Efficiency

Safety

Visibility

    

Since Joe wants to modify the location permissions
for Bob, he first searches for Bob on the “Home
Screen” for social contacts. After he comes to
Bob’s profile, he clicks on Bob’s icon/photo and
comes to this screen. Here he view the amount
and type of information that Bob can view about
<ac:structured-macro ac:name="unmigrated-wiki-markup" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="a26442ea22491755-386b1d58-47a04c2b-90fc8a6e-9f80e79207c1a254dfad7fe7"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[him. [Note: Suppose that during the trip Joe
]]></ac:plain-text-body></ac:structured-macro>
allowed Bob to view his aggregated information.]
Joe can see that Bob can see his current location
as the lat/long in Cambridge, MA (his current
location). He also sees the pie chart/wheel that
describes the categorization of places that Bob
was able to view about him. He can now choose
to modify the permissions by clicking on the button
called “Modify Permissions” or can choose to
return by clicking “Cancel”. Once he clicks “Modify
Permissions”, he taken to the permissions sketch
described in task 1.

Pros:

Cons:

The task is not very easy to learn in these two slides, since the bulk of the editing happens in the permissions screen.

Pros:

Cons:

May be helpful to have a "Cancel
This Option" button beside the
specific/aggregate information
display. That way, the user does not have to go to the permissions
screen to cancel aggregation option (for example).

Pros:

Cons:

No irreversible action possible in these two screens.

Pros:

Cons:

The data that the
social contact (user's
friend, for example) can see is very visible
and easy to understand.
