Abstract

In this paper we discuss how to configure a ubiquitous environment in such a way that diverging privacy requirements in a multi user environment can be satisfied. I.e. we are investigating how to make sure that concerned as well as open minded users can be satisfied, at the same time at the same place. In order to reduce overhead and increase granularity of objects to be managed we propose to cluster all available sensors to what we call virtual sensors. All further operations such as allowing or suppressing sensor data are done on the virtual sensors. This concept allows to adapt the environment to diverging needs of several users automatically. Users are enabled to configure the environment by a one stop approach. We will introduce the concept of virtual sensors and discuss our privacy management architecture that exploits this virtual sensor concept to adapt a pervasive system to contradicting privacy requirements.
