1. A system, comprising:
- a transfer determining module configured to determine that a computing device used by a first user has been transferred from the first user to a second user, the transfer determining module including at least;
a transfer determining module including a visual cue detecting module configured to determine that the computing device has been transferred from the first user to the second user when the visual cue detecting module at least detects presence or absence of one or more visual cues in proximate vicinity of the computing device that when detected implies transfer of the computing device between two users, the transfer determining module including a visual cue detecting module including at least;
a visual cue detecting module including a face detecting module configured to detect presence or absence of one or more visual cues in the proximate vicinity of the computing device when the face detecting module at least detects presence of a first face associated with the first user and a second face associated with the second user in the proximate vicinity of the computing device, the second face being detected as being closer to the computing device than the first face;
an active ascertaining module configured to ascertain, responsive, at least in part, to said transfer determining module, which of one or more items that are at least conditionally accessible through the computing device are active; and
an access providing module configured to provide one or more selective levels of access to the one or more items responsive, at least in part, to said active ascertaining module; and
wherein at least one of the transfer determining module configured to determine that a computing device used by a first user has been transferred from the first user to a second user, the active ascertaining module, or the access providing module is implemented at least in part with one or more processing devices.

Abstract
A computationally implemented method includes, but is not limited to: determining that a computing device used by a first user has been transferred from the first user to a second user; ascertaining, in response to said determining, which of one or more items that are at least conditionally accessible through the computing device are active; and providing one or more selective levels of access to the one or more items based, at least in part, on said ascertaining. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

44. A computationally-implemented system, comprising:
-
circuitry for determining that a computing device used by a first user has been transferred from the first user to a second user, the circuitry for determining including at least; circuitry for determining that the computing device has been transferred from the first user to the second user based at least in part on a detection of a presence or absence of one or more visual cues in proximate vicinity of the computing device that when detected implies transfer of the computing device between two users, the circuitry for determining that the computing device has been transferred from the first user to the second user including at least; circuitry for detecting a presence or an absence of one or more visual cues in the proximate vicinity of the computing device based at least in part on a detection of a presence of a first face associated with the first user and a second face associated with the second user in the proximate vicinity of the computing device, the second face being detected as being closer to the computing device than the first face; circuitry for ascertaining, responsive, at least in part, to said circuitry for determining that a computing device used by a first user has been transferred from the first user to a second user, which of one or more items that are at least conditionally accessible through the computing device are active; and circuitry for providing one or more selective levels of access to the one or more items responsive, at least in part, to said circuitry for ascertaining.

45. An article of manufacture, comprising:
-
a non-transitory storage medium bearing at least; one or more instructions for determining that a computing device used by a first user has been transferred from the first user to a second user, the one or more instructions for determining including at least; one or more instructions for determining that the computing device has been transferred from the first user to the second user based at least in part on a detection that the computing device has moved in a particular manner that upon being detected as occurring at least implies that the computing device has been transferred between at least two users, the one or more instructions for determining that the computing device has been transferred from the first user to the second user including at least; one or more instructions for detecting that the computing device has moved in the particular manner based at least in part on a detection that the computing device is no longer vibrating in a manner that matches with a vibration pattern that the computing device was detected having during use of the computing device by the first user; one or more instructions for ascertaining, in response to said determining, which of one or more items that are at least conditionally accessible through the computing device are active; and one or more instructions for providing one or more selective levels of access to the one or more items based, at least in part, on said ascertaining.
