Mobile device integration with a virtual reality environment may include: determining a location of a mobile device relative to a head-mounted display displaying a virtual environment; receiving a video stream mirroring a display of the mobile device; rendering, in the virtual environment, based on the location of the mobile device relative to the head-mounted display, a representation of the mobile device comprising the video stream; and outputting, to the head-mounted display, a rendering of the virtual environment comprising the representation of the mobile device.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for backup memory administration are provided. Embodiments include storing in an active memory device, by a memory backup controller, blocks of computer data received from random access memory; recording in a change log, by the memory backup controller, identifications of each block of computer data that is stored in the active memory device; detecting, by the memory backup controller, a backup trigger event; and responsive to the detecting of the backup trigger event: copying, by the memory backup controller, from the active memory device, to a backup memory device, the blocks of data identified in the change log; and clearing, by the memory backup controller, the change log.

Recommending preferred ringer settings for a mobile communications device, including: receiving, from one or more mobile communications devices, location information identifying a location of the mobile communications device; receiving, from one or more mobile communications devices, ringer setting information identifying a ringer setting of the mobile communications device; identifying one or more location zones; and determining, in dependence upon the location information and the ringer setting information, preferred ringer settings for each of the one or more location zones.

Embodiments of the invention provide for device authentication in a flexible display computing device. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for device authentication in a flexible display computing device includes pre-storing in memory of a computing device, data corresponding to a pattern of folds of a flexible display of the computing device. The method also includes receiving a subsequent authentication request in the computing device and, in response, monitoring a folding of the flexible display and computing data corresponding to a pattern of the monitored folding. The method yet further includes comparing in the memory of the computing device the computed data to the pre-stored data. Finally, the method includes granting access to the computing device if the pattern of the monitored folding compares to the pattern of folds based upon a threshold degree of equality between the computed data and the pre-stored data.
