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="b689dd18dfdc7a2a-7dd23b73-4e224e0e-a97c8179-226c4fdfc9e994c45de16845"><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.

Since this task started with Joe seeing an offer from Rei,
he is led to this sketch by clicking on Rei’s icon in the
screen described in task 3 (that shows the two offers
provided by Rei). In this screen, Joe can view the
 current and aggregate information that Rei is able to
view about Joe. Since a commercial contact is not
editable by Joe (it was tied to the specific offer), he
can only choose to continue sharing the information
 or delete the contact. If he happens to accept
multiple offers from Rei (that require different types
and/or amounts of location information), this screen
would show a summary of entire information set
 that he is sharing with that one store. In that case,
clicking on “Delete Contact” will stop Rei from accessing
any of the pieces of information it was able to access
previously.

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:

What if the user wants to
share a subset of
information with Rei? This
design describes an
all-or-nothing approach.

Pros:

Cons:

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