Abstract
Centralized management of the Internet of Things resolves user difficulties. Connected devices may be associated with an owner's or user's electronic profile. The electronic profile may be represented as a graphical user interface (such as a webpage), thus allowing remote management of the connected devices. The owner or user may thus configure the electronic profile to define what electronic data is shared and with whom.
Claims20
A server, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- identifying a third party by querying an electronic database that electronically associates third parties to icons including an icon received by the server from a device of a user via the Internet, the server also having received electronic data from the device via the Internet;
- determining that the third party that is identified is permitted access to only a subset of the electronic data without being permitted access to all of the electronic data, the subset of the electronic data being data generated during a user-selected interval of time, the subset of the electronic data excluding first location data indicative of a home location of the user, a work location of the user, or any combination thereof, and the subset of the electronic data including second location data indicative of a travel location of the user that is neither the home location nor the work location;
- and
- in response to the third party that is identified having been determined as being permitted the access to only the subset of the electronic data, sending the subset of the electronic data to equipment of the third party.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a server including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- identifying a third party according to a querying of an electronic database that electronically associates third parties to icons including an icon received by the server from a device of a user via the Internet, the server also having received electronic data from the device via the Internet;
- determining that the third party that is identified is permitted access to only a subset of the electronic data without being permitted access to all of the electronic data, the subset of the electronic data being data generated during a user-selected interval of time, the subset of the electronic data excluding first location data indicative of a home location of the user, a work location of the user, or any combination thereof, and the subset of the electronic data including second location data indicative of a travel location of the user that is neither the home location nor the work location;
- and
- sending the subset of the electronic data to equipment of the third party.

A method, comprising:
- identifying, by a server including a processor, a third party according to a querying of an electronic database that electronically associates third parties to icons including an icon received by the server from a device of a user via the Internet, the server also having received electronic data from the device via the Internet;
- determining, by the server, that the third party that is identified is permitted access to only a subset of the electronic data without being permitted access to all of the electronic data, the subset of the electronic data being data generated during a user-selected interval of time, the subset of the electronic data excluding first location data indicative of a home location of the user, a work location of the user, or any combination thereof, and the subset of the electronic data including second location data indicative of a travel location of the user that is neither the home location nor the work location;
- identifying, by the server, a network address that is associated with the third party;
- and
- in response to the third party that is identified having been determined as being permitted the access to only the subset of the electronic data, sending, by the server, the subset of the electronic data to equipment of the third party according to the network address.
