Abstract

An approach for providing context-based view content management is described. A request for content associated with a user is received. A view of a subset of the content is dynamically generated based on the request and context information associated with the user. Access to the view is provided for one or more user devices.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving a request for content associated with a user;

dynamically generating a view of a subset of the content based on the request and context information associated with the user; and

providing access to the view for one or more user devices.

2. A method according to claim 1, further comprising:

determining the context information based on historical and dynamic data for the user and information on a pattern of use by the user.

3. A method according to claim 1, further comprising:

determining user preference information based on historical data for the user and information on a pattern of use by the user, wherein the view is further based on the user preference information.

4. A method according to claim 1, further comprising:

generating a message to request an approval from the user to access the content; and

determining that the user has approved the request, wherein the view is further based on the approval.

5. A method according to claim 4, wherein the message is transmitted to the user via short message service (SMS), instant messaging (IM), email, voice session, or a combination thereof.

6. A method according to claim 4, further comprising:

determining to modify the context information, user preference information, or a combination thereof based on the approval.

7. A method according to claim 1, further comprising:

determining to limit the access to the view per transaction or based on a predetermined time interval.

8. A method according to claim 1, wherein the view includes only information necessary to satisfy the request.

9. A method according to claim 1, wherein the view is further based on context information of an initiator of the request.

10. A method according to claim 1, wherein the one or more user devices are heterogeneous devices.

11. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,

receive a request for content associated with a user;

dynamically generate a view of a subset of the content based on the request and context information associated with the user; and

provide access to the view for one or more user devices.

12. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

determine the context information based on historical and dynamic data for the user and information on a pattern of use by the user.

13. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

determine user preference information based on historical data for the user and information on a pattern of use by the user, wherein the view is further based on the user preference information.

14. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

generate a message to request an approval from the user to access the content; and

determine that the user has approved the request, wherein the view is further based on the approval.

15. An apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the message is transmitted to the user via short message service (SMS), instant messaging (IM), email, voice session, or a combination thereof.

16. An apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

determine to modify the context information, user preference information, or a combination thereof based on the approval.

17. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

determine to limit the access to the view per transaction or based on a predetermined time interval.

18. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the view includes only information necessary to satisfy the request.

19. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the view is further based on context information of an initiator of the request.

20. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the one or more user devices are heterogeneous devices.
