METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SECURING DISPLAY OF CONFIDENTIAL CONTENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17940846 titled 'METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SECURING DISPLAY OF CONFIDENTIAL CONTENT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and system for securing the display of confidential content on an electronic device. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves displaying content on the screen of an electronic device.
  • When an event occurs to initiate a secure mode, the method detects it.
  • The method then determines which parts of the displayed content are confidential and which are not, based on a view priority score and a confidentiality score.
  • It also determines the viewing angle and distance of the user.
  • Finally, the method displays the confidential portions of the content based on the user's viewing angle and distance.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Protecting sensitive information displayed on electronic devices, such as personal data, financial information, or classified documents.
  • Enhancing privacy in public settings where others may try to view the screen.
  • Preventing unauthorized access to confidential content in case the device is lost or stolen.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures that only authorized users can view confidential content by adjusting the display based on their viewing angle and distance.
  • Reduces the risk of information leakage or unauthorized access to sensitive data.
  • Provides an additional layer of security for electronic devices, especially in public or shared environments.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved privacy and security for users of electronic devices.
  • Enhanced protection of confidential information from prying eyes.
  • Flexibility in adjusting the display based on the user's viewing angle and distance, ensuring optimal visibility for authorized users.
