Abstract: Managing access to a conference call includes obtaining, via a calendar application, a list of participants, the list of participants includes a number of participants to be included in a conference call, identifying, from the list of participants, a first portion of the participants that have personal passcodes, generating guest passcodes for a second portion of the participants associated with the list of participants that do not have the personal passcodes, and permitting, based on the personal passcodes or the guest passcodes, each of the participants to participate in the conference call.

Abstract: An approach for improving mobile device security is provided. The approach configures a passcode for accessing a mobile device, wherein configuring the passcode includes incorporating one or more hardware buttons into the passcode, such that the one or more hardware buttons are relevant when entering the passcode to gain entry to the mobile device. The approach receives a passcode attempt on the mobile device, wherein the passcode attempt includes a combination of one or more touch screen buttons and at least one of the one or more hardware buttons. The approach determines whether the passcode attempt matches the passcode. Responsive to a determination that the passcode attempt does not match the passcode, the approach denies access to the mobile device.

Abstract: A target travel destination is configured with a topic of conversation planned by a user to occur with at least one person at the target travel destination. A selection by the user of the target travel destination is detected within a user interface. Updated information about the topic of conversation configured with the target travel destination is obtained. The updated information about the topic of conversation configured with the target travel destination is provided to the user during the user's travel to the target travel destination.

Abstract: Methods, products, apparatuses, and systems may facilitate a conference operation. The conference operation may include conference chaining, conference switching, conference modification, conference announcement, and so on. A collection of authentication data for a plurality of distinct conferences may be performed to chain the conferences. Switching among the distinct conference may be performed in response to a switch key code. The switch key code may include a general key code applicable to each of the conferences and/or a specific key code application to a specific conference.

Abstract: A method, computing device and computer program product for providing access control of applications on the computing device. The computing device receives a selection of a set of one or more screens from the owner of the mobile device. The computing device further receives a selection of application(s) to be placed in the selected set of screens. The computing device additionally receives a screen passcode to be assigned to the selected set of screens. The computing device then assigns the received screen passcode to the selected set of screens which enables access to the application(s) on the selected set of screens. In this manner, the owner of the computing device can limit other users' access to certain applications on the computing device by segregating the applications on different sets of screens, where each set of screens is assigned a screen passcode which grants access to that set of screens.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer instructions are provided to improve the push/pull workload management model with intelligent routing to effectively collect data from systems that consist of dynamic sub-systems. The invention improves the push/pull model of the referenced invention with intelligent request routing to solve the above problem. An API is exposed in the workload manager enabling its request router to decline requests to route to idle sub-systems. This allows the monitoring agent to avoid sending a pull request to an idle sub-system. Each sub-system will push the data to the agent as it enters the idle state. The agent caches the data it receives from idle sub-systems and combines it with data it pulls from active and stopped sub-systems.

Abstract: Systems and methods for toggling between television channels that appear on a display. A listing of channels is received from a user, with the channels being prioritized in an order of preference. One or more toggle types are also received from the user, with each toggle type further including a toggle trigger. In use, a channel is displayed on the display until a toggle trigger is detected. Once detected, the channel on the display is changed to another channel from the list of channels. This process may continue with the detection of another toggle trigger causing another changing of the displayed channel.
