Individualized data sharing

Abstract

A method may include: maintaining one or more attributes of a first user; maintaining a risk profile scheme configured by the first user, the risk profile scheme comprising a passive permission table indicating whether a second user has permission to the one or more attributes; allowing the first user to grant dynamic permissions to the second user to access the one or more attributes in accordance with the risk profile scheme; allowing the first user to perform content blobulation of the one or more attributes; and allowing the first user to perform content reblobulation of the one or more attributes in accordance with the risk profile scheme.

1 . A method comprising:
 maintaining one or more attributes of a first user;   maintaining a risk profile scheme configured by the first user, the risk profile scheme comprising a passive permission table indicating whether a second user has permission to the one or more attributes;   allowing the first user to grant dynamic permissions to the second user to access the one or more attributes in accordance with the risk profile scheme;   allowing the first user to perform content blobulation of the one or more attributes;   allowing the first user to perform content reblobulation of the one or more attributes in accordance with the risk profile scheme.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the second user is associated with a community. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the community comprises: an email community, a shopping community, a social networking community, a corporation, a communications carrier, a group of professionals, or a group of networked individuals. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the first user and the community are coupled using a federated exchange. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the federated exchange is configured to exchange content blob updates between the first user and the second user, thereby building trust between the first user and the second user. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the first user is associated with the community. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the one or more attributes are owned by the community. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the first user is associated with another community distinct from the community. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein allowing the first user to perform the content reblobulation comprises assisting the first user in finding a business associated with the community. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein allowing the first user to perform the content reblobulation comprises assisting the first user use a loyalty program associated with the community. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein allowing the first user to perform the content reblobulation comprises assisting the first user manage an account associated with the community. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the risk profile scheme is configured to condition the content blobulation on occurrence of an event indicating a likelihood of data loss on a device associated with the first user. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the risk profile scheme is configured to condition the content blobulation on a location of the first user, or association of the first user in a loyalty program. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the content reblobulation is enabled by the content blobulation. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the risk profile scheme is configured to determine whether the second user implicitly volunteers to assist with the content reblobulation. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more attributes comprises a required attribute of a datastore associated with the first user. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein performing content reblobulation comprises:
 maintaining a set of dynamic permission receipts, and   sending content to the first user upon a request based on the set of dynamic permission receipts.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 1 , the first user is a mobile device user. 
     
     
         19 . A system comprising:
 a first user engine associated with a first user;   a second user engine associated with a second user;   a dynamic permissions engine coupled to the first user engine and the second user engine;   a content blob engine coupled to the first user engine and the second user engine;   a passive permissions engine coupled to the first user engine and the second user engine;   a content datastore coupled to the passive permissions table;   wherein, in operation:
 the passive permissions engine maintains one or more attributes of the first user, and maintains a risk profile scheme configured by the first user, the risk profile scheme comprising a passive permission table indicating whether the second user has permission to the one or more attributes; 
 the dynamic permissions engine allows the first user to grant dynamic permissions to the second user to access the one or more attributes in accordance with the risk profile scheme; 
 the content blob engine is configured to perform content blobulation of the one or more attributes, and to allow the first user to perform content reblobulation of the one or more attributes in accordance with the risk profile scheme. 
   
     
     
         20 . A system comprising:
 means for maintaining one or more attributes of a first user;   means for maintaining a risk profile scheme configured by the first user, the risk profile scheme comprising a passive permission table indicating whether a second user has permission to the one or more attributes;   means for allowing the first user to grant dynamic permissions to the second user to access the one or more attributes in accordance with the risk profile scheme, thereby performing content blobulation of the one or more attributes;   means for allowing the first user to perform content reblobulation of the one or more attributes in accordance with the risk profile scheme.
