A computer implemented method, device, and computer program product are provided for monitoring audio/video (A/V) content. During an A/V communications session between a user and a recipient, the method, device and computer program product receive, from a wireless source, A/V content for the user. The A/V content has a baseline quality for at least a portion of the AV communications session. A quality characteristic of interest (COI) associated with the A/V content is monitored. Event-induced signal (EIS) degradation is identified when the quality COI drops below the baseline quality at least one of i) by a predetermined amount or ii) within an event interval. In real-time during the AV communications session, a notification is generated. The notification indicates that the quality COI for the A/V content has degraded.

Methods and devices for monitoring quality of wireless content

One embodiment provides a method, the method including: detecting, during a meeting, a disruption within an environment surrounding a user, wherein the meeting is facilitated using a communication medium and comprises at least one participant remote to the user; determining, utilizing at least one sensor, a source of disruption; generating, utilizing a messaging generator system, a message identifying the disruption; and providing, to the at least one participant, the message. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Message generation for detected disruption

Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products for regenerative braking vehicles are provided. An apparatus includes a processor in a regenerative braking vehicle that has a one-pedal control and a memory connected to the processor that stores code executable by the processor to detect a driving context, monitor a regenerative battery system of the vehicle, and automatically adjust a regenerative intensity based at least in part upon the driving context and the regenerative battery system.

Automated assistance with one-pedal driving

In one aspect, an apparatus includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to use an ultra-wideband (UWB) transceiver to determine a current location of a device and to, based on the current location as determined using the UWB transceiver, restrict how the device can be used while the device is located at the current location.

Ultra-wideband-based device use restrictions

A wireless peripheral device implemented method includes receiving a first input, providing a user perceivable indication of existing wireless pairings of the wireless peripheral device via the wireless peripheral device in response to the first input, receiving a second input, and adding a new wireless pairing in response to the second input.

Wireless active registered or paired manipulation

An apparatus for setting an orientation mode includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor to a context for a route to be navigated by a user. In various examples, the code causes the processor to determine an orientation mode for the context. In various examples, the code causes the processor to set an orientation mode for a navigation system to a first orientation mode based on the context. A method and a computer program may perform the functions of the apparatus.

Method for contextual navigation direction orientation

In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to determine a first context and to determine that a threshold number of messages of a message chain have been received within a threshold amount of time. Based on the first context and the threshold number of messages being received within the threshold amount of time, the instructions are executable to delay presenting at least one notification regarding one or more messages of the message chain.

Message notification delay

Apparatus, methods, and computer program products for managing power sharing in electronic devices are disclosed. One apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor to determine, in real-time, whether one or more first electronic devices that are compatible with a second electronic device that is low on power are within a predetermined geographic distance of the second electronic device and, in response to determining that one or more first electronic devices that are compatible with the second electronic device are within the predetermined geographic distance of the second electronic device, transmit a request to the one or more first electronic devices inquiring whether any of the one or more first electronic devices are willing to share power with the second electronic device. Methods and computer program products that include and/or perform the operations of the apparatus are also disclosed.

Apparatus, methods, and program products for managing power sharing in electronic devices

One embodiment provides a method, the method including: reading, using a device application identification system of an information handling device of a user, an identifier broadcast by a device, wherein the device is enabled to communicate with other devices within a network of devices; identifying, using the device application identification system and based on the identifier, a software application corresponding to the device; and presenting, using the device application identification system, the software application to the user. Other aspects are claimed and described.

Software application identification for device

Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for assisting one-pedal driving. An apparatus includes a processor in a regenerative braking vehicle that has a one-pedal control and a memory coupled to the processor that stores code executable by the processor to detect a change in a driving context, monitor a regenerative battery system of the vehicle, and notify a driver of the vehicle to begin modifying pressure upon the one-pedal control based at least in part upon the change in the driving context and the regenerative battery system.

Assisting one-pedal driving

A system and method include monitoring activity of users in a designated environment by receiving device data generated by electronic devices or monitoring network data on a network to which the electronic devices are connected. The system and method determine a pending disruption at the designated environment, and assign at least one of the users as a primary responder to handle the pending disruption based at least in part on the activity of the users. The system and method communication a primary notification to a first electronic device of the electronic devices, with which the primary responder interacts, to notify the primary responder about the pending disruption prior to the pending disruption creating a disturbance at the designated environment.

Notification routing system and method for mitigating disruptions

In one aspect, at least one device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to determine that at least part of a video conference (or even an audio conference) is to be recorded for a non-attending invitee of the video conference. Responsive to the determination, the instructions are executable to prompt an attendee of the video conference to record at least part of the video conference and/or record at least part of the video conference.

Recording of electronic conference for non-attending invitee

In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor, a display accessible to the at least one processor, and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to identify a context associated with a user, identify a location of the user, and adjust the orientation of the display to direct the display toward the location of the user based on the context associated with the user and the location of the user.

Adjustment of display orientation based on context and location of user in multi-user environment

Apparatuses, methods, and program products are disclosed for selecting an authentication medium. One apparatus includes at least one processor and a memory that stores code executable by the at least one processor.
