DESCRIPTION OF PARTICULAR MODALITIES

Figures 1A-B are illustrative cable structures showing an example of contextual lock / unlock of a user computing device. In particular embodiments, the mobile device 100 includes a touch screen 105 and a camera 110. The mobile device 100 may be able to connect to a social networking system in the manner of a communications network, such as a Wi-Fi cellular network. . Particular modalities of a network environment associated with a social networking system are described in further detail in Figure 4 and related text in the specification. Mobile device 100 may be able to detect its own location via GPS. Mobile device 100 may also include an accelerometer that can detect movement of mobile device 100 within three dimensions. Mobile device 100 may also include a gyro that detects the orientation of mobile device 100 (eg, whether mobile device 100 is tilted up or down, or rotated horizontally). Mobile device 100 may further include sensors that perform biometric identification, such as using camera 110 to capture an image to perform facial recognition, or using sensors within touch screen 105 to capture a fingerprint. Mobile device 100 can further include touch sensors and proximity sensors distributed on its outer surface. As an expert in the art I would be

MEXICAN INSTITUTE

OR LA ΜΟΡΙΕΠΑΓ) INDVST1UA1 aware, the modalities of the invention are not limited to receiving requests or sending information to a mobile device and can be performed in association with other types of computing devices as described in Figure 3 and related text in the specification .

The user associated with the mobile device 100 may be a member of a social networking system, wherein the computing device user's profile, connection information, and content associations are maintained. The user can be represented by a user node in the social graph. Modalities of a social graph are described in additional detail with respect to Figure 5. Friends of the user can also be represented by user nodes in the social graph and connected to the user by edges in the social graph that represent one or more degrees of separation. The content with which the user is associated can be represented by concept nodes in the social graph. Particular modalities of social graphing are described in additional detail in Figure 5 and related text in the specification.

As shown in Figure 1A, the user has logged into the mobile device 100 and the user's personal information, such as their profile, news feed, contacts, messages, preference, etc., is inaccessible. In an illustrative scenario, after the user logs in to the mobile device 100, touch sensors on the back of the mobile device 100 are able to detect that the user is holding the mobile device 100. In this example, even when the user would point the mobile device 100 on a cushion to view the screen 105 more comfortably, the mobile device 100 is still able to detect that the user is viewing the screen by performing periodic biometric identification as facial recognition using camera 110. However, at one point, the user turns away from the device (eg, to take a phone call or eat), and the mobile device 100 can detect that no one is viewing the screen. After a minute or so, the mobile device 100 can detect an event, that an unknown person (ie, someone other than the user) is viewing the screen, such as, for example, performing facial recognition. At this point, mobile device 100 can assess its status and determine that the information currently on the screen is of a personal nature. Mobile device 100 may determine that one or more access functions and / or interfaces of the mobile computing device should be blocked. Mobile device 100 can then update its lock status and present a lock screen to the unknown person, as illustrated in Figure 1B.

In particular embodiments, mobile device 100 may also attempt to use the facial recognition information to determine if mobile device 100 is capable of identifying the unknown person. In the case where a mobile device 100 is capable of identifying the unknown person (such as, for example,

<img file="MX347013B_D0008.tif" />

the user's wife, child, or friend), the mobile device 100 can

IMPI

INSTITUTO MEXICANO de la mofixda * INDUSTRIAL choose not to block its functions and / or access interfaces, or only block particular functions and / or access interfaces.

In particular embodiments, mobile device 100 can detect that an unknown person is viewing the screen, but by evaluating their status, mobile device 100 can determine that because no personal information is being displayed (for example, only in the window browser that presents the website for the New York Times newspaper), there is no immediate need to lock the screen. However, at this point, the mobile device 100 may check for activity on the device in order to detect if the unknown person is attempting to use the device in an unauthorized way (for example, the person may be allowed to scroll the page to up or down, but do not click on links within the website for the New York Times).

As shown in Figure 1B, the touch screen 105 presents the lock status 115 of the mobile device 100, as well as the information / login area 120. In particular modalities, the Information / login area 120 can summarize received updates on mobile device 100: "you have 3 notifications, 2 emails, and 1 friend request." The information / login area 120 also features a text entry field 125 for username entry, text entry field 130 for password entry, and a button to enter.

The login / information area 120 also features a biometric identification area 140 where the user can provide a thumb scan and displays instructions: "to unlock, login or press the right thumb against the designated area."

In another example, mobile device 100 can automatically lock its access interfaces when placed in a bag, holster, or other compartment (to prevent accidental user entry), and then unlock its access interfaces when removed from the compartment.

The steps involved in contextual locking / unlocking, as shown in Figure 1, are described in additional detail in Figure 2 and related text in the specification.

Figure 2 is a flow chart of an illustrative method for presenting social network information in conjunction with an image of a real world environment. In step 210, the particular modalities maintain social network information for a user represented by a username on a social graph.

