Abstract: In an approach for providing a response based on situational context, a computer determines that an individual is within a proximity of a computing device. The computer identifies an identity associated with the determined individual within the proximity of the computing device. The computer determines a location associated with the identified identity. The computer identifies an entry within a table based on at least in part on the identified identity and the determined location. The computer determines a stimulus associated with the identified entry occurs. The computer provides a response based on determining the stimulus associated with the identified entry occurs.

Abstract: Embodiments for implementing an inferred access authentication decision for an application by a processor. A minimum required credential strength of a current authentication process for an application is compared to a previous, successful authentication for the application. The minimum required credential strength of application is inferred to be sufficient to validate the current authentication process upon determining a minimum required credential value (AMRCV) is greater than a predetermined threshold of the previous successful authentication for the application.

Abstract: A method, a computer system, and a computer program product for detecting voice commands. Audio is recorded by the computer system to form a recorded audio. The computer system then determines whether a voice command spoken by a first person is present in the recorded audio. If the voice command is present in the recorded audio, the computer system determines whether the voice command is directed to a second person by the first person. If the voice command is not being directed to the second person, the computer system processes the voice command, wherein processing of the voice command occurs without a wake word.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for providing an in-vehicle display of information for an object of interest. Sound data is received from a sound sensor system connected to the vehicle. The sound data is for sounds detected in an exterior environment around the vehicle. The sound data is analyzed for a presence of an object of interest. The location of the object of interest is determined using the sound data in response to detecting the presence of the object of interest. A visual indicator for the object of interest is displayed using an electronic display system in the vehicle to augment a live view of the exterior environment seen through a window of the vehicle for the in-vehicle display of the information for the object of interest to draw attention to the object of interest in the live view.

Abstract: A data server receives multiple requests for data cubes that include data related to a user-specified subject matter. The requests are aggregated into an aggregated request, and an initial data cube is retrieved based on the aggregated request. Upon determining that the initial data cube fails to provide requisite data needed by the aggregated request due to data being missing from the initial data cube, the missing data is located and identified as augmentation data. The initial data cube and the augmentation data are sent to senders of the multiple requests for data cubes. Instructions are transmitted to install the initial data cube and the one or more of the sets of data into an electronic device that has been predetermined to be related to the user-specified subject-matter, the installation improves a functioning of the electronic device by modifying an operation of the electronic device.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides for multiple service classes within a controllable transit system (e.g., a PRT system), by route allocation according to service class priority. Routes are optimized for vehicles needing or entitled to the highest service level, then remaining capacity is used to optimize routes for the next lower service class. Such optimization can be extended indefinitely, through “N” service classes of service. In addition, an embodiment of the invention allows the cataloging of PRT capacity and vehicle types/roles/emissions, as well as related business models. The system provided hereunder provides a means of ensuring that various service classes of system users can be given treatment according to the service class in which they reside. Such prioritization leads to a more flexible system, with higher user satisfaction and a greater number of available business models (e.g., “pay for service class”) permissible within the transit system.
