Abstract

Event driven permissive sharing of information is disclosed. In an aspect, user equipment can include information sharing profiles that can facilitate sharing information with other devices or users, such as sharing location information. The information sharing profiles can include trigger values, such that when a target value transitions the trigger value, a permission value is updated to restrict or allow access to sharable information. As such, event driven permissive sharing of information allows for designation of temporary friend information sharing with user-defined triggers.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
in response to receiving input corresponding to an information sharing profile associated with contact information related to a user identity and a selectable temporal-expiration value related to an updateable time-based permission value, wherein the information sharing profile comprises a first property related to a spatial condition, a second property related to identification of sharable data, and a third property related to a granularity of the sharable data,
designating a first value, related to the spatial condition, for the first property of the information sharing profile based on the input,
designating a second value, related to the identification of the sharable data, for the second property of the information sharing profile based on the input, and
designating a third value, related to the granularity of the sharable data, for the third property of the information sharing profile based on the input;

identifying the sharable data based on the second property;
determining a subset of the sharable data based on the third property;
updating the updateable time-based permission value in response to the first value being determined to have transitioned a trigger value, wherein the updateable time-based permission value is a function of the selectable temporal-expiration condition, the first value, the second value, and the third value, and wherein the selectable temporal-expiration value is adjusted in response to receiving an updated time value associated with the user identity via an interface of a mobility device; and
facilitating access to the subset of sharable data based on the selectable temporal-expiration value being determined to satisfy a condition related to the permission value.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
designating a fourth value, in response to the receiving, related to a fourth property of the information sharing profile based on the input and wherein the facilitating the access to the subset of sharable data is further based on satisfaction of another condition related to the fourth property.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first value is a distance value.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first value is a proximity value.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first value is a location value.

6. The system of claim 2 , wherein the fourth value is a user designated value.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the fourth value is an a user designated verification of relationship value.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second value is associated with identification of location information to share with the user identity.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the contact information is associated with a user interface that facilitates access to the contact information and facilitates editing the contact information.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second value is associated with identification of schedule information to share.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second value is associated with identification of service information to share.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the contact information comprises device information related to devices related to the user identity, and wherein the facilitating the access to the subset of sharable data by the user identity is facilitated via a subset of the devices based on the device information related to the devices.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the contact information is associated with a user interface that facilitates access to the device information related to the devices, facilitates editing of the device information, and facilitates designation of the subset of the devices.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise restricting access to another subset of the sharable data based on a criterion related to a privacy setting, wherein the restricting overrides access to the other subset of sharable data, and wherein access to the other subset of data is blocked.

15. A method, comprising:
accessing, by a system comprising a processor, a sharing profile associated with contact information related to an entity, wherein the sharing profile comprises a selectable temporal value related to time-limited access to sharable data, and wherein the sharing profile comprises a first property related to a spatial condition, a second property related to identification of sharable data, and a third property related to a granularity of the sharable data;
designating, by the system in response to the accessing the sharing profile, a permission value based on a first value of the sharing profile related to a user-selectable spatial condition, a second value of the sharing profile related to identifying sharable data, and a third value of the sharing profile related to designating a granularity of the sharable data, wherein the permission value is updateable and is associated with the time-limited access to the shareable data;
identifying, by the system, the sharable data based on the second value;
determining, by the system, a subset of the sharable data based on the third value;
facilitating, by the system, access to the subset of the sharable data of the entity in response to the selectable temporal value related to the time-limited access to the sharable data being determined to satisfy a temporal condition, and a permission condition related to the permission value being determined to be satisfied;
restricting, by the system, access to the sharable data other than the subset of the sharable data based on the temporal condition and the permission value being determined to be satisfied; and
in response to the first value transitioning a trigger value, updating, by the system, the permission value.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising restricting, by the system, access to the subset of the sharable data in response to the updated permission value.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the facilitating the access to the subset of the sharable data comprises facilitating access to location information.

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the designating the permission value is further based on a fourth value of the sharing profile related to a determined relationship status condition.

19. A mobile device, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving input corresponding to an information sharing profile associated with contact information related to a user identity associated with a device other than the mobile device, wherein the input comprises an updatable time based permission value related to access to sharable information;
in response to the receiving the input, assigning to a first property of the information sharing profile a first value related to a user-selectable spatial condition, based on the input, wherein a target first value that has transitioned a spatial value is associated with the updateable time based permission value related to access to the sharable information;
in response to the receiving the input, assigning to a second property of the information sharing profile a second value related to designation of the sharable information, based on the input, wherein the second property facilitates the designation of the sharable inf
