Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing security to access and store data may include transferring first information for display from a token device having a memory to a first computing device at a first time, the token device connected to the first computing device and the first information describing public data stored on the token device. A request to retrieve a root directory of private data may be received, the request specifying a root directory name. In response to receiving the request to retrieve a root directory of private data, the root directory may be requested by establishing a wireless connection between the token device and a server computing device, transferring the root directory name to the server computing device, wherein the root directory name is used as a password to retrieve the root directory, and receiving the root directory from the server computing device by the token device.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a method that includes, by a solution appliance configured to administer resources in response to authorized users selecting tasks presented in a user interface, receiving an indication of a status change for a functional appliance configured to provide at least one of the resources, accessing a resource map that links the resources to the tasks, and indicating the status change for the functional appliance on the user interface based on the resource map.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system performing a method that includes a processor(s) of a local/private computing system (LPCS) receiving, via a public computing system and a communication network, on behalf of a user of the public computer system, a request to use computing resource(s) belonging to the LPCS. The processor(s) determine a set of usage parameters comprising a first usage limitation, with the first usage limitation including a first limitation type and first limitation value, and with the first usage limitation defining a limit on usage of the computing resource(s) on behalf of the user. The processor(s) receives, via the public computing system and the communication network, a workload of the user. The processor(s) processes the workload, which includes the processor limiting, by machine logic, usage of the resources(s), on behalf of the user, in accordance with the usage parameters.

Abstract: Content being presented to an audience can be automatically monitored in real time. The content can include a plurality of content portions. Responsive to identifying presentation of the content advancing from a first portion of the content to a second portion of the content, whether at least one element of the second portion of the content is assigned a tag can be automatically determined. Responsive to determining that the at least one element of the second portion of the content is assigned the tag, a first social media message including the at least one element of the second portion of the content that assigned the tag can be automatically generated in real time. The first social media message can be automatically communicated, in real time, to at least one social media system for sharing with people.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide approaches for interacting with data fields on a page using an augmented reality (AR) device. Specifically, a way for a user to interact with a page having preprinted content and a user's handwritten content within a real world scene using a display screen of the AR device is provided. An image capture unit of the AR device captures image data representing the page. A processing unit performs a page scan of the captured image data to determine a set of data fields located on the page. Context data for at least one data field within the page is received by the processing unit. Augmented reality content based on the context data is incorporated into the page when viewing the page through the display screen.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to reflect status in a virtual environment. An artist associated with audio content being played by a first user controlling a player avatar is determined. A companion avatar providing a virtual representation of the artist of the audio content is generated. The companion avatar is associated with the player avatar in the virtual environment. The companion avatar is configured to interact with the player avatar, and presence of the companion avatar conveys to one or more other users interacting within the virtual environment that the first user is currently listening to audio content of the artist.

Abstract: In an approach to allocating hypervisor resources for virtual machine deployment, one or more computer processors determine one or more hierarchically grouped computing resources within a hypervisor. The one or more computer processors receive a selection of one or more hierarchically grouped computing resources. The one or more computer processors apply deployment constraints for a workload to the selected one or more hierarchically grouped computing resources. The one or more computer processors determine, based, at least in part, on the deployment constraints for the workload, one or more computing resources from the one or more hierarchically grouped computing resources.

Abstract: A system includes a location tracking services server (LTSS) in communication with a location owner device. A tracking packet is sent from the location owner device to the LTSS. The tracking packet includes a unique transaction identifier that uniquely identifies the tracking packet as being associated with a transaction between the location owner and a location consumer. The LTSS sends to the location owner device a link that points to the tracking packet. The location owner device uses the link to send to the LTSS information (e.g., a GPS ID) that uniquely identifies a device associated with a location provider selected to fulfill the transaction. This information is used to update the tracking packet. The LTSS provides access for a temporary period defined by the tracking packet to location data that enables the location consumer device to display the geographical location of the device associated with the selected location provider.

Abstract: A usage allocation of a hardware resource to each of a number of workloads over time is determined using a demand model. The usage allocation of the resource includes a current and past actual usage allocation of the resource, a future projected usage allocation of the resource, and current and past actual usage of the resource. A capacity allocation of the resource is determined using a capacity model. The capacity allocation of the resource includes a current and past capacity and a future projected capacity of the resource. Whether a gap exists between the usage allocation and the capacity allocation is determined using a mapping model. Where the gap exists between the usage allocation of the resource and the capacity allocation of the resource, a user is presented with options determined using the mapping model and selectable by the user to implement a remediation strategy to close the gap.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for promoting and sharing social content for view in a network. An index engine of a network device queries a client device requesting a data connection to the network device for sharable social media content. The index engine receives, in response to the query, the social media content from the client device. The network device indexes the social media content in a data store of the network device. The indexed social media content is transmittable to requesting client devices connected to the network device.

Abstract: A smart display allows a user to build custom layouts of user interface blocks on the smart display independent of the software on the computer creating the user interface. A customization mechanism in the smart display allows a user to select portions of a user interface and move them to different positions on the display. The customization mechanism creates custom layout metadata that defines a screen offset for portions of a user interface moved by the user. The smart display monitors the incoming display data and re-assigns pixel rendering data to the new location in the moved user interface blocks as the data coming from the computer application changes.

Abstract: In an embodiment, in response to a gesture by an administrator, a security palette is created and displayed on a multi-touch screen. In response to a move by the administrator of a first icon to within the security palette, wherein the first icon represents a first object, a same authority that the administrator has to the first object is granted to the security palette. In response to a collaborator touching the security palette, the same authority to the first object is granted to the collaborator.
