First Claim
1. A system for establishing if an operation requested for performance upon a memory device should occur, comprising:
- a communication component that gathers a request to perform the operation upon the memory device;
a collection component that obtains metadata that relates to the operation;
an analysis component that evaluates at least a portion of the obtained metadata that relates to the operation requested for performance upon the memory device;
a resolution component that intelligently establishes if the operation should automatically occur;
a security component that facilitates the resolution component to establish if the operation should automatically occur as a function of security and, if it is established that the operations should not automatically occur, denies the operation; and
a notification component that emits a notice to an entity that the operation should not automatically occur responsive to establishing that the operations should not automatically occur.

Abstract
Valuable information can be retained upon a storage device, such as a flash memory unit. Due to the portable nature of the memory, there can be increased likelihood of theft, less back up of important files not a reliable medium, legal physical transfer of the device between parties, and the like. When an operation is requested to take place related to the device, a check can take place if the operation should be allowed based upon device metadata, such as physical location of the device, device history, and so forth. A determination can be made on if the operation should automatically occur based upon a result of the check. If it is determination that the operation should not automatically occur, then the operation can be denied or a request can be made to an owner of the device on if the operation should be allowed to occur.

12. A method performed by a processor executing computer-readable instructions stored on a computer storage media, the method comprising
determining a physical location of a user, a physical location of a storage device, and a historical use of the storage device, the historical use of the storage device including a log on the storage device that records one or more authorized parties who have conducted operations to the storage device; - and
selecting if an operation should transpire concerning the storage device as a function of the determined physical location of the user and the determined physical location of the storage device and the historical use of the storage device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system, comprising:
-
means for identifying an operation request to be performed upon a memory unit; means for analyzing the operation request to be performed upon the memory unit; and means for gathering a physical location of a requesting entity, physical location of the memory unit and contextual information that relates to the operation request; means for evaluating at least a portion of the gathered information; means for determining if the operation should automatically occur based upon a result of the gathered information evaluation; means for automatically denying the operation if it is determined that the operation should not automatically occur; and means for appealing to a regulatory entity that an instruction be provided on if the operation should occur if it is determined that the operation should not automatically occur. - View Dependent Claims (19)
