updating the master ledger at the branch hash.

Blockchain technique for agile software development framework

An example operation may include one or more of transmitting a copy of the master ledger, wherein the master ledger comprises a code and history, receiving one or more changes to the copy of the master ledger, updating the master ledger when a required smart contract code standard is met, and initiating a push of the updated master ledger to one or more developer branches to enforce synchronization across the one or more developer branches.

A method, system, and computer product for prompting a patient to take a medicine including collecting medicine prescription information associated with a patient, collecting medicine usage data associated with the patient, comparing the medicine usage data with the medicine prescription information, determining whether a medicine is taken by the patient as prescribed in the prescription information based on a comparison result of the medicine usage data and the prescription information, and generating one or more control signals to interrupt operations of one or more devices within an environment of the patient or environments of the patient's family member or caregivers, in response to determining that the medicine is not taken as prescribed.

Method to determine, remind and validate medication usage

Software for preventing fraud in digital content licensing and distribution using a distributed ledger technology. The software performs the following operations: (i) receiving a request for a license of a digital asset, wherein a record of the digital asset is stored in a first distributed ledger; (ii) verifying a consensus for the request of the license of the digital asset; and (iii) responsive to verifying the consensus for the request of the license of the digital asset: storing a transaction settlement record in a second distributed ledger, creating a sharded copy of the digital asset including a plurality of shards of the digital asset, and storing at least one shard of the sharded copy of the digital asset in the second distributed ledger with sharding instructions for reconstructing the digital asset from the sharded copy.

Preventing fraud in digital content licensing and distribution using distributed ledgers

An example operation may include one or more of creating a child ledger for each new environment that is setup, updating a master ledger when a smart contract condition is met, and when the master ledger is updated, initiating deployment of an update to a plurality of managed environments.

Configuration drift prevention across multiple systems using blockchain

A system, a method and a computer program product for managing multiple meetings and/or conference calls by performing the steps of receiving, by a computer, invitations to attend, by at least one attendee, two or more meetings, and detecting, by the computer, a one or more conflicts between the two meetings. The computer communicates, to the attendee, at least one detected conflict of the one or more detected conflicts. The computer receives an identification of a single meeting of the two or more meetings the at least one attendee will attend and at least one meeting to be transcribed. At least one meeting to be transcribed includes all meetings of the two or more meetings exclusive of the single meeting the attendee will attend. At least a portion of the at least one meeting is transcribed into a first textual transcript and selectively delivered to the attendee in real time.

Managing, monitoring and transcribing concurrent meetings and/or conference calls

A managing computer receives a proposed outgoing message that has been created for proposed transmission to one or more recipients. The managing computer determines a respective tone associated with one or more respective parts of the proposed outgoing message, and determines a probable interpreted tone of the one or more respective parts as perceived by the one or more recipients. In response to determining a difference between the respective tone and the probable interpreted tone for the one or more respective parts of the proposed outgoing message, the managing computer changes the one or more respective parts of the proposed outgoing message in order to create a modified outgoing message, where the probable interpreted tone for the one or more recipients of the modified outgoing message matches a sender-intended tone for the modified outgoing message. The managing computer then transmits the modified outgoing message to the one or more recipients.

Control of message transmission

Machine logic for: receiving data set (for example, a website) that includes a plurality of links, with the links respectively identifying logical locations of data stored on a set of server computer(s); and making a deep copy of the servable data set on the set of server computer(s), with the deep copying including: copying each link of the plurality of links of the servable data set from a respective source logical location to a respective target location, and adding each copied link of the plurality of links as a record in a mapping table. The mapping table can help to automatically update/replace links wherever they are found in related system artifacts. If the resolution can't be automatically determined then the system suggests possible target links for manual inspection/updates based on the likelihood of correctness, artifact types, and user roles.

Fixing embedded richtext links in copied related assets

A method, system, and apparatus are provided for automating digital resource management by using monitored user interactions with digital resources to compute a user interaction metric for each digital resource upon detecting a role change for a first user having a user interaction history with the digital resources, where each user interaction metric indicates how important the first user is to the corresponding digital resource and is used to select and map a first digital resource to a second user to provide an ownership transition recommendation for the first digital resource in response to the role change for the first user.

System and method to identify, gather, and detect reusable digital assets

A method, system and computer program product for assisting authors in composing suitable messages or documents for intended recipients. A profile to be used in analyzing the message/document is obtained, where the profile contains a set of corrections and correlations to be applied to the message/document for the intended recipients of the message/document. The content of the message/document is analyzed using the obtained profile to assess for any language that may be misunderstood or offensive to the intended recipients. Upon identifying words, phrases, sentences or images in the message/document as being potentially misunderstood or offensive to the recipients, suggestions are provided to modify such language. In this manner, the author of the message/document is able to assess the content and context of the message/document based on the intended recipients prior to sending the message/document thereby reducing the likelihood that the recipients will interpret the message/document in an untoward manner.
