SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INFORMATION GATEKEEPER BASED ON AGGREGATE PROFILE DATA
First Claim
1. A method of operation for a computing device of a user, comprising:
- configuring a sharing rule for a sharable item stored by the computing device, the sharing rule being based on an element of aggregate profile data for a current location of the user;
obtaining the element of the aggregate profile data for the current location of the user;
resolving the sharing rule for the sharable item based on the element of the aggregate profile data for the current location of the user to provide a resolution result; and
sharing the sharable item according to the resolution result for the sharing rule.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for controlling access to sharable items. In general, a computing device of a user stores a sharable item. A sharing rule is configured for the sharable item, where the sharing rule is based on an element of aggregate profile data for a current location of the user, a crowd characteristic of one or more crowds that are currently relevant to the current location of the user, or both. Depending on the embodiment, the element of the aggregate profile data, the crowd characteristic of the one or more crowds, or both are obtained and the sharing rule for the sharable item is resolved. Sharing of the sharable item is then provided according to a result of the resolution of the sharing rule for the sharable item.
