System and method to enable sensory data for any devices connected to a phone in a 5G network
A method of sharing information between an external device and a portable processing device in communication with the external device, including the steps of the portable processing device evaluating policy restrictions associated with the external device, evaluating requested data by the external device in view of the policy restrictions, if the requested data may be shared with the external device, then the portable process device providing access to the data requested. The method may further include setting policy restrictions as a function of the external device, 3rd party security requirements, subscriber preferences and/or predefined mobility network policies.
1. A method of sharing information between a connected device of a user and a portable processing user device of the user in communication with the connected device and wherein the connected device has access to first sensory data generated by the connected device, comprising:
receiving, by the portable processing user device, a request from the connected device for access to second sensory data generated by a native application on the portable processing user device;
the portable processing user device evaluating policy restrictions associated with the second sensory data requested by the connected device;
evaluating, by the portable processing user device, second sensory data requested by the connected device in view of the policy restrictions wherein the second sensory data requested is not otherwise accessible by the connected device; and
if the requested second sensory data may be shared with the connected device, then the portable processing user device providing access to the second sensory data requested by the connected device.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising setting policy restrictions as a function of one of the connected device, subscriber preferences, or security requirements.
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising storing portable processing second device sensory data in memory associated with the portable processing user device and making the second sensory data available to the connected device.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein the memory is a common repository on the portable processing user device.
5. The method of claim 3 wherein the memory is located in a cloud-based storage area associated with the user.
6. The method of claim 3 wherein the second sensory data is derived from hardware or software on the portable processing user device.
7. The method of claim 6 wherein the second sensory data is time-stamped such that the most recent second sensory data is made accessible to the connected device.
8. The method of claim 6 wherein the second sensory data is time stamped and updating the second sensory data if more recent data is available.
9. The method of claim 1 further comprising storing first sensory data using the portable processing user device in accordance with the policies.
10. The method of claim 9 wherein the first sensory data is stored in a common repository on the portable processing user device.
11. The method of claim 9 wherein the second sensory data is made available to a second connected device connected to the portable processing user device in accordance with policies.
12. The method of claim 9 wherein the first sensory data is stored in a personal-cloud-based storage area.
13. The method of claim 12 wherein the first sensory data is made available to an external application with access to the cloud-based storage area in accordance with the policies.
