Abstract: Aspects relate to improving search results based on a search history. Searches performed by a user are monitored to collect search data. The search data is categorized according to search terms, search sites, and result satisfactions to form the search history. A search request that includes one or more search terms related to at least one of the search terms in the search history is received. The search request is modified to increase a predicted satisfaction level of the user with results of the received search request. The modifying is based on contents of the received search request and the search history. A search is performed based on the modified search request.

Abstract: There are provided a system, a method and a computer program product for controlling one or more media files in a mobile device. The system predicts a future usage of the media files. The system ranks each media file according to a likelihood that the each media file is processed at a time and a location associated with the predicted future usages. The system preemptively downloads the media files to a local data storage device of the mobile device, according to the ranking. There are also provided a system, a method and a computer program product for using one or more networks for a mobile device. The mobile device downloads an amount of data while the mobile device is connected to the first pre-determined wireless network. The mobile device configures certain applications in the mobile device to use the second pre-determined wireless network.

Abstract: Chronologically navigating among time-based entries stored by a physical computing device having a processor configured to execute a time-based application includes displaying, with the computing device, a time-based entry with at least one of a forward control and a backward control; in response to a user selecting the forward control, displaying with the computing device a subsequent time-based entry, the subsequent time-based entry including a shared property with the displayed time-based entry; and in response to the user selecting the backward control, displaying with the computing device a previous time-based entry, the previous time-based entry including a shared property with the displayed time-based entry.

Abstract: A computing system, computer-implemented method, and computer program product are provided for facilitating behavior based notifications concerning multiparty communication threads. According to an implementation, the computer-implemented method may include defining a rules set associated with a user for participation in a multiparty communication thread. The method may also include evaluating a plurality of communications associated with the multiparty communication thread. The method may also include determining when a given communication associated with the multiparty communication thread satisfies one or more of the rules included within the rules set. The method may further include delivering the given communication based upon, at least in part, a determining that the given communication satisfies the one or more rules.

Abstract: Controlling access to a secure resource. Data relating to social media history information, demographic information, and psychometric information regarding a user having access to a secure resource is mined by a computer system. Mined data that indicates a potential security risk that meets a predefined security criteria with respect to the secure resource is identified by the computer system. A security risk level based on the identified data is determined. A level of access to the secure resource by the user computing device is set, based on one or more predetermined threshold values that are met, in response to a determination regarding such. Access is granted to the secure resource in accordance with the set level of access, in response to receiving a request to access the secure resource by the computer system.

Abstract: Providing supplemental authentication of a user based on hand gesture activity of a user with an application of a device after a user has completed a successful authentication challenge to initially access the device. Hand gesture activity of the user with the device is recorded during current use of an application of the device. The recorded hand gesture activity during current use of an application of the device is compared to previous recorded hand gesture activity during use of the same application of the device by an authorized user to provide a supplemental authentication of the user. When the recorded hand gesture activity does not match the previously recorded hand gesture activity during use of the same application, the use of the application on the device is halted and an additional authentication challenge requiring input from the user is presented to the user.

Abstract: A computing system performs file conversion upon format expiration. A computing system evaluates a risk of expiration of a first format associated with a first format object. The computing system determines if the risk of expiration is above a threshold. The computing system identifies in response to determining the risk of expiration is above the threshold, one or more files stored in the first format for conversion. The computing system converts one or more files stored in the first format to a second format. The computing system saves the one or more files in the second format.

Abstract: A method for crowd sourcing tasks may include identifying a group of potential candidates for crowd sourcing. Each candidate of the group of potential candidates may be identified based on the candidate being expected to accept a certain type of task. The certain type of task may be at least a task that is performable within a predetermined range of time. The method may also include receiving a request to perform a particular task from a requester. The method may additionally include determining if the particular task is the certain type of task. The method may further include transmitting an offer for performance of the particular task to at least a subgroup of the group of potential candidates in response to the particular task being the certain type of task.
