analyze a privacy risk level of a resource based on a metadata concerning the resource, a collective input regarding the resource, the usage context, and identifying a privacy trigger within a substantive content included in the resource through analysis of the substantive content;
retrieve one or more historical sharing profiles of the device, wherein each of the historical sharing profiles links a sharing privacy preference with a particular instance of the usage context;
generate one or more options for sharing the resource with the device by generating a privacy recommendation and a security measure based on the historical sharing profile, the privacy risk level and the usage context, wherein:
the privacy recommendation is for representing a choice or preference presented to the one or more users in one or more actions available to manage privacy risk, and
the security measure is for representing a command or setting to implement the one or more actions to manage the privacy risk; and
a storage unit, coupled to the control unit, configured to store the resource.
2. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to:
retrieve the one or more historical sharing profiles, including, a record of a previous sharing operation.
3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is further configured to:
generate a privacy geo-fence around the device;
determine a permission level of a further device detected within the privacy geo-fence for granting access to the resource; and
generate the one or more options for sharing the resource with the further device based on the permission level.
4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to generate the privacy recommendation to include a message to deploy the security measure.
5. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is further configured to:
determine an intra-enterprise sharing operation for sharing the resource within an enterprise; and
generate the one or more options for the device based on the intra-enterprise sharing operation, the privacy risk level, and the usage context.
6. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is further configured to determine the privacy risk level of the resource by analyzing a pictorial content of the resource.
7. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is further configured to generate the one or more options by deploying a locking procedure, a substitution procedure, an encryption procedure, or a combination thereof.
8. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is further configured to determine the user context by determining a companion identity and a companion demographic.
9. A method for privacy-aware sharing management, comprising:
determining, with a control unit, a usage context including a capability of a device, a usage time and a device location associated with the device, and a user context of one or more users with access to the device;
analyzing a privacy risk level of a resource based on a metadata concerning the resource, a collective input regarding the resource, the usage context, and identifying a privacy trigger within a substantive content included in the resource through analysis of the substantive content; and
retrieving one or more historical sharing profiles of the device, wherein each of the historical sharing profiles links a sharing privacy preference with a particular instance of the usage context;
generating one or more options for sharing the resource with the device by generating a privacy recommendation and a security measure based on the historical sharing profile, the privacy risk level and the usage context, wherein:
the privacy recommendation is for representing a choice or preference presented to the one or more users in one or more actions available to manage privacy risk, and
the security measure is for representing a command or setting to implement the one or more actions to manage the privacy risk.
10. The method as claimed in claim 9 wherein:
retrieving one or more historical sharing profiles includes retrieving the one or more historical sharing profiles including a record of a previous sharing operation.
11. The method as claimed in claim 9 further comprising:
generating a privacy geo-fence around the device;
determining a permission level of a further device detected within the privacy geo-fence for granting access to the resource; and
generating the one or more options for sharing the resource with the further device based on the permission level.
12. The method as claimed in claim 9 wherein generating the privacy recommendation includes generating the privacy recommendation including a message to deploy the security measure.
13. The method as claimed in claim 9 further comprising:
determining an intra-enterprise sharing operation for sharing the resource within an enterprise; and
generating the one or more options for the device based on the intra-enterprise sharing operation, the privacy risk level, and the usage context.
14. The method as claimed in claim 9 further comprising determining the privacy risk level of the resource by analyzing a pictorial content of the resource.
15. The method as claimed in claim 9 further comprising generating the one or more options by deploying a locking procedure, a substitution procedure, an encryption procedure, or a combination thereof.
16. The method as claimed in claim 9 further comprising determining the user context by determining a companion identity and a companion demographic.
17. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions for execution, comprising:
determining a usage context including a capability of a device, a usage time and a device location associated with the device, and a user context of one or more users with access to the device;
analyzing a privacy risk level of a resource based on a metadata concerning the resource, a collective input regarding the resource, the usage context, and identifying a privacy trigger within a substantive content included in the resource through analysis of the substantive content; and
retrieving one or more historical sharing profiles of the device, wherein each of the historical sharing profiles links a sharing privacy preference with a particular instance of the usage context;
generating one or more options for sharing the resource with the device by generating a privacy recommendation and a security measure based on the historical sharing profile, the privacy risk level and the usage context, wherein:
the privacy recommendation is for representing a choice or preference presented to the one or more users in one or more actions available to manage privacy risk, and
the security measure is for representing a command or setting to implement the one or more actions to manage the privacy risk.
18. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 17 wherein:
retrieving one or more historical sharing profiles includes retrieving the one or more historical sharing profiles including a record of a previous sharing operation.
19. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 17 further comprising:
generating a privacy geo-fence around the device;
determining a permission level of a further device detected within the privacy geo-fence for granting access to the resource; and
generating the one or more options for sharing the resource with the further device based on the permission level.
20. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 17 wherein generating the privacy recommendation includes generating the privavy recommendation including a message to deploy the security measure.
21. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 17 further comprising:
determining an intra-enterprise sharing operation for sharing the resource within an enterprise; and
generating the one or more options for the device based on the intra-enterprise sharing operation, the privacy risk level, and the usage context.
22. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 17 further comprising determining the privacy risk level of the resource by analyzing a pictorial content of the resource.
23. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 17 further comprising generating the one or more options by deploying a locking procedure, a substitution procedure, an encryption procedure, or a combination thereof.
