Method and apparatus for providing privacy profile adaptation based on physiological state change
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a user device, a matrix mapping at least one change in one or more physiological states of a user of the user device with one or more user actions having one or more offsetting effects on the at least one change, wherein the at least one change in the one or more physiological states is caused, at least in part, by stress;
determining, at the user device, at least one private data sharing requirement of the user to facilitate the one or more user actions, wherein the at least one private data sharing requirement specifies private data sharing settings in a privacy profile of the user;
upon determining based on sensor information of the user device that the at least one change in the one or more physiological states occurs, retrieving, at the user device, the one or more user actions and the at least one private data sharing requirement;
modifying the privacy profile of the user at the user device to facilitate the at least one private data sharing requirement;
implementing the modification of the privacy profile for a duration of the at least one change, until an expiration time, or a combination thereof, wherein the matrix and the privacy profile are specific to the user; and
monitoring, via the user device, whether the one or more user actions occur, and whether the at least one change in the one or more physiological states is offset after the modification,wherein the privacy profile reverts to at least one configuration active prior to the at least one change in the one or more physiological states, after the at least one change is offset after the modification; and
wherein the one or more user actions are external to and independent from the user device.

Abstract
An approach is provided for adapting privacy profiles to respond to changes in physiological state. The policy platform may process and/or facilitate a processing of sensor information to determine at least one change in one or more physiological states of at least one user, wherein the at least one user is associated with at least one context, at least one activity, or a combination thereof. Then, the policy platform may cause, at least in part, a modification of at least one privacy profile for at least one device associated with the at least one user based, at least in part, on the at least one change in the one or more physiological states, the at least one context, the at least one activity, or a combination thereof, wherein the modification of the at least one privacy profile includes, at least in part, an enabling or a disabling of one or more privacy services operating at least at least one device.

8. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus embedded in a user device to perform at least the following, receive a matrix mapping at least one change in one or more physiological states of a user of the user device with one or more user actions coincided with one or more offsetting effects on the at least one change; determine at least one private data sharing requirement of the user to facilitate the one or more user actions, wherein the at least one private data sharing requirement specifies private data sharing settings in a privacy profile of the user; upon determining based on sensor information of the user device that the at least one change in the one or more physiological states occurs, retrieve the one or more user actions and the at least one private data sharing requirement; modify the privacy profile of the user at the user device to facilitate the at least one private data sharing requirement; implement the modification of the privacy profile for a duration of the at least one change, until an expiration time, or a combination thereof; and monitor whether the one or more user actions occur, and whether the at least one change in the one or more physiological states is offset after the modification, wherein the privacy profile reverts to at least one configuration active prior to the at least one change in the one or more physiological states, after the at least one change is offset after the modification; and wherein the one or more user actions are external to and independent from the user device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
