Abstract: A computer program product and method for a user to obtain an authentication to an account with a first user device and transfer the obtained authentication to a second user device. The first user device may be a wearable device, such as an XR device like smart glasses, and the second user device may be a smart card, or vice versa. The authentication transfer may enable both devices to be used by the user to access the same account simultaneously. The authentication transfer may also enable the transfer of a stronger authentication that may be obtained on a first user device (e.g., biometric indicia) to a second user device that does not have a capability to obtain the stronger authentication. This may provide the second user device with account access that may otherwise not be available to the second user device or to greater access to the account.

Abstract: Systems and Method are provided for transferring authentication from an extended reality (“XR”) device.

The sensor may record a video recording of the user signing the document. The computing device may create a digital file from the video recording and a token indicating the first authentication level and the biometric information. The computing device may embed the token into the digital file. The digital file with the embedded token may be transferred to a second party.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and processes for adaptively optimizing query execution. To improve efficiency and reduce costs of executing queries, machine learning may be utilized to automatically choose or adjust the processing blocks used to execute or process queries based on the nature of the cloud processing outputs and client preferences, among other considerations. A machine learning engine may group queries together into topics based on characteristics of the queries. The machine learning engine may receive execution statistics for the topics and, using the execution statistics, identify which topics enhance or optimize query execution. The machine learning engine may determine which topics may be executed by which processing blocks, at which times of day, and on which platforms, among other considerations in order to enhance or optimize cost or processing efficiency according to client-specified parameters.

Abstract: A system and method for using gaming as a tool to determine optimum routes through areas that have experienced a disaster are provided. Due to the disaster, an area may have some destroyed roads and other infrastructure.
