A method comprising retrieving a plurality of invalid user first commands and a plurality of user responses stored in a memory, wherein each of plurality of invalid user verbal commands are commands to a smart hub requesting a first smart device perform an action, wherein each of the plurality of invalid commands includes at least a first name for the first smart device, wherein the first name is not a valid name for the first smart device. Determining a trend within the retrieved plurality of invalid user verbal commands and a plurality of user responses, wherein the trend identifies the first name as being used a plurality of times and identifies the first smart device the user was referring to when the user used the first name. Automatically updating a namespace database to include the first name as an alias for a setup name for the first smart device.

Dynamic namespace modification for virtual agents

In an approach for an access control system, a processor verifies an identity of a user in specified time intervals based on a first device associated with the user. A processor sends a validation token to a cloud-based system and updates a record associated with the user in the cloud-based system. A processor, in response to an attempt to access a secure area, transmits the validation token to a second device. A processor verifies the validation token by the second device with the cloud-based system.

Access control authentication scheme based on continuous authentication

A computer-implemented method includes: receiving, by a computer device, conference information defining parameters of a conference; receiving, by the computer device, conference constraints relative to location types; generating, by the computer device, a rule set based on the conference constraints and the location types; obtaining, by the computer device, location information of participant devices connected to the conference; determining, by the computer device and for each one of the participant devices connected to the conference, whether one of the conference constraints applies to the one of the participant devices based on the location of the one of the participant devices and the rule set; and in response to determining that one of the conference constraints applies to the one of the participant devices, the computer device applying the one of the conference constraints applies to the one of the participant devices.