At step 210, particular modes of a computing device associated with a user may detect an event at the computing device. The event may comprise one of two steps of a lock trigger event or an unlock trigger event. A lock trigger event can comprise any of a number of different events, such as

At step 220, the computing device can determine whether the user action was taken by the user of the computing device, or by someone else. This determination can be based on biometric identification. If the user action was taken by another person, the computing device can determine if the person is another user associated with the computing device such as an identified person associated with the user, or a stranger who is not known to the user and / or is not identifiable. In particular modalities, the computing device may determine that a third party is not authorized if the third party is not on a list of users authorized to use the computing device or if the third party is on a black list of users who are blocked. of the use of the computing device.

In particular embodiments, the computing device may also attempt to determine the identity of the third party based on the facial recognition data. In particular embodiments, the computing device can store facial recognition data for previous users of the computing device in association with requested identification information; For example, if a family member of the user has previously used the computing device, the computing device may have obtained a unique identifier, such as, for example, an email address in the user's name, and store unique identifier in

In particular embodiments, the computing device may also attempt to determine a unique identifier for the person by accessing information in a database that may be able to provide identifying information for a person based on facial recognition data. In particular modalities, the computing device can use such identification information for the person to determine whether the person is projected to the user with respect to a social network system.

In particular embodiments, once the computing device has identified the unknown person, the computing device may attempt to retrieve additional information associated with the now identified third party to help determine if it blocks all access to the computing device, or if it may be okay to leave some or all of the computing device's functions unlocked. For example, if the computing device identifies the third party as being the user's spouse, a trusted colleague of the user, or another registered user of the computing device, the computing device may not block any of its functions, or it may block access. only to some sensitive information or personal applications, or, in the case of another registered user of the computing device, you can simply put the compute state of the user on hold and provide a login interface for the other logged in user to start

session and use the device. In particular modalities, if the

IMPI

INSTITUTO MEXICANO Dt LA PROPERTY industrial third party is identified as a social network connection of the user (“a friend”), the computing device can use functionality to access a social graph associated with the social network system to determine how connected is the friend to the user. For example, the computing device may not block all or any of its functions if the third party is determined to be a close friend (eg, connected by a degree of separation from the social chart). In particular embodiments, the user may be able to set preferences regarding their social graph connections to assign different levels of blocking to the user's computing device. Such preferences can be based on any available social network information, for example, degree of separation threshold, group affiliation, family / domestic indicators, etc.

At step 230, particular modes of the computing device may access a device status in order to help determine whether and / or how to update the device lock status. For example, and not by way of limitation, accessing device status may include:

• determine the current lock status of the computing device - for example, is the device currently locked, partially locked, or unlocked?

• determine a location of the computing device, for

INDUSTRIAL example, according to GPS information, is the device currently in a location that corresponds to the user's home or office?

• determine a communications environment of the computing device, for example, is the device currently connected to a Wi-Fi network associated with the user's home or office?

• determine that other devices are in physical proximity to the computing device, for example, is the device capable of detecting the user's spouse's phone that is nearby?

• determine if a screen of the computing device is visible, for example, would another person be able to see what is being presented on the screen?

• determine what is being presented on the screen, for example, is there personal information that is being presented on the screen? Or publicly accessible content?

• determine a duration that the computing device was inactive, for example, the device has not been touched for the last three hours? (Such as, for example, may be the case if someone was watching the movie on the, but less likely if someone was in the middle of editing a document)?

• determine a duration since the computing device was last used by the user, for example, has it been an unusually long period of time since the user last accessed the device?

<img file="MX347013B_D0013.tif" />

In step 240, particular modalities of the computing device can access additional information related to the

• calendar information for the user, for example, in order to determine whether, on a particular day and at a particular time, the user is expected to be at home or in the office or elsewhere;

• user profile information, for example, in order to determine the user's home and work address;

• computing device configuration parameters, for example, in order to determine which networks, devices, and locations are designated as familiar;

• a usage history associated with the computing device, for example, in order to determine when the user typically uses the device.

At step 250, the particular modes of the computing device may verify additional activity on the device by the detected third party in order to help determine whether and / or how to update the device lock status. In particular modalities, once the computing device has identified that a third party is viewing the device, the computing device can verify activity on the device while

computation detects that the user of the device has returned and taken control of the device, in order to determine if the third party is attempting to access any information or functions on the device. In particular scenarios, such as, for example, if the user was watching a video and paused the video while taking a bathroom break, the computing device may determine that it is okay for the third party to see the screen but not that the third party try to use the device to access any of the functions on the device, if this were to happen when the computing device is checking for activity on the device, the computing device can then update its blocking state to block its access interfaces. In this case, when determining whether all access to the computing device is blocked, or whether it is okay to leave some or all functions of the computing device unlocked, the computing device may also consider what kind of activity was attempted by the third party. part.

In step 260, the particular modes of the computing device update a device lock state to lock or unlock one or more access interfaces of the device, lock or unlock one or more functions of the device, or block or allow access to particular content. or all content accessible from the computing device. Updating the lock status may also include registering the
