Abstract: A user input that includes a final destination and one or more user criteria is received. One or more available paths that satisfy the one or more user criteria are determined by utilizing mapping data. The one or more available paths are displayed within an electronic device. A user selection of a desired path of the one or more available paths is displayed. The user-selected desired path is displayed within a user interface. Traffic data and user data are monitored. A routing event is detected based on monitoring the traffic data and the user data. One or more new paths that satisfy the criteria are generated, based on the monitored traffic data and user data. A user is prompted to select one of the one or more generated new paths. A user selection of at least one of the one or more generated new paths is received.

Abstract: Techniques for automatic mobile device usage restriction are described herein. An aspect includes monitoring user data of a user of a mobile device from a plurality of data sources in the mobile device. Another aspect includes learning normal behavior of the user based on the monitoring. Another aspect includes identifying outlier behavior by the user that deviates from the normal behavior based on the monitoring. Another aspect includes determining a restriction state based on the outlier behavior. Yet another aspect includes restricting access to at least one functionality of the mobile device based on the restriction state.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for controlling a mobile device based on fingerprint identification are provided. Aspects includes detecting an input from a user via an input device of the mobile device, the input including a touch by at least two fingers of a plurality of fingers of a user and determining an operation state of the mobile device at a time of the detected input. Aspects also include identifying the at least two fingers used to apply the input by the user based on stored fingerprint data that differentiates between individual fingers of the user and identifying a command based on the operational state and based on the identified at least two fingers, the command identified from a plurality of different commands based on which of the individual fingers is identified. Aspects further include performing an action associated with the identified command.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for determining and providing an availability status of an individual in an open working environment are provided. Aspects include obtaining historical usage data, communication data, calendar data, and statuses set data from selected network-connected devices used by the individual, and calculating a current availability status for the individual based on the historical usage data, the communication data, calendar data, and the statuses set data. Aspects also include calculating a predicted future availability status for the individual based on the historical usage data, the communication data, calendar data, and the statuses set data, and visibly displaying proximate the individual's workspace the current availability status and the predicted future availability status to others in the open working environment.
