Abstract: In general, embodiments of the invention provide an approach to proactively adjust timeout settings on a display device based on user activity. Specifically, a system and method are presented to adaptively adjust the inactivity timeout settings on a display device based on the application being used, the content being displayed on the device, and an analysis of the user's history with the application. The present invention calculates an inactivity timeout modifier which is utilized to modify the default operating system timeout value.

Abstract: A first user entering a physical location can be identified. In response, a first user profile information for the user can be accessed. The first user profile information can be compared to user profile information of a plurality of other users who are present at the physical location. Based on the comparing, at least a second user whose user profile information most closely matches the first user profile information can be identified. A notification can be communicated to a client device used by the second user, the notification notifying the second user to initiate interaction with the first user. The client device can be configured to present the notification to the second user.

Abstract: A method and system for improving usage of a security compliance framework is provided. The method includes authenticating a user for: access to the security compliance frame work, access to an authoritative source component of the compliance framework, and access to a data store component of the compliance framework. A functionality status of the security compliance framework and a request associated with contents of the data store are presented to a user via a dashboard interface. In response, the request is triggered and associated results are generated.

Abstract: Devices and methods for accessing data on at least one proximate computing device in an emergency situation are disclosed. A method includes: determining that the emergency situation is occurring; in response to determining that the emergency situation is occurring: determining a location where the emergency situation is occurring and a location of the computing device; and determining the location where the emergency situation is occurring is within a first predetermined distance of the location of the computing device; and in response to determining that the location where the emergency situation is occurring is within the first predetermined distance of the location of the computing device: determining the at least one proximate computing device located within a second predetermined distance of the location of the computing device; and receiving access to at least part of the data on the at least one proximate computing device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include method, systems and computer program products for obtaining a scene from a database. Aspects of the invention include receiving a search request for a scene stored in a database including annotated video content. One or more keywords are extracted from the search request. Extended keywords are generated for each keyword. The extended keywords and keywords are compared to the annotated video content to identify target scenes including target scene annotations. A confidence rating is assigned to each of the target scenes based at least in part on a correlation between the target scene annotations for each of the target scenes and the extended keywords and keywords. And at least one of the target scenes are displayed to the user, wherein the at least one of the target scenes is determined based on the confidence ratings.

Abstract: An approach for integrated development environment (IDE)-based program code library searching and selection in multiple programming languages in a networked computing environment is provided. In a typical embodiment, a search request (e.g., to locate a desired program code library) will be received in an IDE and parsed. The search request generally includes a set of annotations corresponding to at least one of: a primary program code language of the program code library, an alternate program code language of the program code library, or a method pair associated with the program code library. A search of at least one program code library repository will then be conducted based on the set of annotations, and a set of matching results will be generated. The set of matching results may include one or more program code libraries, and may be provided to a device hosting the IDE.
