AUTOMATICALLY DETERMINING A SENSITIVITY LEVEL OF A RESOURCE AND APPLYING PRESENTATION ATTRIBUTES TO THE RESOURCE BASED ON ATTRIBUTES OF A USER ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A method for automatically determining a sensitivity level of a resource, the method comprising:
- monitoring attributes of a user environment in which a first instance of information related to a resource is presented to a user;
determining attributes of the resource for which the first instance of information is presented;
detecting a user-initiated change in a presentation attribute of the instance of information;
following detection of the user-initiated change in the presentation attribute, storing the user environment attributes and the changed presentation attribute in association with the resource; and
automatically determining a sensitivity level of the resource based on the detected user-initiated change in the presentation attribute and the user environment attributes.

Abstract
A method and system is provided for automatically determining a sensitivity level of a resource and automatically applying presentation attributes to a resource based on attributes of a user environment in which the resource is presented. Aspects of this embodiment include monitoring attributes of a user environment in which a first instance of information related to a resource is presented to a user; determining attributes of the resource for which the first instance of information is presented; detecting a user-initiated change in a presentation attribute of the instance of information; following detection of the user-initiated change in the presentation attribute, storing the user environment attributes and the changed presentation attribute in association with the resource; and automatically determining a sensitivity level of the resource based on the detected user-initiated change in the presentation attribute and the user environment attributes.

14. A method for automatically applying presentation attributes to a resource based on attributes of a user environment in which the resource is presented, the method comprising:
-
monitoring attributes of a user environment in which a first instance of information related to a resource is presented to a user; detecting a change in an attribute of the user environment; detecting a user-initiated change in a presentation attribute of the first instance of information following the detected change in the user environment attribute, the user-initiated change related to a presentation of the first instance of information; associating the changed user environment attribute and the changed presentation attribute with the resource; detecting a second instance of information related to the resource being presented to the user; and providing for the changed presentation attribute to be applied to the second instance of the information related to the resource when the associated user environment attribute is detected. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. An electronic device comprising:
-
a processor for executing software; a presentation device coupled to the processor for presenting information; a memory coupled to the processor, the memory for storing; at least one software application for presenting first and second instances of information related to a resource via the presentation device, and a sensitivity manager in communication with the at least one software application; an environmental attributes detector in communication with the sensitivity manager for monitoring user environment attributes; and a presentation attributes detector in communication with the sensitivity manager for monitoring presentation attributes; wherein when executed by the processor, the sensitivity manager functions to; detect a change in an attribute of a user environment in which the first instance of information related to the resource is being presented; detect a user-initiated change in a presentation attribute of the first instance of information following the detected change in the user environment attribute, where the user-initiated change is related to the presentation of the first instance of information; associate the changed user environment attribute and the changed presentation attribute with the resource; and in response to the second instance of information related to the resource being presented to the user, provide for the changed presentation attribute to be applied to the second instance of the information related to the resource when the associated user environment attribute is detected. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. An electronic device comprising:
-
an environmental attributes detector for monitoring attributes of a user environment in which a first instance of information related to a resource is presented to a user; a resource attributes detector for determining attributes of the resource for which the first instance of information is presented; a sensitivity manager in communication with the environmental attributes detector and the resource attributes detector, wherein when executed by the processor, the sensitivity manager functions to; detect a user-initiated change in a presentation attribute of the instance of information; store the user environment attributes and the changed presentation attribute in association with the resource following detection of the user-initiated change in the presentation attribute; and automatically determine a sensitivity level of the resource based on the detected user-initiated change in the presentation attribute and the user environment attributes.

36. A system for automatically applying presentation attributes to a resource based on attributes of a user environment in which the resource is presented, the system comprising:
-
means for monitoring attributes of a user environment in which a first instance of information related to a resource is presented to a user; means for detecting a change in an attribute of the user environment; means for detecting a user-initiated change in a presentation attribute of the first instance of information following the detected change in the user environment attribute, the user-initiated change related to a presentation of the first instance of information; means for associating the changed user environment attribute and the changed presentation attribute with the resource; means for detecting a second instance of information related to the resource being presented to the user; and means providing for the changed presentation attribute to be applied to the second instance of the information related to the resource when the associated user environment attribute is detected.
