Transforming Sensor Data Streamed to Applications

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by at least one computing device to cause the at least one computing device to perform steps of:

• obtaining sensor data from at least one user device, the sensor data being indicative of activity of a user of the at least one user device;
• detecting, for a first time period, one or more activities of the user of the at least one user device utilizing the obtained sensor data;
• generating at least one transformation key;
• associating the at least one transformation key with the first time period;
• transforming the sensor data obtained during the first time period utilizing the at least one transformation key;
• streaming the transformed sensor data to a plurality of applications;
• determining, for a given one of the plurality of applications, whether permitted activities for the given application match the detected one or more activities of the user of the at least one user device during the first time period;
• and
• providing the at least one transformation key for the first time period to the given application responsive to determining that the permitted activities for the given application match the detected one or more activities of the user the at least one user device during the first time period.

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured for:
• obtaining sensor data from at least one user device, the sensor data being indicative of activity of a user of the at least one user device;
• detecting, for a first time period, one or more activities of the user of the at least one user device utilizing the obtained sensor data;
• generating at least one transformation key;
• associating the at least one transformation key with the first time period;
• transforming the sensor data obtained during the first time period utilizing the at least one transformation key;
• streaming the transformed sensor data to a plurality of applications;
• determining, for a given one of the plurality of applications, whether permitted activities for the given application match the detected one or more activities of the user of the at least one user device during the first time period;
• and
• providing the at least one transformation key for the first time period to the given application responsive to determining that the permitted activities for the given application match the detected one or more activities of the user the at least one user device during the first time period.

A computer-implemented method, comprising steps of:

• identifying one or more applications associated with at least one user device;
• extracting descriptions of the identified one or more applications;
• generating a set of permitted activities for a given one of the identified one or more applications based on the extracted description of the given application, the set of permitted activities comprising activities for which the given application is to be permitted access to sensor data of the user device;
• utilizing the set of permitted activities to determine whether to provide at least one transformation key to the given application during a given time period, the at least one transformation key being utilizable by the given application for obtaining original sensor data from transformed sensor data streamed to the given application during the given time period;
• wherein the steps are carried out by at least one computing device.
