Publication number: 20210004246Abstract: A method, computer program product, and a system where a processor(s) monitors tasks performed within the shared computing environment by an authorized user via an interface(s) of a computing system. The processor(s) determines that the authorized user is initiating a given task and queries a repository to determine if the repository comprises a runbook comprising guidance relevant to the given task. The processor(s) determines that the repository does not comprise the runbook and automatically initiates a device(s) to capture and cognitively analyze activities performed by the authorized user to complete the given task (e.g., an audio capture device and a screen recorder). The processor(s) determine that the authorized user has completed the given task and stop the capturing and generate the runbook from the captured activities.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2019Publication date: January 7, 2021Inventors: Lorin Ullmann, Denise Bell, Eric E.

Patent number: 10452832Abstract: When visual focus on a mobile device is limited, aural cues can be used to aid in entering a pattern based access code. The mobile device displays a plurality of positions from which an access code for accessing a mobile device can be selected. Indications of a set of positions of the plurality of positions in a sequence are received. The sequence of the set of the positions form an access code. For at least the first of the set of positions, an aural cue associated with the first position is determined, and the aural cue is emitted to indicate the first position based on the aural cue. It is determined whether the access code is correct. Access to the mobile device is allowed if the access code is correct.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Denise A.
