Abstract
A privacy stamp for preventing the automatic display of private data items stored in a memory of a mobile telecommunications apparatus. The telecommunications apparatus is provided with user operable means to selectively associate a privacy stamp with the stored data items such that a processor prevents the data items associated with the privacy stamp from being automatically displayed on a user interface.
Claims12
An apparatus comprising:
- a user interface comprising at least a first display device and a second display device;
- a processor;
- a memory configured to store user defined data items;
- wherein the processor is configured to associate a privacy stamp selectively with the stored data items in response to one or more user selections;
- wherein the processor is configured to feed the stored data items to the user interface in response to a triggering event;
- wherein the processor is further configured, upon detection of a triggering event, to examine the stored data items associated with the triggering event to determine if they are associated with a privacy stamp;
- wherein the processor is further configured, if the stored data items are associated with a privacy stamp, to cause at least one display device to present a notification of the triggering event and to cause at least one display device to prevent automatic display of at least some of the stored data items in response to a triggering event and, upon an explicit user selection made after the notification of the triggering event, to cause display of at least some of the data items whose display was so prevented;
- and
- wherein the processor is further configured to, if the triggering event is an incoming call, cause the apparatus to answer the incoming call only in response to an explicit user selection indicating a choice to answer the incoming call if the data items associated with the incoming call are associated with a privacy stamp.
6 more elements
A method comprising:
- selectively associating a privacy stamp with one or more of a plurality of user defined data items stored in a memory;
- in response to a triggering event, feeding at least one of the data items to a user interface for display using one of at least a first display device and a second display device and causing at least one display device to present a notification of the triggering event and;
- controlling the user interface so as to prevent display of at least one of the data items on at least one of the displays, if the at least one of the data items is associated with a privacy stamp, except upon an explicit user selection by user operable means in order to allow display of the at least one of the data items, wherein the explicit user selection is received after presentation of the notification of the triggering event;
- and
- if the triggering event is an incoming call, answering the incoming call only in response to an explicit user selection indicating a choice to answer the incoming call if the data items associated with the incoming call are associated with a privacy stamp.
2 more elements
A computer readable memory storing a program of instructions execution of which by a processor causes an apparatus to perform the actions of:
- selectively associating a privacy stamp with at least one of a plurality of user defined data items stored in a memory;
- in response to a triggering event, feeding at least one of the data items to a user interface for display, wherein the user interface comprises at least a first display device and a second display device and causing at least one display device to present a notification of the triggering event and;
- controlling the user interface so as to the user interface to prevent display of the data item associated with the triggering event by at least one of the first display device and the second display device except upon an explicit selection by a user, wherein the explicit selection is received after presentation of the notification of the triggering event if the data item is associated with a privacy stamp;
- and
- if the triggering event is an incoming call, answering the incoming call only in response to an explicit user selection indicating a choice to answer the incoming call if the data items associated with the incoming call are associated with a privacy stamp.
