1. A user device comprising:
- a resource registry storing capabilities lists (CLs) received from one or more external resources available to and in proximity with the user device, each CL specifying one or more attributes of the respective external resource from which it is received;
an environment map comprising (i) resource environment information obtained from the resource registry and (ii) physical environment information obtained from one or more sensors; and
a recognition unit matching access policies of the user device with the environment map to dynamically assign a profile to the user device, and controlling access to a functionality of the user device based on the profile assigned to the user device.
