  • Contextually aware sharing recommendations
    Patent number: 9979732
    Abstract: A profile is configured with permissions that may be shared with other profiles. Contextual data defining user activity, preferences, and/or other contextual information is obtained and analyzed to identify a profile that may utilize shared permissions. In some configurations, the contextual data may also utilized to determine if a set of permissions of a first user profile is to be shared with a second user profile. Based on the contextual data, a recommendation may be issued to enable the second user profile to utilize permissions shared by the first user profile. Modifications may be made to the second user profile allowing a computer associated with the second user profile to access data and/or program features that are defined by the shared permissions.
