Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes: detecting, by a user device, an event that indicates a potential security compromise of the user device; determining, by the user device, a service accessible on the user device; sending, by the user device, a breach notification to a service provider corresponding to the service accessible on the user device; receiving, by the user device, a security profile from the service provider; and restricting, by the user device, access to the service provider by a client of the service provider on the user device until the security profile is satisfied by a user completing a security challenge defined in the security profile.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for decomposing a decision table includes decomposing, by a computer processor, a decision table into a first sub-table and a second sub-table. The decision table includes two or more columns, and the decomposition is based on a semantic model describing relations among the two or more columns of the decision table. The first sub-table and the second sub-table together represent the decision table.

Abstract: An approach is described for identifying an entity associated with a communication in an online environment. A method pertaining to such approach may include receiving a communication within the online environment. The communication may be received via a communications network. The communication may include a plurality of sequential messages. The method further may include facilitating parsing, via natural language processing, of language in the communication corresponding to an entity and one or more sentiments associated with the entity. The method further may include determining whether the entity is unambiguously identifiable. Upon determining that the entity is not unambiguously identifiable, the method may include identifying the entity based upon Bayesian inference. According to an embodiment, determining whether the entity is unambiguously identifiable may include determining whether the entity is among a plurality of participants in the communication.

Abstract: An approach is provided that creates a co-opetition index. The co-opetition index is created by mining data from online sources that are related to competitor activities associated with a competitor of an organization. The competitor is selected from many competitors of the organization. Possible business actions are automatically identified that correspond to the competitor activities. The set of possible business actions are analyzed using a game theory analysis. The game theory analysis results in an identification of next actions that maximize a payoff to the organization. The co-opetition index is adjusted based on a classification of the next actions on a competitiveness scale. The resulting co-opetition index is then provided to a user of the system.

Abstract: A method according to one embodiment is for transmitting a message. In one embodiment, one or more processor of a messaging system identifies a certain message of the messaging system, the certain message being a blocked message intended for transmission to a certain user of the messaging system. In one embodiment, the one or more processor further determines one or more of a popularity of content of the certain message and a relevance of content of the certain message to the certain user, the certain user being a prospective recipient of a message. In one embodiment, the one or more processor transmits a message to the certain user responsively to a result of the determining of the one or more of a popularity of content of the certain message and a relevance of content of the certain message to the certain user of the messaging system.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide approaches for controlling inadvertent inputs to a mobile device. Specifically, at least one approach includes: detecting an operating mode of a mobile device by determining if a user is currently interacting with the mobile device; detecting an operating environment of the mobile device; receiving an input resulting from a physical gesture to an input area of a mobile device; comparing the input to a past history of inputs received by the mobile device; and determining whether the physical gesture is intended by the user based on the operating mode of the mobile device, the operating environment of the mobile device, and the past history of inputs (e.g., per device application). In one approach, an input controller selects logic to be applied in processing gestures based on a combination of user customization, interaction history, and environment characteristics. The selected logic is applied to subsequent gestures.

Abstract: A method and system for replacing a hardware device is provided. The method includes detecting current utilization attributes of an Internet of things (IOT) device connected to a server device through a network. Recommended utilization attributes of the IOT device are retrieved and analyzed with respect to the current utilization attributes. It is determined that the current utilization attributes do not equal a threshold value associated with the recommended utilization attributes and optimal utilization attributes for replacing the IOT device are determined. A network based search for locating a replacement IOT device is executed and associated results are presented to a user. A resulting process for securing the replacement device is executed.

Abstract: An ambience adjustment method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium, includes configuring an ambient condition of a first device detected in an environment to match an ambient condition of a similar device in a user profile, identifying a change to the ambient condition of the first device configured by the configuring, and updating the user profile with a new ambient condition based on the identified change to the ambient condition.

Abstract: An approach is provided for generating a review of a product. An amount of usage of the product by a user is received from an energy monitoring device. It is determined that the amount of usage of the product exceeds a threshold amount. A message is sent to a computer utilized by the user. The message requests the user to author content that comments on the product. The content is authored by the user in response to the sending of the message and the content is received. A review of the product is generated by combining the content with an indication of the amount of usage of the product by the user.
