Abstract: A computer-implemented method for enhancing navigation systems and maps with security-related information includes receiving, by a computer, a map comprising one or more security areas; and also receiving dynamic information about respective conditions related to each of the one or more security areas and respective security attributes related to each of the one or more security areas. Furthermore, the computer calculates a respective risk value for each of the one or more security areas based on the respective conditions and the respective security attribute of the security area; and transmits to a user device associated with a user, risk-related information based on a current location of the user device and the respective risk values.

Abstract: For a user group to which a first user is assigned, a plurality of configuration settings on client devices used by respective other users in the user group can be identified. A respective homogeneity score can be assigned to each of the identified plurality of configuration settings. For each of the respective configuration settings, at least one configuration setting value can be selected as a candidate configuration setting value based on, at least in part, the homogeneity score assigned to each configuration setting. The candidate configuration setting value for each confirmation setting can be communicated to a client device used by the first user, wherein the client device sets at least one of the configuration settings with a respective candidate configuration setting value.

Abstract: A system enhances safety of a dependent person, if a caregiver inadvertently leaves the person unattended in a parked vehicle, by sending an escalating alarm sequence to the caregiver and/or other responsive parties. The system learns, via monitoring, a series of patterns associated with movements of a set of related mobile devices. The system continues to monitor, on an ongoing basis, the devices, and continually compares the current status of each one with its expected status based on the learned patterns. If the system detects a deviation between the current and expected status with respect to one or more of the devices, it computes an alarm level and a false positive score. If the combination of the alarm level and the false positive score is above a threshold value, the system initiates the alarm sequence. Note: a child should never be left unattended in a parked vehicle.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for detecting and managing a vehicle violation by utilizing a plurality of feedback is provided. Embodiments of the present invention may include detecting a violation by a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a vehicle device, wherein nearby vehicles are notified of the violation by emitting an alarm. Additional embodiments of the present invention may include detecting a violation by a violating vehicle by utilizing sensors. Additional embodiments of the present invention may then include detecting a witness and recording feedback received by a witness. Additional embodiments of the present invention may further include evaluating the recorded feedback and gathered information on the violation and determining a sufficiency of the feedback and gathered information to verify whether the detected violation is valid.

Abstract: A method for generating a rating of entertainment content is provided. The method includes receiving data from a monitoring device associated with a spectator, the monitoring device communicatively coupled to the computing system, wherein the data obtained by the monitoring device includes a physical expression of the spectator viewing the entertainment content, analyzing the physical expression of the spectator to obtain (i) an eyesight direction of the spectator, and (ii) a facial expression of the spectator, during a scene of the entertainment content, determining an emotional reaction of the spectator to the scene of the entertainment content based on the analyzing of the physical expression of the spectator, calculating an emotional ranking of the scene of the entertainment content based on the emotional reaction of the spectator to the scene, and providing the overall ranking of the entertainment content in view of an aggregate of emotional reactions of the spectator.

Abstract: A method, computer program product and computer system is provided. A processor retrieves a plurality of pressure readings from a matrix of pressure sensors. A processor identifies a movement within the matrix of pressure sensors based, at least in part, on the plurality of pressure readings. In response to a determination that the movement is characteristic of a movement assisting device, a processor enables a voice recognition system for receiving speech commands to operate a device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for indexing a turret of a multi-spindle machine tool. The system includes: a turret designed to rotate about an axis; and a turret drive mechanism. The drive mechanism is designed to index the turret in order to position the turret angularly in a free manner while rotating about said axis, and the drive mechanism is designed to lock the turret in this position.
