Abstract: A voice-controlled device is operated in a location. When a mobile device enters the location, audio outputted by the mobile device is stored. If a voice command is received at the voice-controlled device, the stored audio outputted by the mobile device is accessed. If it is determined that the voice command originated from the mobile device, then the received voice command is ignored.

Abstract: A method includes monitoring unstructured data related to a configuration item in a relevant source, analyzing the data using a natural language processing system, and determining that the configuration item has an event wherein the configuration item is to be maintained in response to the analysis of the data. The method also includes designating that the configuration item is in a maintenance mode and suppressing alerts related to the configuration item while the configuration item is in the maintenance mode.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to voice command filtering. Communication is established with a voice controlled device located at a location. Data indicating blocked directions is received from the voice controlled device. A voice command is received. A determination is made that the voice command is received from a blocked direction indicated in the data. The received voice command is then ignored.

Abstract: Concepts for detecting a scene transition in video footage are presented. One example comprises, for each of a plurality of different frames of video footage, obtaining a value of a confidence measure associated with a detected object in the frame. A scene transition in the video footage is then detected based on the obtained values of the confidence measure.

Abstract: An information carrier object is provided for providing information via a touch-sensitive interface of a computing device. The information carrier object includes a substrate supporting a planar region on which a plurality of touchpoints is defined. A first subset of the touchpoints are data-encoding touchpoints arranged in a circular geometric configuration in which a position of each touchpoint conveys encoded data and a second subset of the touchpoints are reference touchpoints in relation to which data-encoding touchpoints are positioned. A method and system are provided for retrieving information from an information carrier object applied to a touch-sensitive interface.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for html editing operation. The embodiment may include monitoring on a display of a device to detect an input box to receive input data of an expected data type and format. The embodiment may also include, in response to detecting an input box displayed in a first view, determining the expected data type and format of input data for the input box. The embodiment may further include analysing data displayed in a second view to identify data matching the expected data type and format of input data for the input box, wherein the second view is displayed subsequent to the first view. The embodiment may also include automatically selecting the identified data for copying from the second view to the input box in the first view as part of a copy and paste operation of the device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention describe virtual object placement in augmented reality environments. Embodiments describe, determining a physical meeting room structure based on the meeting data and user data and identifying, by an augmented reality device, a physical room layout in which a first user is located. Embodiments describe determining an augmented room layout for the first user based on the identified physical room layout, in which determining the augmented room layout comprises: executing an optimization algorithm, and computing an optimization score for each iteration of potential room layouts produced by the optimization algorithm. Additionally, embodiments describe generating an augmented reality representation of a meeting environment tailored to the physical room layout based on the physical meeting room structure and the augmented room layout, and displaying to the first user the augmented reality representation of the meeting environment.
