ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17987333 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic apparatus that includes a memory, a camera, and a processor. The memory stores security information for different privacy levels. The processor is responsible for controlling the electronic apparatus and is configured to identify the privacy level based on context information when an application involving the camera is executed. It then performs secure image processing on the obtained image, processing only the information corresponding to the identified privacy level.
- An electronic apparatus with memory, camera, and processor is provided.
- The memory stores security information for different privacy levels.
- The processor controls the electronic apparatus and identifies the privacy level based on context information when using the camera.
- Secure image processing is performed on the obtained image, processing only the information corresponding to the identified privacy level.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in smartphones, tablets, or other electronic devices with cameras to enhance privacy and security.
- It can be used in video conferencing applications to ensure that sensitive information is processed securely.
- This technology can be beneficial in surveillance systems, where different privacy levels need to be maintained for different areas or individuals.
Problems Solved
- This technology addresses the issue of privacy and security in applications involving cameras.
- It ensures that only the necessary information is processed securely, protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access.
- It allows for customizable privacy levels based on the context, providing flexibility in managing privacy settings.
Benefits
- Enhanced privacy and security for applications involving cameras.
- Customizable privacy levels based on context information.
- Efficient processing of images by focusing only on the necessary information, reducing computational overhead.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus including a memory in which security information for each of a plurality of privacy levels is stored, a camera and a processor connected to the memory and the camera to control the electronic apparatus, and the processor is configured to, based on an application which involves using the camera being executed, identify a privacy level among the plurality of privacy levels based on context information related to use of the application and perform image processing in association with an image obtained through the camera so that information corresponding to the identified privacy level from a plurality of pieces of information included in the image is processed in a secure manner.
