Abstract
An approach is provided for controlling access to contents displayed on a mobile device. Based on a security rule, the contents are divided into first and second sets. A first user is authorized to access the first set and not authorized to access the second set. The first set is displayed on a physical, transparent, touch functionality-enabled first layer of a display of the mobile device. The second set is displayed on a physical, opaque, touch functionality-lacking second layer of the display. A security level of a second user is determined after the first user stops using and the second user starts using the mobile device. Based on the security level, the contents are modified so that item(s) are removed from the first set and placed in the second set and/or other item(s) are removed from the second set and placed in the first set.
