Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a user interface comprising at least a first display device and a second display device; a processor; a memory configured to store user defined data items; wherein the processor is configured to associate a privacy stamp selectively with the stored data items in response to one or more user selections; wherein the processor is configured to feed the stored data items to the user interface in response to a triggering event; wherein the processor is further configured, upon detection of a triggering event, to examine the stored data items associated with the triggering event to determine if they are associated with a privacy stamp; wherein the processor is further configured, if the stored data items are associated with a privacy stamp, to cause at least one display device to present a notification of the triggering event and to cause at least one display device to prevent automatic display of at least some of the stored data items in response to a triggering event and, upon an explicit user selection made after the notification of the triggering event, to cause display of at least some of the data items whose display was so prevented; and wherein the processor is further configured to, if the triggering event is an incoming call, cause the apparatus to answer the incoming call only in response to an explicit user selection indicating a choice to answer the incoming call if the data items associated with the incoming call are associated with a privacy stamp.
