Abstract

A method, computer program product and computer system are provided to promote device usage compliance. A processor retrieves a current position for a device. A processor determines at least one nearby location based on the current position of the device. A processor retrieves search data regarding the at least one nearby location. A processor determines compliance information regarding the at least one location based, at least in part, on the search data. A processor configures the device based on the compliance information regarding the at least one location.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
retrieving, by one or more processors, a current position for a device;
determining, by the one or more processors, at least one nearby location based on the current position of the device;
retrieving, by the one or more processors, search data regarding the at least one nearby location, wherein the search data includes a user-generated comment regarding the at least one nearby location;
determining, by the one or more processors, compliance information regarding the at least one nearby location based, at least in part, on the search data; and
configuring, by the one or more processors, the device based on the compliance information regarding the at least one nearby location.

2. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:
determining, by the one or more processors, a sentiment expressed by the user-generated comment regarding the at least one nearby location.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the compliance information regarding the at least one nearby location is determined based, at least in part, on the sentiment expressed by the user-generated comment regarding the at least one nearby location.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the search data includes a copyright notice regarding media collected at the at least one nearby location.

5. The method of claim 4 , the method further comprising:
receiving, by the one or more processors, an indication of a user of the device recording media at the at least one nearby location;
storing, by the one or more processors, metadata in regard to the user-recorded media, wherein the metadata indicates the copyright notice;
in response to the user of the device uploading the user-recorded media, identifying, by the one or more processors, the copyright notice; and
in response to the copyright notice including a restriction that is applicable to the user-recorded media, restricting, by the one or more processors, the uploading of the user-recorded media.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compliance information includes a restriction of one or more of the following features of the device: camera recording, flash usage, video recording, image recording, or audio recording.

7. A computer program product comprising:
one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to retrieve a current position for a device;
program instructions to determine at least one nearby location based on the current position of the device;
program instructions to retrieve search data regarding the at least one nearby location, wherein the search data includes a user-generated comment regarding the at least one nearby location;
program instructions to determine compliance information regarding the at least one nearby location based, at least in part, on the search data; and
program instructions to configure the device based on the compliance information regarding the at least one nearby location.

8. The computer program product of claim 7 , the program instructions further comprising:
program instructions to determine a sentiment expressed by the user-generated comment regarding the at least one nearby location.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the compliance information regarding the at least one nearby location is determined based, at least in part, on the sentiment expressed by the user-generated comment regarding the at least one nearby location.

10. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the search data includes a copyright notice regarding media collected at the at least one nearby location.

11. The computer program product of claim 10 , the program instructions further comprising:
program instructions to receive an indication of a user of the device recording media at the at least one nearby location;
program instructions to store metadata in regard to the user-recorded media, wherein the metadata indicates the copyright notice;
in response to the user of the device uploading the user-recorded media, program instructions to identify the copyright notice; and
in response to the copyright notice including a restriction that is applicable to the user-recorded media, program instructions to restrict the uploading of the user-recorded media.

12. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the compliance information includes a restriction of one or more of the following features of the device: camera recording, flash usage, video recording, image recording, or audio recording.

13. A computer system comprising:
one or more computer processors;
one or more computer readable storage media; and
program instructions stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to retrieve a current position for a device;
program instructions to determine at least one nearby location based on the current position of the device;
program instructions to retrieve search data regarding the at least one nearby location, wherein the search data includes a user-generated comment regarding the at least one nearby location;
program instructions to determine compliance information regarding the at least one nearby location based, at least in part, on the search data; and
program instructions to configure the device based on the compliance information regarding the at least one nearby location.

14. The computer system of claim 13 , the program instructions further comprising:
program instructions to determine a sentiment expressed by the user-generated comment regarding the at least one nearby location.

15. The computer system of claim 14 , wherein the compliance information regarding the at least one location is determined based, at least in part, on the sentiment expressed by the user-generated comment regarding the at least one nearby location.

16. The computer system of claim 13 , wherein the search data includes a copyright notice regarding media collected at the at least one nearby location.

17. The computer system of claim 16 , the program instructions further comprising:
program instructions to receive an indication of a user of the device recording media at the at least one nearby location;
program instructions to store metadata in regard to the user-recorded media, wherein the metadata indicates the copyright notice;
in response to the user of the device uploading the user-recorded media, program instructions to identify the copyright notice; and
in response to the copyright notice including a restriction that is applicable to the user-recorded media, program instructions to restrict the uploading of the user-recorded media.
