Modifying an environment based on a user's state of flow includes receiving, by a computer, measurements associated with biometric data of the user from a plurality of sensors, the measurements corresponding to an electric frequency associated with a current state of the user. The computer determines whether the measurements correspond to a specified electric frequency threshold, and when the measurements satisfy the specified electric frequency threshold, identifies a first setting of one or more elements located in the user's environment. Each of the one or more elements controls an environmental parameter of the user's environment. The first setting of each of the one or more elements are stored in a library of environmental conditions associated with a state of flow of the user.

User state-of-flow-based environment configuration using artificial intelligence and biometric data

A computer system, a computer program product, and a computer-implemented system are provided for leveraging a national language processing (NLP) system for dynamically generating natural language output data. A NLP module investigates text or communication data from one or more platforms and derives global characteristic data from the investigated data. The derived global characteristic data is subject to modulation with a captured local writing style corresponding to a captured relationship. Contextual information is dynamically identified. Real-time natural language output communication data is generated that incorporates communication dynamics from the modulated global characteristic data and the dynamically identified contextual information.

A method for dynamically determining a separation distance in which thermal images of a space are received that indicate a count and location of users within the space, temperature of the users within the space are received along with acoustic data from the users within the space, which is filtered to include specific symptom-related sounds and discard other sounds. The one or more processors generate a probability of a contagious infection of users within the space at a location determined by the thermal images, based on correlating the temperature and the acoustic data associated with the users within the space. A separation distance from the users within the space is calculated, based on the locations and the probabilities of infection of the users within the space, and a notification corresponding to the calculated separation distance is delivered to a protected user.

Determination of separation distance from thermal and acoustic input

In an approach to improve multi-factor authentication embodiments generate an evaluation-mask over one or more modified items on a modified image created by a generative adversarial network (GAN). Further, embodiments create a scoring grid by comparing an original image with the modified image to identify different pixels between the original image and the modified image, and overlay the evaluation-mask over the identified different pixels on the modified image. Embodiments display the modified image as a multi-factor authentication prompt to a user and prompt the user to provide a response that identifies one or more modifications in the modified image. Additionally, embodiments compute an evaluation score based on a comparison of the response from the user with the evaluation-mask, to validate the response from the user, and authenticate and grant the user access to data or other resources if the evaluation score meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Generating an evaluation-mask for multi-factor authentication

A method includes receiving, by a computing device, device information for a user device and user environment devices; sending, by the computing device, image templates to the user device using the device information; adjusting, by the computing device, device settings on the user device and the user environment devices in response to a selection of an image template of the image templates; receiving, by the computing device, an image from the user device; comparing, by the computing device, the image to a target image; determining, by the computing device, the image is acceptable; and in response to determining the image is acceptable, sending, by the computing device, the acceptable image to a third party.

In an approach to generating conversational image representations, one or more computer processors detect one or more utterances by a user, wherein utterances are either textual or acoustic. The one or more computer processors generate one or more image representations of the one or more detected utterances utilizing a generative adversarial network restricted by one or more user privacy parameters, wherein the generative adversarial network is fed with an extracted sentiment, a generated avatar, an identified topic, an extracted location, and one or more user preferences. The one or more computer processors display the generated one or more image representations on one or more devices associated with respective one or more recipients of the one or more utterances.

Autocreation of conversational image representation

Content of entertainment media that is being consumed by a user is analyzed. An element of the content that is of a first character is identified. A preference associated with the user to consume entertainment media that contains elements of a second character is identified. An updated version of the element is generated. The updated version of the element is of the second character, such that the media is consumed by the user with the element in the updated version.

Content modification based on element contextualization

A state of a driver operating a vehicle based at least on a rest pattern of the driver and a driver safety score and vehicle characteristic associated with the vehicle are determined. A risk of a planned route is received based on environment information. A safety risk for at least one location along the planned route is determined based on the received risk. Based on the safety risk, a use of available driver attention determined based on the state of the driver, possible modification of the planned route and vehicle state may be planned that minimize the safety risk. It may be determined that the driver is approaching a location along the planned route having a safety risk. Responsive to determining that the driver is approaching a location along the planned route having a safety risk, alert may be caused to be sent to the driver.

Method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for verifying location using sound. In some embodiments, location data representing an unverified location of a first electronic device are received. Audio data generated based on sound detected by a sensor of the first electronic device during a predetermined time are received, as well as audio data generated based on trusted sound detected by a sensor of a second electronic device during the predetermined time, wherein the second electronic device is located near the unverified location of the first electronic device, and wherein the trusted sound includes one or more frequencies inaudible to humans (e.g., infrasonic and/or ultrasonic sound). The audio data generated by the first and second electronic devices are analyzed and a similarity score representing a similarity between the respective audio data is generated. The unverified location of the first electronic device may be verified based on the similarity score.
