Resource access

A method comprising:

• at a first time:
• controlling whether or not a user is granted access to at least one resource based on an obtained response of the user to a first access task, and
• setting one or more restrictions on granted access to the at least one resource based on the obtained response of the user to the first access task, at a second time:
• controlling whether or not the user is granted access to the at least one resource based on an obtained response of the user to a second access task, different to the first access task, and
• setting one or more restrictions on granted access to the at least one resource based on the obtained response of the user to the second access task;
• obtaining an expected usage of the at least one resource at the first time and at the second time based on one or more values of the one or more monitored parameters at the first and second time, respectively, which vary with actions of the user, and wherein the one or more monitored parameters comprises one or more of (i) a time of day the user attempts to access the at least one resource, (ii) a physical location of the user when the user attempts to access the at least one resource, or (iii) biometric parameters indicative of one or more of a mood or behavior of the user;
• and
• automatically initiating a change from the first access task to the second access task, wherein the initiation of the change is causally independent of the obtained response of the user to the first access task, wherein the initiation of the change from the first access task to the second access task occurs in response to a change, occurring between the first and second times, in the one or more values of the one or more monitored parameters, and from the first access task to the second access task if the expected usage at the second time is different to the expected usage at the first time.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions stored thereon for performing at least the following:

• at a first time:
• controlling whether or not a user is granted access to at least one resource based on an obtained response of the user to a first access task, and
• setting one or more restrictions on granted access to the at least one resource based on the obtained response of the user to the first access task, at a second time:
• controlling whether or not the user is granted access to the at least one resource based on an obtained response of the user to a second access task, different to the first access task, and
• setting one or more restrictions on granted access to the at least one resource based on the obtained response of the user to the second access task;
• obtaining an expected usage of the at least one resource at the first time and at the second time based on one or more values of the one or more monitored parameters at the first and second time, respectively, which vary with actions of the user, and wherein the one or more monitored parameters comprises one or more of (i) a time of day the user attempts to access the at least one resource, (ii) a physical location of the user when the user attempts to access the at least one resource, or (iii) biometric parameters indicative of one or more of a mood or behavior of the user;
• and
• initiating a change from the first access task to the second access task, wherein the initiation of the change is causally independent of the obtained response of the user to the first access task, wherein the initiation of the change from the first access task to the second access task occurs in response to a change, occurring between the first and second times, in the one or more values of the one or more monitored parameters and from the first access task to the second access task if the expected usage at the second time is different to the expected usage at the first time.
