Abstract: Provided are techniques for authenticating a device. Accepted communication patterns representing accepted modes of communication between devices in an internet of things network are stored. In response to receiving a new communication from a requesting device of the devices, it is determined whether the new communication matches at least one of the accepted communication patterns. In response to determining that the new communication matches, there is a response to the new communication. In response to determining that the new communication does not match, flagging the new communication as an anomaly and determining how to process the new communication based on the flagging.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method validates information indicating ownership of an asset by a first user. Information of parties of interest regarding use of the asset are received. The information associated respectively with the asset, the ownership, and the parties of interest are stored in a transaction repository structure. The identity information of a second user selected by the first user to receive temporal authorization of use of the asset is validated. Responsive to validating of the second user's identity a temporal authorization transaction of the use of the asset by the second user is generated. Responsive to confirming the parties of interest regarding the use of the asset, a notification of the temporal authorization transaction is sent to the parties of interest, and the information associated with the transaction of the temporal authorization of use of the asset by the second user is stored in a transaction repository structure.

Abstract: A user may be aided in modifying a product that is an assemblage of parts. This aid may involve a processor obtaining images of a target part captured by the user on a mobile device camera.

Based on the comparison, the processor may determine an identity of the target part. This aid may also involve a processor obtaining images of a first configuration of a partial assembly of the product captured by a mobile device camera. The processor may compare, based on the captured images, the first configuration to a correct configuration of the partial assembly. Based on the comparison, the processor may determine that the first configuration does not match the correct configuration and may notify the user accordingly.

Based on the monitored health data, occurrence of a water retention triggering event associated with a provided medical recommendation is determined. When the water retention triggering event is determined to have occurred, the medical recommendation is provided to the entity.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for facilitating an interaction between a first and second entity. The method includes instructing, by a cognitive recommendation engine, a communication aspect of the interaction between the first entity and the second entity. The instructing includes obtaining, by the cognitive recommendation engine, interaction preference data of the first entity related to the communication aspect of the interaction, and based on the interaction preference data, determining by the cognitive recommendation engine, an instruction recommendation. The instruction recommendation facilitates, from the first entity's view, the interaction between the first and second entities. Further, the instructing includes providing by the cognitive recommendation engine the instruction recommendation to the second entity for use by the second entity during the interaction with the first entity.

Abstract: An approach is provided for detecting a malicious activity on a computer system. First process trees are identified for computer processes that have been executed on a computer system. Each of the first process trees are vectorized. The vectorized first process trees are associated with respective labels. Each label represents an amount by which a respective vectorized process tree reflects the malicious activity. An artificial neural network is trained by using the vectorized first process trees and the associated labels as training input. After the training of the artificial neural network is completed, second process trees for currently executing computer processes are vectorized and provided as input vectors to the artificial neural network. Responsive to the artificial neural network providing an output indicating that a combination of the input vectors indicates the malicious activity, a remedial action is performed.

Abstract: Monitoring medicine dispensing is disclosed. A set of events from an intelligent container is received. The intelligent container belongs to a set of intelligent containers, each container associated with a medicine. It is determined whether the set of events satisfies a rule associated with the intelligent container. If the rule is satisfied, a message is created to be sent to a subscribing device as a result of the determination.

Abstract: Universal serial bus (USB) devices are evaluated for access according to characteristics including descriptors and ROM information. Descriptors are cross-references to historic descriptors known to be associated with malicious or approved USB devices. ROM information is analyzed to determine congruity of data. Device drivers and configuration files on the USB device are reviewed for indicators of compromise or threat and assigned a corresponding security score. Security actions are taken according to a security score assigned according to matching descriptors and analyzed ROM information.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to augmented reality (AR) safety enhancement. In embodiments, an eye-gaze time indicating a period in which a user using an AR application is viewing a screen of a mobile device running the AR application can be determined. The eye-gaze time can then be compared to an eye-gaze threshold. In response to a determination that the eye-gaze time exceeds the eye-gaze threshold, an alert can be issued to the mobile device running the AR application. In embodiments, a set of proximity data can be received. The set of proximity data can be analyzed to determine a number of nearby devices. A determination can be made whether the number of nearby devices exceeds a safety threshold. When a determination is made that the number of nearby devices exceeds the safety threshold, an alert can be issued to a device having a running AR application.
