Secure data management
First Claim
1. An apparatus for use with a user interface, the apparatus comprising:
- a non-transitory memory storing computer readable instructions; and
a processor in communication with the memory and with a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of security zones, wherein the computer readable instructions are configured to cause the processor to;
determine whether an application instance is in a foreground of the user interface;
when the application instance is in the foreground of the user interface, determine an alert level associated with the application instance, wherein the alert level includes at least one of a restriction level and an access level,wherein the restriction level is determined based on previous security zones that have been accessed by the application instance, andwherein the access level is determined based on security zones that are currently accessed by the application instance; and
provide the alert level to a user of the apparatus using a visual cue displayed on the user interface.

Abstract
The disclosed subject matter includes a method. The method includes determining, by a module running on a computer platform in communication with non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of security zones, whether an application instance is in a foreground of a user interface for the computer platform. The method further includes determining, by the module, an alert level associated with the application instance in the foreground of the user interface, wherein the alert level includes at least one of a restriction level and an access level. The method also includes providing the alert level to a user of the computer platform using a visual cue displayed on the user interface.

1. An apparatus for use with a user interface, the apparatus comprising:
-
a non-transitory memory storing computer readable instructions; and a processor in communication with the memory and with a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of security zones, wherein the computer readable instructions are configured to cause the processor to; determine whether an application instance is in a foreground of the user interface; when the application instance is in the foreground of the user interface, determine an alert level associated with the application instance, wherein the alert level includes at least one of a restriction level and an access level, wherein the restriction level is determined based on previous security zones that have been accessed by the application instance, and wherein the access level is determined based on security zones that are currently accessed by the application instance; and provide the alert level to a user of the apparatus using a visual cue displayed on the user interface. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium having executable instructions operable to cause an apparatus to:
-
determine whether an application instance is in a foreground of a user interface for the apparatus in communication with non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of security zones; determine an alert level associated with the application instance in the foreground of the user interface, wherein the alert level includes at least one of a restriction level and an access level, wherein the restriction level is determined based on previous security zones that have been accessed by the application instance, wherein the access level is determined based on security zones that are currently accessed by the application instance; and provide the alert level to a user of the apparatus using a visual cue displayed on the user interface.

-
18. The computer readable medium of 17, further comprising executable instructions operable to cause the apparatus to determine whether the alert level associated with the foreground application satisfies notification criteria.
-
19. The computer readable medium of 18, wherein the alert level associated with the foreground application satisfies the notification criteria when the alert level is greater than a predetermined threshold.
-
20. The computer readable medium of 17, further comprising executable instructions operable to cause the apparatus to modify a perceived color of the status bar on the user interface.
