Information control in federated interaction
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- providing information to a first device, for outputting to at least one recipient, using a first output mode;
determining an authorization of a person in proximity to the first device to receive the information;
preventing a subset of the information from being output at the first device using the first output mode, based on the authorization; and
outputting at least the subset of the information to the recipient at a second device, using a second output mode.

Abstract
Techniques are described for protecting information in a convenient and useful way. A user transmits information from a mobile device to an ambient display, so that other users may receive the information from the ambient display. A display controller detects a presence of a potentially unauthorized user relative to the ambient display, and modifies the outputting of the information at the ambient display so as to hide portions of the information that should not be seen by the potentially unauthorized user. The information, including the hidden portion, is nonetheless output, using one of a plurality of output channels of one or more secondary devices, either to the user and/or the other users. In this way, authorized users may continue to receive the information, and, moreover, may input an indication as to whether an extent of the hidden portion is sufficient to provide adequate security with regard to the information.

14. A system comprising:
-
an originating device operated by a presenting user, and that is operable to output information to an output device, for receipt therefrom by a recipient; and
an output controller that is operable to determine a presence of an additional user relative to the output device, and further operable to prevent at least a portion of the information from being output at the output device, wherein the output controller is further operable to output at least the portion of the information at a secondary output, for receipt thereof by the recipient. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. An apparatus comprising a storage medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions including:
-
a first code segment for determining a transmission of information from an originating device to a multi-user output device, for receipt therefrom by a recipient;
a second code segment for determining a presence of a potentially-unauthorized user relative to the multi-user output device;
a third code segment for blocking a portion of the information from output by the multi-user output device, based on the presence; and
a fourth code segment for outputting at least the portion of the information at a secondary output, for receipt therefrom by the recipient. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
