USER INTERFACE MANIPULATION IN A FLEXIBLE SCREEN DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240378325 titled 'USER INTERFACE MANIPULATION IN A FLEXIBLE SCREEN DEVICE
The patent application discusses user interface manipulation techniques that allow a user device to hide sensitive information on a flexible or foldable display from onlookers while maintaining accessibility for the primary user.
- The techniques manipulate the UI to be viewable as intended only at specific folding angles or viewing angles.
- The UI can be customized to promote a certain device configuration for optimum security in different surroundings.
- The display screen can adapt its form factor based on the sensitivity of the displayed content and the current surroundings.
Potential Applications: - Enhanced privacy for users working on sensitive information in public spaces. - Secure communication for professionals handling confidential data. - Customizable display settings for different user preferences.
Problems Solved: - Protecting sensitive information from unauthorized viewers. - Ensuring user privacy in shared or public environments.
Benefits: - Improved security and privacy for users. - Enhanced user experience with customizable display settings. - Increased usability of flexible and foldable displays.
Commercial Applications: Title: Secure Display Technology for Sensitive Information Protection This technology can be applied in industries such as finance, healthcare, and government where data privacy is crucial. It can also be integrated into consumer electronics for enhanced privacy features.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include research on display privacy filters and screen protectors that limit viewing angles.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in flexible display technology and privacy features for user devices.
Questions about Secure Display Technology: 1. How does this technology differ from traditional screen protectors in terms of privacy protection? This technology goes beyond physical screen protectors by dynamically adjusting the display based on the user's surroundings and sensitivity of the information displayed.
2. Can this technology be integrated into existing devices, or is it designed for specific new hardware? This technology can potentially be integrated into existing devices through software updates or as a feature in new hardware models.
Original Abstract Submitted
user interface (ui) manipulation techniques are disclosed that can allow a user device to hide and obscure sensitive information displayed on a flexible, foldable, or otherwise reconfigurable display from onlookers whilst maintaining or improving its accessibility exclusively to the primary user. examples of the disclosed techniques can manipulate the ui in a way such that it is largely only viewable as intended when the user device is physically configured to a certain folding angle (and/or viewing angle). in some examples, the ui can be customized such that it promotes a certain device configuration (e.g., folding angle) that can provide an optimum security configuration for the user's current surroundings. the ui displayed on the display screen can change in form factor (e.g., an intended size as viewed by the user) to adapt to the current surroundings and/or based on the sensitivity in the displayed content.
