Abstract
In a server configured to operate on a network, secured access to shared digital content may be implemented in response to a request from a first user to access one or more content items belonging to a second user. Information about the first and second users is analyzed with a machine learning algorithm to determine a relationship between the first user and the second user. The first user is granted or denied access to the one or more content items based on the determined relationship.
Claims24
In a server configured to operate on a network, a method for secured access to shared digital content, the method comprising:
- in response to a request from a first user to access one or more content items belonging to a second user,
- analyzing information about the first and second users with a machine learning algorithm to determine a relationship between the first user and the second user;
- and
- granting or denying the first user access to the one or more content items belonging to the second user based on the determined relationship.
An apparatus for secured access to shared digital content, comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor coupled to the memory;
- computer readable instructions embodied in the memory and executable by the processor that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to implement a method, the method comprising,
- in response to a request from a first user to access one or more content items belonging to a second user,
- analyzing information about the first and second users with a machine learning algorithm to determine a relationship between the first user and the second user, and
- granting or denying the first user access to the one or more content items belonging to the second user based on the determined relationship.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable instructions embodied therein, the computer readable instructions being executable by a processor and configured such that, when executed by the processor, execution of the instructions causes the processor to implement a method, the method comprising,
- in response to a request from a first user to access one or more content items belonging to a second user,
- analyzing information about the first and second users with a machine learning algorithm to determine a relationship between the first user and the second user, and
- granting or denying the first user access to the one or more content items belonging to the second user based on the determined relationship.
