    Abstract: A tool for detecting potential unintentional user input. Eye tracking technology is used to keep a record of where on a display a user is looking or if the user is even looking at the display. When input, such as a mouse selection or a tap on a touch screen, is received, the location of the selection is compared to a location of the user's gaze around when the selection was made. If the gaze location is outside of an acceptable range from the selection location, it is determined that the selection may have been in error and the selection is disregarded or a confirmation is requested of the user.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an approach for using electronic feeds (e.g., online news feeds, social media resources/websites, etc.) to predict potentially harmful events and take preemptive measures/actions to minimize and/or avoid loss. In a typical embodiment, a set of electronic feeds (e.g., news feeds and/or social networking website feeds) is accessed. A query is then issued against the set of feeds based on a set of search criteria pertaining to a possible event having a potential to adversely affect the networked computing environment. A set of results is received in a computer memory medium of the networked computing environment. It may then be determined whether at least one property of the set of results (e.g., a quantity of ‘hits’) meets one or more predetermined event criteria (e.g., a predetermined threshold).

    Abstract: A computer determines whether current location information of the computer indicates that the computer is at a home location. The computer determines a minimum number of characters to be entered by a user into a userID field to cause the computer to automatically display previously entered userIDs based on whether the computer is located at a home location. If fewer than the minimum characters are entered, previously entered userIDs are not displayed. Location information can be based on one or more of: wi-fi signal strengths, cell tower signal strengths and signal arrival timing information, whether the network connection is wireless or Ethernet cable, the wireless protocol, whether a wi-fi connection is secured or public, whether the computer is a mobile device, and satellite navigation system location.

    Abstract: Ein Werkzeug für das Erkennen einer womöglich unbeabsichtigten Benutzereingabe. Die Blickerfassungstechnologie wird verwendet, um einen Datensatz dazu zu verwalten, an welche Position auf einer Anzeige ein Benutzer blickt oder ob der Benutzer überhaupt auf die Anzeige blickt. Wenn eine Eingabe, z. B. eine Mausauswahl oder ein Tippen auf einen Berührungsbildschirm, empfangen wird, wird die Position der Auswahl mit einer Position des Benutzerblicks zum ungefähren Zeitpunkt der Auswahl verglichen. Wenn die Blickposition außerhalb eines zulässigen Bereichs um die Auswahlposition liegt, wird entschieden, dass die Auswahl womöglich ein Fehler war, und die Auswahl wird ignoriert oder es wird eine Bestätigung von dem Benutzer angefordert.

    Abstract: A tool for detecting potential unintentional user input by verifying a user selection based on the location of the user s gaze and the location of the user selection and combining these input sources to validate the selection. Eye tracking technology is used to keep a record of where on a display a user is looking or if the user is even looking at the display, where the display may be a connected external monitor or an incorporated display screen such as used in tablet computers and smart phones. When input, such as a mouse selection with a cursor or pointer or a tap on a touch screen with a finger is received, the location of the selection is compared to a location of the user's gaze around when the selection was made. If the gaze location is outside of an acceptable range from the selection location, it is determined that the selection may have been in error and the selection is disregarded or a confirmation is requested of the user.
