Abstract: A uniform resource identifier (URI) shortening service, such as a URL shortening service, creates the shortened URI along with “synopsis” data relating to the human understandable content of the resource, such as the text and images in a typical web site. Later, when users use the shortened URI to retrieve the resource, if the synopsis data for the resource has changed too much relative to the synopsis data as created at the earlier time of the URI shortening, then the requesting users are given some type of notification or warning that the content of the resource has changed. This can save the end users from wasting time retrieving and reviewing a resource that is no longer of interest due to the changes in the content.

Abstract: In an approach for providing navigational assistance to a target location in a vehicle parking facility, a processor accesses stored vehicle registration numbers each mapped to a location of a vehicle in a parking facility in a database. A processor associates a user with a target vehicle registration number. A processor receives input of a reference vehicle registration number from a mobile user device at a current location of the user using an input component of the mobile user device and references the database of vehicle registration numbers. A processor identifies a current location in the parking facility by look up of the reference registration number; identifies a user's target location in the parking facility by look up of the target registration number associated with the user; and generates dynamic navigational instructions from the current location to the user's target location for sending to the mobile user device.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for performing a computer-implemented processing of slide presentation videos to automatically generate index locations corresponding to particular slides within a slide presentation video. In embodiments, a slide presentation video is uploaded to a video processing system. The video processing system performs an image analysis to identify each slide within the slide presentation and determine a time window for each occurrence of each slide. An audio analysis is performed to adjust the time window to the start of a sentence that precedes the introduction of the slide. A user interface includes one or more selectable links associated with each slide that link to a corresponding location within the slide presentation video. Similarly, a processed slide presentation video includes selectable links to index to the corresponding slide of the presentation.

Abstract: Method and system are provided for providing user workflow assistance in a web browser session. The method includes: receiving from a user a declaration of a root activity in the web browser as the root of a workflow and extracting some content from a web page of the root activity; and monitoring a user activity in the web browser session and determining that a new activity in the web browser is activated by a user. The method includes: determining a correlation of the new activity with the root activity by extracting some content from the web page of the new activity and comparing it to the content of the root activity; and, if the correlation is above a threshold, saving the activity in the workflow to build a series of ordered activities.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for ticket validation. The method includes one or more processors receiving ticket identification information corresponding to a transportation ticket and vehicle identification information corresponding to a transportation vehicle, wherein the transportation vehicle is associated with a transportation route. The method further includes retrieving a first data entry corresponding to the received ticket identification information. The method further includes retrieving a second data entry corresponding to the received vehicle identification information. The method further includes determining whether the transportation ticket is valid for travel along the transportation route associated with the transportation vehicle based on the retrieved first data entry and the retrieved second data entry.
