Abstract
A system and method is provided for using information broadcast by devices and resources in the immediate vicinity of a mobile device, or by sensors located within the mobile device itself, to ascertain and make a determination of the immediate environment and state of the mobile device. This determination may be used to control and manage the actions that the device is asked to carry out by or on behalf of the user.
Claims30
A method for controlling access to a functionality of a user device, the method comprising:
- receiving a capabilities list (CL) from one or more external resources available to and in proximity with the user device, each CL specifying one or more attributes of the respective external resource from which it is received;
- storing each of the received CLs in a resource registry associated with the user device;
- dynamically updating the resource registry with one or more updated CLs;
- determining an environment map for the user device, the environment map comprising (i) resource environment information obtained from the resource registry and (ii) physical environment information obtained from one or more sensors;
- matching access policies of the user device with the environment map to dynamically assign a profile to the user device;
- and
- controlling access to the functionality of the user device based on the profile assigned to the user device,
- wherein the one or more external resources include an external resource connected to the user device via a wireless network and configured to deliver content to a user of the user device.

A user device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, that when executed on the processor, perform the steps of:
- receiving a capabilities list (CL) from one or more external resources available to and in proximity with the user device, each CL specifying one or more attributes of the respective external resource from which it is received;
- storing each of the received CLs in a resource registry associated with the user device;
- dynamically updating the resource registry with one or more updated CLs;
- determining an environment map for the user device, the environment map comprising (i) resource environment information obtained from the resource registry and (ii) physical environment information obtained from one or more sensors;
- matching access policies of the user device with the environment map to dynamically assign a profile to the user device;
- and
- controlling access to the functionality of the user device based on the profile assigned to the user device,
- wherein the one or more external resources include an external resource connected to the user device via a wireless network and configured to deliver content to a user of the user device.
