SECURING DISPLAYED DATA ON COMPUTING DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134951 titled 'SECURING DISPLAYED DATA ON COMPUTING DEVICES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a technique for securing displayed data on computing devices by utilizing facial recognition technology. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- Upon unlocking the computing device, the camera captures an image of a human face in the field of view.
- Facial attributes of the human face are analyzed to determine if it belongs to an authorized user.
- If the face does not belong to an authorized user, user data is converted to a new language for display on the screen, ensuring security even when the device is unlocked.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in secure data display systems, access control systems, and privacy protection features for computing devices.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of unauthorized access to sensitive data on unlocked computing devices.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhanced security for displayed data, protection of user privacy, and prevention of unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include secure smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other computing devices that require advanced security features for data protection.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be facial recognition technology used for device unlocking or access control systems.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does the technology handle scenarios where multiple faces are detected in the field of view? 2. What measures are in place to prevent false positives in determining authorized users based on facial recognition?
Original Abstract Submitted
techniques for securing displayed data on computing devices are disclosed. one example technique includes upon determining that the computing device is unlocked, capturing and analyzing an image in a field of view of the camera of the computing device to determine whether the image includes a human face. in response to determining that the image includes a human face, the technique includes determining facial attributes of the human face in the image via facial recognition and whether the human face is that of an authorized user of the computing device. in response to determining that the human face is not one of an authorized user of the computing device, the technique includes converting user data on the computing device from an original language to a new language to output on a display of the computing device, thereby securing the displayed user data even when the computing device is unlocked.
