IDENTITY-BASED CONTENT ACCESS CONTROL
First Claim
1. One or more computer-readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions configured to cause a computing device, in response to execution of the instructions by the computing device, to:
- identify, in association with presentation of a piece of content on the computing device, one or more content consumers that are physically proximate to the computing device;
determine one or more access permissions for the identified one or more content consumers; and
control access to the content based on the determined one or more access permissions.

Abstract
In embodiments, apparatuses, methods and storage media are described that are associated with performing identity-based access control for content. A content consumption device may be configured to control access to presented content based on identities of one or more content consumers that are physically proximate to the device. The content consumption device may be configured to perform facial and/or voice recognition on one or more content consumers to determine an identity for the one or more content consumers. The content consumption device may be configured to determine access permissions for the identified content consumers. At various times, access to a piece of content may change based on who is physically proximate to the content consumption device. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

17. An apparatus, comprising:
-
one or more computing processors; a player module configured to operate on the one or more computing processors to present a piece of content; one or more facial and/or voice recognition modules configured to operate on the one or more computing processors to identify, in association with presentation of the piece of content, one or more content consumers that are physically proximate to the apparatus; and an access control module configured to operate on the one or more computing processors to; determine one or more access permissions for the identified one or more content consumers; and control access to the content based on the determined one or more access permissions. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
