Methods, Apparatus and Systems for Displaying and/or Facilitating Interaction with Secure Information via a Channel Grid Framework
First Claim
1. An apparatus serving as a user platform operated by a user to facilitate display of, and interaction with, secure user-centric information, the apparatus comprising:
- a display device to display a desktop for the user platform;
at least one communication interface to facilitate wired and/or wireless communications via one or more transmission media;
at least one memory to store processor-executable instructions; and
at least one processor communicatively coupled to the display device, the at least one communication interface, and the at least one memory, wherein upon execution of the processor-executable instructions by the at least one processor, the at least one processor manages display of and interaction with the secure user-centric information by;
A) controlling the display device to display the desktop for the user platform as a channel grid framework, the channel grid framework including a plurality of user-selectable items representing a corresponding plurality of authorized channels through which the user receives and/or interacts with respective portions of the secure user-centric information,wherein the plurality of user-selectable items included in the channel grid framework is based at least in part on information access rights and/or security protocols respectively associated with the corresponding plurality of authorized channels, the user, and the user platform.

Abstract
Facilitating display of, and interaction with, secure user-centric information via a user platform operated by a user. A desktop is displayed on a display device of the user platform as a channel grid framework that includes a plurality of user-selectable items representing a corresponding plurality of authorized channels through which the user receives and/or interacts with respective portions of the secure user-centric information. The plurality of user-selectable items included in the channel grid framework is based at least in part on information access rights and/or security protocols respectively associated with the corresponding plurality of channels, the user, and the user platform.
