A computer-implemented method selectively controls locks on a self-driving vehicle. One or more processors receive sensor readings from sensors on a self-driving vehicle (SDV) that describe a vehicle context assessment of the SDV and a passenger context assessment of a passenger in the SDV. One or more processors transmit a signal to a lock controller mechanism on the SDV to selectively lock and unlock a lock in the SDV based on the vehicle context assessment and the passenger context assessment.

An emergency method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium include a detection device configured to detect an emergency situation and switch a first device to emergency mode, an emergency mode device configured to gather information regarding the emergency situation while the first device is in emergency mode, and an actuation and discovery device configured to discover a second device in a vicinity of the first device and actuate the second device to perform an action based on the emergency situation detected by the detection device.

System, method, and recoding medium for emergency identification and management using smart devices and non-smart devices

A method generates and implements a real-time amelioration action for ameliorating an imminent collision between a self-driving vehicle (SDV) and an object. One or more processors detect that an imminent collision by a self-driving vehicle (SDV) is imminent with a confidence C1, and determine whether the SDV has an occupant of occupant type P with a confidence C2. One or more processors identify an object with which the imminent collision by the SDV is imminent with a confidence C3, and then generate and implement, based on C1, C2, C3, and P, a real-time amelioration action for ameliorating the imminent collision between the SDV and the object.

Coordinating data sharing among applications in mobile devices, in one aspect, may include a shared data manager application on a mobile device that manages data trade requirements automatically of a plurality of mobile applications, and permission grants or denials to reads and writes of data managed by the shared data manager and used by the plurality of mobile applications.

Automating and/or recommending data sharing coordination among applications in mobile devices

Coordinating data sharing among applications in mobile devices, in one aspect, may include a shared data manager application on a mobile device that manages data trade requirements of a plurality of mobile applications, and permission grants or denials to reads and writes of data managed by the shared data manager and used by the plurality of mobile applications.

Coordinating data sharing among applications in mobile devices

Shared data management in software-as-a-service platform may provide a common object data schema for one or more data objects and one or more data attributes associated with said one or more data objects stored in a master database. A plurality of applications may be enabled to be deployed dynamically on a platform and interoperate by sharing said data values stored in the master database. Data trading is enabled in which applications request permissions to read from or write to, or both, the master database, and in which the requests are mediated by granting or denying permissions.

Shared data management in software-as-a-service platform

Dynamic application adaptation in software-as-a-service platform, in one aspect, may receive an access permission associated with a published shared data management data object in the software-as-a-service platform having shared data management and a plurality of applications deployed, look up one or more rules associated with one or more features of an application deployed on the software-as-a-service platform, based on the received access permission, and activate or deactivate said one or more features associated with said plurality of applications based on said one or more rules.

Dynamic application adaptation in software-as-a-service platform

Federating multiple-level master data management systems may include a first set of master data management nodes having one or more common characteristics. A first group master data management node may be assigned to centrally manage the first set of master data management nodes, the first group master data management node maintaining master data management functionalities at a group level and providing a single logical view of master data to the first set of master data management nodes. Each master data management node in the first set has data access link with the first group master data management node based on implementation style of said each master data management node.

Federation of multi-level master data management systems

Managing data stewardship in multi-level MDM systems may include a steward data composer that creates data steward repository for a master data management system to define relationships between data stewards and data objects for which data stewards are responsible and steward data consolidator that creates an integrated data steward repository by combining multiple data steward repositories.

Data stewardship in federated multi-level master data management systems

Enforcing data sharing policy through shared data management, in one aspect, may include extracting data access rights from the one or more data policies based on a user role, data purpose, an object set and a constraint identification; extracting a data domain from the one or more data policies based on the data purpose and the object set; associating the data access rights and the data domain with data attributes of the shared data; automatically responding to application-based offers and requests for the shared data within a Software-as-a-Service platform based on the data access rights.

Enforcing data sharing policy through shared data management

One or more embodiments manage emergency response services. An emergency event is determined to have occurred. A set of civilian responders currently available to respond to the emergency event is selected from a plurality of civilian responders in response to determining that the emergency event has occurred. Each civilian responder in the set of civilian responders is associated with at least one wireless communication device. The set of civilian responders is notified that the emergency event has occurred. A set of emergency event information associated with the emergency event is transmitted to at least one wireless communication device associated with each civilian responder in the set of civilian responders.

Managing emergency response services using mobile communication devices

Federating master data management systems may include a network-aware adapter configured with a host master data management node. The network-aware adapter may establish one or more links with other master data management systems to allow the system to work together and leverage each other's data.
