1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- coupling a mobile device having a first resource to a first network environment;
reading, by the mobile device, a first network identifier associated with the first network environment and a port;
determining, by the mobile device, whether the first network identifier satisfies a first access requirement stored locally at the mobile device;
obtaining a user name and password associated with a particular user of the first network;
reading, by the mobile device, a second access requirement stored locally at the mobile device;
determining, by the mobile device, if the user name and password satisfies the second access requirement before allowing access to the first resource; and
allowing access to the first resource if the first network identifier satisfies the first access requirement and the user name and password satisfies the second access requirement.

Abstract
A system and process are described where a user of a mobile device grants access to resources associated with the mobile device to other users. Access is typically established when the user of the mobile device couples the device to a network environment and another user provides data that matches sharing criteria associated with the desired resource. The sharing criteria can include user ID/password combination, a network ID or a combination of both.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
coupling a mobile device having a first resource to a first network environment; reading, by the mobile device, a first network identifier associated with the first network environment and a port; determining, by the mobile device, whether the first network identifier satisfies a first access requirement stored locally at the mobile device; obtaining a user name and password associated with a particular user of the first network; reading, by the mobile device, a second access requirement stored locally at the mobile device; determining, by the mobile device, if the user name and password satisfies the second access requirement before allowing access to the first resource; and allowing access to the first resource if the first network identifier satisfies the first access requirement and the user name and password satisfies the second access requirement. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3)

4. A computer-implemented method of establishing and using sharing criteria to control access to a resource comprising:
-
reading, by a mobile device, a first network identifier associated with a first network environment and a port; receiving, by the mobile device, an indication that a first resource on the mobile device is to be associated with the first network identifier; storing, at the mobile device, the first network identifier in a first association with a resource identifier that identifies the first resource so that access to the resource is contingent upon receipt of the first network identifier; receiving by the mobile device a user name and password associated with a particular user; receiving by the mobile device an indication that the first resource is to be associated also with the user name and password; and storing, at the mobile device, the user name and password in a second association with the resource identifier so that the access to the first resource is contingent also upon receipt of the user name and password. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A computer readable medium including instructions for causing a processor to:
-
read, by a mobile device, a first network identifier associated with a first network environment and a port; receive, by the mobile device, an indication that a first resource on the mobile device is to be associated with the first network identifier; store in memory of the mobile device the first network identifier in a first association with a resource identifier that identifies the resource so that access to the first resource is contingent upon receipt of the first network identifier; receive, by the mobile device, a user name and password associated with a particular user; receive, by the mobile device, an indication that the first resource is to be associated also with the user name and password; and store in the memory of the mobile device the user name and password in a second association with the resource identifier so that the access of the first resource is contingent also upon receipt of the user name and password. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
