Abstract
A set of context profiles containing profile content rules for filtering which content within a set of personal productivity applications (such as e-mail, chat, calendar, and contacts applications) is accessible by a user. Content rules support filtering content by, for example, content originator, and/or subject matter. The context profiles are centrally maintained for control of integrated, non-integrated, and/or independently administered personal productivity applications.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- determining a set of content rules that control accessibility of content in a personal productivity application according to a first context profile;
- applying the set of content rules to a first set of content of a personal productivity application to identify context-specific data;
- and
- displaying, from the personal productivity application, only the context-specific data.
A computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having a set of instructions stored therein which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to filter application content by:
- determining a set of content rules that control accessibility of content in a personal productivity application according to a first context profile;
- applying the set of content rules to a first set of content of a personal productivity application to identify context-specific data;
- and
- displaying, from the personal productivity application, only the context-specific data.
A computer system comprising:
- a processor set;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium;
- wherein:
- the processor set is structured, located, connected, and/or programmed to run program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium;
- and
- the program instructions which, when executed by the processor set, cause the processor set to filter application content by:
- determining a set of content rules that control accessibility of content in a personal productivity application according to a first context profile;
- applying the set of content rules to a first set of content of a personal productivity application to identify context-specific data;
- and
- displaying, from the personal productivity application, only the context-specific data.
