Patent ID: 10530778

Abstract:
A computing device includes an interface configured to interface and communicate with a communication system, a memory that stores operational instructions, and processing circuitry, coupled to the interface and memory, that is configured to execute the operational instructions to perform various operations. The computing device generates collaboration data between an owner/user and other user(s) based on existing data content on the computing device and processes the collaboration data to generate collaboration measure(s) associated with the other user(s). The computing device generates an access control list (ACL) that specifies access level(s) for the other user(s). Based on a user request associated with a user to access the existing data content and/or application(s) on the computing device, the computing device determines identity of the user. When the user associated qualifies for access, the computing device selectively authorizes access to access at least some of the existing data content and/or application(s).
