Abstract: A computer system processes electronic communications. A density and centrality of a group of users engaged in electronic communications is determined based on an analysis of a social network graph indicating connections of the users of the group. The electronic communications are analyzed and an affinity of the electronic communications to a constructive goal of a user of the group is determined based on a frequency of electronic communications pertaining to the constructive goal and the determined density and centrality. The electronic communications are modified to advance progress of the constructive goal in response to the affinity satisfying a threshold. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for processing electronic communications in substantially the same manner described above.

Abstract: An object of interest in an augmented reality view within a display of an augmented reality device is identified. A location of the object of interest is determined. A plurality of markers related to the object of interest is received. Metadata information associated with each of the plurality of markers is received. The metadata includes an indication of a location of an author of the marker at a time of authorship of the marker.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for mitigating disorientation of a user transitioning out of a digital reality session. A user login credentials is received. A start digital reality session command is received. User behavior inputs associated with the digital reality session are monitor. In response to analyzing the user behavior inputs, a behavior risk rating associated with the user behavior inputs is generated. An ending event to the digital reality session is detected. A leakage length value based on the generated behavior risk rating is generated. An expected leakage length value based on the analyzed behavior associated with the user and a user profile associated with the user is determined. A leakage risk value based on the behavior risk rating and leakage length value is assigned. In response to the leakage risk value being above a threshold, the digital reality session is modified.

Abstract: Initiating a communication group of devices using device vibration includes encoding a message into a vibration signal using an encoder in a master device, the message including a connection request. A vibration pattern is emitted using a vibration motor by controlling the vibration motor to vibrate with a pattern corresponding to modulations of the vibration signal to send the message through a medium in contact with the master device. A response vibration pattern is received from responding devices using a sensor, the response vibration pattern carrying a response message. The response vibration pattern is decoded with a decoder of the master device to extract the response message from the response vibration pattern. A communication group is established at a host according to the response message for communication between the master device and the responding devices.

The computing system converts one or more files stored in the first format to a second format. The computing system saves the one or more files in the second format.

Abstract: An alkali-metal vapor cell atomic clock system, including a first atomic vapor cell and a second atomic vapor cell. A digital signal processor outputs a first time sequence to control a first laser signal, and the digital signal processor outputs a second time sequence to control a second laser signal. Thereby, the first atomic vapor cell and the second atomic vapor cell can alternately lock a crystal oscillator. A Dick effect is reduced by alternately locking the crystal oscillator, which enables the alkali-metal vapor cell atomic clock system to have more stable frequency output. Because the crystal oscillator has low costs, the alkali-metal vapor cell atomic clock system has advantages of low costs and high stability.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for facilitating access to a resource represented in an image at a later time. A screen capture of an image displayed on a computing device is implemented. Metadata, including the resource location, resource navigation and positional metadata, regarding the source data of the screen capture image is generated. The generated metadata is then embedded into the screen capture image. The screen capture image with the embedded metadata is then transmitted to a different user. By embedding the metadata into the screen capture image, the user receiving the screen capture image will be able to reproduce the state of the source environment when the image was captured using the embedded metadata thereby opening the resource represented in the image.

Abstract: In an approach to securing data using visual hashing, one or more computer processors receive a user access request for hashed image. The one or more computer processors identify one or more access request parameters for the hashed image. The one or more computer processors determine whether the user access request for the hashed image meets the one or more access request parameters. Responsive to determining that the user access request for the hashed image meets the one or more access request parameters, the one or more computer processors identify one or more user access permissions. The one or more computer processors prepare a modified image of the hashed image corresponding to the identified one or more user access permissions. The one or more computer processors send the modified image of the hashed image corresponding to the one or more user access permissions to a requesting user.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for transitioning between different realities. The distance of the objects from a reference point in the first and second reality environments is determined. For example, the distance of the object's location in the first reality environment from a reference point (e.g., camera system) as well as the distance of the object's location in the second reality environment from the reference point is determined. A determination is made as to whether the likelihood of a transition shock event (e.g., motion sickness) occurring as a user transitions between the first and second reality environments exceeds a threshold value. In response to the likelihood of the transition shock event occurring exceeding the threshold value, the distance of the object from the reference point in the first and/or second reality environments is modified so as to prevent users from experiencing transition shocks when transitioning between realities.
