Private audio communication in a conference call

A computer that identifies the video. The computer annotates the video using a deep learning tool. The computer analyzes the annotated video to highlight a dangerous condition. The computer identifies a video from a repository with the dangerous condition. The computer analyzes the video and the video from the repository using a similarity analysis. The computer determines a score based on the annotated video and based on comparing the video to the video from the repository and based on determining the score is above a threshold value, the computer generates an action.

Speculative actions based on predicting negative circumstances

A method, computer program product and computer system to generate a codebase for tenant microservices in a distributed computing environment is provided. A processor receives a request from a tenant to deploy a microservice in a distributed computing environment. A processor retrieves a schema associated with the tenant and the microservice to be deployed. A processor retrieves a constructor class associated with the microservice. A processor deploys an instance of the microservice within the distributed computing environment based on the constructor class associated with the microservice. A processor provides a service endpoint within the distributed computing environment managed by the deployed instance of the microservice.

Instantiated deployment of microservices

A method for a story fill authentication process includes, responsive to receiving a first authentication request to authenticate a user, displaying a first generated story with one or more obfuscated portions, where the first generated story is based on event data associated with a first previously captured event and additional data utilized to enrich the event data for the first previously captured event. The method also includes, responsive to determining text provided for the one or more obfuscated portions of the first generated story at least meets a comparison threshold level to a first complete generated story based on a semantic comparison, granting the user access to a resource associated with the first authentication request.

Generated story based authentication utilizing event data

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for automated urgency detection is provided. The present invention may include capturing at least one caller parameter. The present invention may include determining whether an incoming call is urgent. The present invention may include conveying a determined urgency to a receiver of the incoming call.

Automated indication of urgency using Internet of Things (IoT) data

A producer system may insert an encrypted value in a field in a message, where the message is associated with a schema that specifies a public key used to encrypt the encrypted value of the field and further specifies a type of an unencrypted form of the encrypted value, insert one or more unencrypted values in one or more fields in the message, and send the message to an external computing system. A consumer system may receive the message, determine, based at least in part on the public key specified by the schema, a private key associated with the public key, and decrypt, using the private key, the encrypted value of the field into the unencrypted form of the encrypted value.

Encrypted data according to a schema

A method for managing electronic communication notifications includes responsive to receiving a communication from a first user, identifying one or more keywords in the communication based on a plurality of keywords associated with a plurality of queries previously presented by a second user. Determining whether the communication includes a reply to a first open query, wherein the first open query represents a question previously presented by the second user directed to the first user. Responsive to determining the communication from the first user includes the reply to the first open query, notifying the second user utilizing a first alert type for the communication from the first user that includes the reply for the first open query, wherein the first alert type is different from a second alert type for notifying the second user regarding a communication that does not include the reply for the first open query.

Communication notification management

A method for dynamic content filtering includes accessing, by a processing unit, a media content that includes several content portions. The method further includes determining a rating tag associated with each content portion from the media content, and a user profile of a user requesting the media content to be rendered. The user profile contains a permission level for the user. The method further includes filtering the content portions from the media content based on the permission level, wherein, in response to the rating tag of a particular content portion exceeding the permission level in the user profile, filtering out the particular content portion. The method further includes rendering content portions that were not filtered out.

Dynamic tag-based parental control for media consumption

According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for managing access to one or more protected web resources based on the location of an approver is provided.
