Abstract: A wireless connection may be established between a first computing device and a second computing device. A first media content may be displayed by the first computing device. The wireless connection may be determined to include a signal strength. The signal strength may be determined to be below a signal strength. In response to the determining that the wireless connection includes a signal strength and determining that the signal strength is below a threshold, a first bookmark may be generated. The first bookmark may reference a location within the first media content.

Abstract: An approach is provided to identify permanence data corresponding to terms included in a corpus of a question answering (QA) system. Based on the identified permanence, a time-based confidence of each of the terms is established. Terms are identified as a plurality of candidate answers to a question posed to the QA system. Each of the plurality of candidate answers are scored with the scoring being at least partially based on the time-based confidence established for each of the terms.

Abstract: In an approach for controlling a computing device without mechanical buttons the computer detects an interaction with a touch capacitive sensing surface on a computing device. The computer determines that the detected interaction includes at least three interactions including at least two different touch capacitive sensing surfaces. The computer determines a virtual control button to display based on the detected interaction. The computer displays the determined virtual control button to the user. The computer receives an interaction with the displayed virtual control button. The computer implements an action associated with the determined virtual control button based on the received interaction.

Abstract: Mechanisms for evaluating an evidential statement in a corpus of evidence are provided. An evidential statement is received for determining a level of confidence in a hypothetical ontological link of an ontology. A source of the evidential statement is identified and a grading of the source of the evidential statement is determined based on a source grading measurement value indicative of a degree of reliability and credibility of the source. An indication of trustworthiness of the evidential statement is generated based on the source grading measurement value. A representation of the indication of trustworthiness of the evidential statement is output in association with the evidential statement.

Abstract: A method and associated computer program product for providing targeted digital advertisements to a user. The method includes receiving a detected electromagnetic noise signal of one or more objects, comparing the detected electromagnetic noise signal to one or more stored electromagnetic noise signals associated with one or more objects, and determining an identity of the one or more objects based on the comparison between the detected electromagnetic noise signal the stored electromagnetic noise signals. The method further includes providing targeted digital advertisement(s) to the user based on the determined identity of the one or more objects.

Abstract: A first cellular client determines its geographic location from a second cellular client. As part of this determination, the first cellular client disables its cellular functionality. The first cellular client receives a first identifier from the second cellular client by way of a non-cellular connection. The first identifier is related to a first antenna of a cellular service-provider. The first cellular client tracks its location based on the first identifier.

Abstract: A computerized, on-road, vehicle service handling system involves, a motor vehicle having therewithin a global positioning system (GPS) navigation system, an on-board diagnostic (OBD) system, a display within the vehicle, non-transitory storage having stored therein payment information, and at least one processor. While a user is driving a vehicle between first and second locations, upon receiving a fault condition signal from the OBD system, the processor will; automatically identify, and transmit information, to multiple vehicle service locations within a limited distance radius of the path towards the second location, receive service responses, receive a selection by the user of at least two of the vehicle service locations and an order of preference thereof; send a service request with payment information to the first selected vehicle service location; and receive a communication from the first vehicle service location either accepting or rejecting the request.

Abstract: In an approach to predicting user touch events, one or more computer processors receive a detected electromagnetic noise signal of an object. The one or more computer processors compare the detected electromagnetic noise signal of the object to one or more stored electromagnetic noise signals associated with one or more objects. Based, at least in part, on the comparison, the one or more computer processors determine the identity of the object. Responsive to determining the identity of the object, the one or more computer processors store metadata associated with at least one of the objects and an electromagnetic noise signal detection event. The one or more computer processors determine whether an amount of the metadata associated with the object meets a learning threshold. If the amount of metadata meets the learning threshold, the one or more computer processors predict a subsequent electromagnetic noise signal detection event associated with the object.

Abstract: A system, method, computer program product and computer program for evaluating links between objects are provided. A receive ontology component receives an ontology and an identify component identifies, from the ontology, semantic feature types within the ontology that can be used to measure the links between the objects. A data receive component receives instance information and maps the instance information into an ontological form of the instance information. An analyze component analyzes the ontological form to generate an ontological mapping of the instance information. A match component analyzes the mapping to identify matches with semantic patterns. A strength component analyzes the associated semantic features associated with the objects of the matches to determine weightings for the links of the matches. An alert component provides the links and associated weightings.
