An embodiment includes receiving, by a processor, an indication that a first device transmitted a file having tracking metadata to a second device. The embodiment also includes receiving, by the processor, an indication of a modification to the file by the second device. The embodiment also includes evaluating, by the processor, the modification to the file using a cognitive process that analyzes the modification as it relates to profile information for a user and generates a significance value associated with the change. The embodiment also includes automatically initiating, by the processor and responsive to the generating of the significance value, a selected responsive action from among a plurality of responsive actions based at least in part on the significance value, where the automatic initiation of the selected responsive action includes automatic transmission of a notification to the first device regarding the modification to the file.

A computer enabled method for locating a misplaced object that includes receiving at an object locating system a request defining an object to be located, the input data request being received audibly by a digital assistant. The method may include analyzing the request with the object locating system by classifying the object to be located with an image search of a corpus of images correlated to comparison objects; and receiving images from Internet of Thing devices (IoT) devices of search objects. The method further includes comparing the images correlated to comparison objects from the image search with images of the search objects to identify retrieval objects that match the object classified by the object locating system that analyzed the request. The location of the retrieval object is then identified.

In an approach, a computer identifies a user attempting to access information that requires authentication approval via a computing device. The computer receives one or more digital images from the computing device. The computer determines a current field of view of the computing device based on the received one or more digital images. The computer determines a current location of the user. The computer determines a current posture of the user. The computer determines whether at least one of the current field of view, the current location, and the current posture during a current attempt to access information matches one or more of a previous field of view of the computing device, a previous location of the user, and a previous posture of the user during a previous attempt to access the information. Based on the determination, the computer performs an action related to the user accessing the information.

Personal electronic devices are organized into a personal electronic device network. One of the personal electronic devices is designated as a device management hub. Based on contextual information from the personal electronic device network, a current activity of a user is predicted, and based on the predicted current user activity and the contextual information, one or more hierarchy is cognitively derived. The device management hub uses one of the hierarchy to contextually assign user input to one of the personal electronic devices for processing. Cognitively predicting the current user activity can include analyzing, by the device management hub, contextual information from the personal electronic devices.
