摘要： Systems and methods are provided for controlling the use of electronic systems based upon monitored physical activity. The method can be implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions. The program instructions are operable to: provision rules associated with a user and at least one of health metrics and physical activity of the user; monitor the at least one health metrics and physical activity of the user over a predetermined time; and manage access to any of a plurality of electronic systems based on the monitored at least one health metrics and physical activity being in compliance or non-compliance with the provisioned rules.

摘要： In a method for authenticating a current user of a near field communication (NFC) device, a profile for an authorized user of the NFC device is established based on data received from one or more sensors of the NFC device over a first period of time. Responsive to a request for a payment transaction, a profile for the current user of the NFC device is established based on data received from the one or more sensors over a second period of time after the first period of time. The profile for the current user is compared with the profile for the authorized user. A determination is made as to whether one or more values in the profile for the current user are within a range of one or more values in the profile for the authorized user at a confidence level.

摘要： A mechanism for determining an optimal compression technique for each data file when creating a computer archive file from a set of data files. A local archiving application receives an instruction to archive a set of data files and determines the file type and size of a data file in the set of data files. An optimal compression method for the data file is selected based on the file type and size of the data file. The archiving application compresses the data file using the optimal compression method. The archiving application updates meta data associated with the compressed file to include a meta compression format identifier of the optimal compression method used to compress the data file. The archiving application then repeats the determining, selecting, compressing, and updating for each data file in the set of data files to create an archive of the set of data files.

摘要： An addressable device receives a user-characterized rewind description. The addressable device stores the user-characterized rewind description. The addressable device renders an at least one media file to include a resume point of the at least one media file. The addressable device receives a command to preferentially rewind. The addressable device, responsive to receiving the command to preferentially rewind, re-renders the at least one media file to the user-characterized rewind description such that the display shows the at least one media file at a replay point of the media file at least the user-characterized rewind description prior to the resume point.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for broker facilitated, publisher peer-to-peer (P2P) collaboration in a publish-subscription (pub/sub) environment. Specifically, in a typical embodiment, a broker system acts as an intermediary between publisher systems and subscriber systems in the pub/sub environment. Along these lines, the broker creates an administrative communication channel between known publisher systems and the broker system. Using this administrative communication channel, the broker system informs individual publisher systems about other publisher systems such that peer-to-peer communication channels between two or more publisher systems can be established. This can be accomplished using the broker system's knowledge of data being published by the individual publisher systems. Regardless, the publisher systems can then use information received from the broker system to: establish a P2P communication channel with one or more other publishers; identify a set of data that has commonality to the peers (and thus has a potential to be cached); and negotiate a caching schema/approach to store the data in a cache. The broker system may generate a set of cache key/unique identifiers and communicate the unique identifiers to at least one of the publisher peers, which will then share the unique identifiers among the peers. The set of data will then be cached (e.g., by a publisher system, a broker system and/or a subscriber system) using the unique identifiers.

摘要翻译： 本发明的实施例提供了一种用于在发布预订（pub / sub）环境中的代理促进的发布者对等（P2P）协作的方法。 具体来说，在典型的实施例中，代理系统充当发布者系统和公共/子环境中的用户系统之间的中介。 沿着这些方式，代理在已知的发行商系统和代理系统之间创建一个管理通信渠道。 使用该管理通信信道，代理系统通知个别发布者系统关于其他发布者系统，使得可以建立两个或多个发布者系统之间的对等通信信道。 这可以使用代理系统对由各个发布者系统发布的数据的知识来实现​​。 无论如何，发布者系统然后可以使用从代理系统接收的信息：与一个或多个其他发布者建立P2P通信通道; 识别与对等体具有共同性（因此有可能被缓存）的一组数据; 并协商缓存模式/方法来将数据存储在缓存中。 代理系统可以生成一组高速缓存密钥/唯一标识符，并将唯一标识符传递给发布者对等体中的至少一个，然后这些发布者对等体将在对等体之间共享唯一的标识符。 然后，该组数据将使用唯一标识符来缓存（例如由发布者系统，代理系统和/或订户系统）。

摘要： A method, program product and system are provided for optimizing recording requests to minimize electricity usage for a network of DVRs. The disclosed methodology analyzes upcoming recording requests against a schedule guide including both local and networked DVRs. Overlaps in requested recordings and broadcasts during same or close proximity time slots are identified. Requested recordings are then rescheduled to optimally overlap recording times based upon the number of tuners in each DVR system. Changes in recording schedules are then communicated to other interconnected DVRs in a network.

摘要： A method and system for controlling access to a resource. Visual representations of the resource and an entity are included in a display. Assignments of an access control requirement to the resource visual representation and an attribute to the entity visual representation are received. A movement in the display of the entity visual representation to a position proximate to a boundary of the resource visual representation is detected. The attribute assigned to the entity visual representation is determined to satisfy the access control requirement assigned to the resource visual representation. The entity is permitted to access the resource based on the attribute satisfying the access control requirement. A movement in the display of the entity visual representation across the boundary and a placement of the entity visual representation within the boundary of the resource visual representation are permitted based on the entity being permitted to access the resource.
