Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for enacting various driving profiles based on identifying the age and gender of the user. Initially, identifying information is acquired from a user of a vehicle. An identification program determines whether the driver is known, by comparing the identifying information to a set of stored identifying information. If the driver of the vehicle is known, as the identifying information from the user is similar to stored identifying information, then a specific driver profile associated with the specific driver is activated. If the driver is not known, as the identifying information from the user of the vehicle is not similar to the stored identifying information, then the age and gender of the user of the vehicle is determined. Based on the determined age and gender of the driver of the vehicle, various vehicle setting ranges are enacted.

Abstract: In an approach to providing feedback to a user using a wearable computing device, a computer records an activity being performed by a user operating a wearable computing device, and identifies the activity being performed by the user. The computer retrieves performance data corresponding to the activity being performed by the user, and determines, based on the retrieved performance data and the recorded activity being performed by the user, whether the user deviates from the retrieved performance data. Responsive to determining the user deviates from the retrieved performance data, the computer transmits, based on the retrieved performance data, performance feedback to the user.

Abstract: An embodiment of a computer implemented method of displaying textual data includes receiving a request to display textual data and displaying textual data in a region within a display area. Displaying textual data includes sequentially presenting successive components of the textual data at a fixed position relative to the display area. The method also includes monitoring a point of gaze of a user based on biometric information, and based on detecting that the point of gaze is away from the region, automatically stopping the displaying by the processor at a time point corresponding to a current component, and determining a previous component of the textual data displayed at a previous time point. The method further includes, based on detecting that the point of gaze has returned to the region, commencing by the processor the displaying at the previous component and continuing to display successive components of the textual data.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for sharing content between devices, where one of the devices is a wearable device. The wearable device is configured to detect a second device, detect movement and send a data file wirelessly to the second device. Initially, a set of movement data and an associated data file is stored in the wearable device. The movement data may be a gesture such as a handshake, a high-five or a fist bump. Once the wearable device receives at least one movement, it determines whether the movement is similar to the set of stored movements. If, the received movement of the wearable device is similar to the stored movements, the wearable device sends the associated data file to the second device. Based on the determined gesture, the wearable device may send different files.
