Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for appropriately distributing items using augmented reality. After receiving a list of detected items to be placed in a container(s), an optimal placement of the detected items in the container(s) is determined. Such an optimal placement may be determined by using the dimensions and a maximum weight of items the container(s) can hold, the dimensions of the detected items, a maximum amount of weight for the container the customer can carry as well as other factors. After determining the optimal placement of the detected items in the container(s), a visual representation of such an optimal placement is displayed on an augmented reality device.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for navigating to a pre-scheduled vehicle. A code is analyzed for a user including location information pertaining to the pre-scheduled vehicle, wherein the location information indicates a destination for the user. A location of the user is determined based on a GPS sensor. The user is directed to traverse a route between the location of the user and a location of the pre-scheduled vehicle. A destination of the pre-scheduled vehicle is verified as being consistent with the destination for the user indicated by the location information of the code.

Abstract: A map-display-based, computer-implemented approach is provided for providing directions to a user to assist the user in reaching a destination. The approach includes, for instance, collecting at a map display user input data, where the user input data includes the user's destination. In addition, the approach includes generating, by a directions generating facility associated with the map display, directions for the user to use in navigating from a current location to the user's destination, and downloading the directions generated by the directions generating facility to a mobile device of the user to assist the user in reaching the desired destination after leaving the map display. The downloading of directions to the user's mobile device may include downloading the directions in at least one of text data format or voice data format.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for ensuring that all users of a group message receive a response to the group message. The content of a detected group message is analyzed to determine if the group message requires a response and, if so, to assess the urgency of the response. If the analyzed group message requires a response, then a determination is made as to whether a response was received by all or a subset of the users of the group message (sender and recipients of the group message) within a threshold amount of time based on the urgency of the response. If the response was only received by a subset of the users of the group message, then the response is broadcasted to the other users of the group message who had not previously received the response if no confidential information is detected in the response.

Abstract: An input from a user is received. The input includes a first content on the Internet to be analyzed. In response to receiving the input, the first content is analyzed. The analysis determines a plurality of topics included in the first content. One or more content related to the first content is determined. The one or more content is determined using an ontology and the plurality of topics. A first node is added to an interest panel. The first node is a link to the one or more determined content. The interest panel is an area displayed on a user interface which includes one or more nodes. An indication from the user selecting the first node is received. In response to receiving the indication, the determined one or more content associated with the first node is received. The interest panel is saved.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for automatically providing a user-sensitive amount of light for a specific task. Responsive to detecting an object being lit by a task-lighting device, a set of lighting conditions associated with lighting the object are identified. A first set of parameters is utilized to adjust an amount of light being emitted by a light emitting device of the task-lighting device lighting the object. Responsive to a user manually adjusting the amount of light thereby forming a current amount of light being emitted by the light emitting device, current lighting condition parameters and the current amount of light being emitted by the tight emitting device are identified. The current lighting condition parameters and the current amount of light are then stored as a second set of parameters. The second set of parameters are then utilized for adjusting the amount of light being emitted when changes to the object occurs.

Abstract: A file-management system of a computer operating system transfers a hierarchical set of files. The system generates a histogram of the files' true filesizes, using a non-parametric kernel-density estimation (KDE) procedure to estimate the width of each histogram bin. The system splits the fileset into subsets and generates a second-level histogram to represent the true-filesize distribution of each subset, using the previously estimated kernel width to initialize another KDE procedure for each second-level histogram. The distributions identified by each second-level histogram are used to organize the file transfer into a series of passes, each of which completely transfers a group of files that together fit into the computer's I/O buffer minimal wasted space. A waypoint is set at the beginning of each pass and if the system is interrupted mid-transfer, no file transferred before the most recent waypoint is lost.

Abstract: Administration and consistency of proximity beacon naming within one or more venues is improved by use of a mobile device to discover ranges of the beacons, and upon discovery, determining a location of a mobile computing device within the venue; receiving at the location by the mobile computing device one or more identifiers from one or more proximity beacons within range of the location; and updating by the mobile device at least one of the one or more identifiers according to a proximity beacon naming policy.

Abstract: Aspects define a capture signal as audio inputs by a user of word content. An input of the capture signal word content is recognized in response to an audio input of the user reciting the capture signal word content into a microphone in communication with the recording device during a recording of a speech presentation by the recording device. A recording portion start time is identified that is prior to a time of the input of the capture signal during the current recording of the audio speech presentation in response to recognizing the input of the capture signal word content from the user. The recording device is driven to capture a portion of the recorded audio speech presentation over a period of time spanning from the recording portion start time to the time of the input of the capture signal word content.
