Patent number: 9677894Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for enacting various driving profiles based on identifying the age and gender of the user. Initially, identifying information is acquired from a user of a vehicle. An identification program determines whether the driver is known, by comparing the identifying information to a set of stored identifying information. If the driver of the vehicle is known, as the identifying information from the user is similar to stored identifying information, then a specific driver profile associated with the specific driver is activated. If the driver is not known, as the identifying information from the user of the vehicle is not similar to the stored identifying information, then the age and gender of the user of the vehicle is determined. Based on the determined age and gender of the driver of the vehicle, various vehicle setting ranges are enacted.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2015Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Eli M. Dow, Thomas D. Fitzsimmons, Tynan J. Garrett, Emily M. Metruck, Charles J. Stocker, IV

Publication number: 20170083102Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for sharing content between devices, where one of the devices is a wearable device. The wearable device is configured to detect a second device, detect movement and send a data file wirelessly to the second device. Initially, a set of movement data and an associated data file is stored in the wearable device. The movement data may be a gesture such as a handshake, a high-five or a fist bump. Once the wearable device receives at least one movement, it determines whether the movement is similar to the set of stored movements. If, the received movement of the wearable device is similar to the stored movements, the wearable device sends the associated data file to the second device. Based on the determined gesture, the wearable device may send different files.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2015Publication date: March 23, 2017Inventors: Eli M. Dow, Thomas D.
