  • Patent number: 11182493
    Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing privacy for information. In one non-limiting embodiment, a system includes an environment monitoring component configured to monitor an aspect of an environment; and a privacy component configured to: determine whether factors associated with the environment are triggered; and obscure access or provide access to data or a program associated with the factors based on determining that the factors are triggered. Factors can be based on the time and the location or network connectivity of a device associated with the system, the detected presence or absence of an authorized person other than the user logged into the device or the privacy state of the user logged into the device. Motion detectors, cameras, biometric sensors and other devices can be employed in the determination of whether to provide or obscure access to the information.

  • Publication number: 20130339849
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed herein that relate to customizing a presentation of digital content to a user based upon a representation of a personality type of the user. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a computing system configured to receive digital content for presentation to a user, and to compare one or more personality type labels associated with the digital content to a personality type indicator of the user. The computing system is further configured to customize presentation of the digital content based on a result of comparing the personality type indicator of the user with the one or more personality type labels. Embodiments are also disclosed that relate to detecting an emotional state of a user during a user input of digital content, and associating a representation of the detected emotional state with the digital content.
