User interface locking system

A method comprising:

• accessing sensor data associated with a user, as acquired by one or more sensors at a facility;
• identifying information comprising a first subset of confidential information associated with one or more users or one or more items in the facility;
• using the sensor data, determining an identity of the user in the facility;
• accessing lock parameters associated with the identity of the user, wherein:
• the lock parameters specify conditions under which a user interface of an interface device presents or excludes the first subset of confidential information and accepts or disables input, based on a specific category of a specific item;
• determining that the user has placed an item of the one or more items within a tote comprising the interface device, using the sensor data;
• determining a category of the item within the tote comprising the interface device, using the sensor data;
• determining the interface device is associated with the user based on association data;
• determining a first orientation of a body of the user relative to the interface device using the sensor data;
• determining a first lock state based on the lock parameters, information about the category of the item, and the first orientation, wherein
• the first lock state comprises information indicative of excluding presentation of the first subset of confidential information by the user interface of the interface device;
• based on the first lock state, generating user interface data for use in implementing the first lock state, wherein:
• the user interface data specifies the first subset of confidential information is to be excluded from presentation by one or more of obscuring, removing, or obfuscating the first subset of confidential information presented by the user interface of the interface device, and
• the user interface data further specifies one or more of processing or disregarding any input;
• and
• implementing the first lock state by obscuring, removing, or obfuscating the first subset of confidential information presented by the user interface of the interface device using the user interface data, wherein the interface device is a display device.

A system comprising:

• a plurality of imaging sensors configured to acquire image data related to a user from within a facility;
• a communication interface configured to communicate with an interface device;
• a memory, storing computer-executable instructions;
• a first hardware processor in communication with the plurality of imaging sensors, the communication interface, and the memory, wherein the first hardware processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
• identify information comprising a first subset of confidential information associated with one or more users or one or more items in the facility;
• determine an identity of the user using the image data;
• determine an orientation in space of a body of the user relative to the interface device using the image data;
• access lock parameters associated with the identity of the user, wherein the lock parameters at least partially specify conditions under which a user interface of the interface device presents or excludes the first subset of confidential information based on a specific category of a specific item;
• determine that the user has placed an item of the one or more items within a tote comprising the interface device, using the image data;
• determine a category of the item using the image data;
• determine the interface device is associated with the user based on association data;
• determine a lock state based on the lock parameters, the category of the item, and the orientation, wherein:
• the lock state comprises information indicative of excluding presentation of the first subset of confidential information by the user interface of the interface device;
• based on the lock state, generate instructions for use in implementing the lock state, wherein:
• the instructions specify the first subset of confidential information is to be excluded from presentation by one or more of obscuring, removing, or obfuscating the first subset of confidential information presented in the user interface of the interface device;
• and
• send, to the interface device, the instructions to implement the lock state by obscuring, removing, or obfuscating the first subset of confidential information presented by the user interface of the interface device, according to the instructions;
• and
• the interface device comprising:
• a display device;
• and
• a second hardware processor to process the instructions to:
• implement the lock state on the display device by obscuring, removing, or obfuscating the first subset of confidential information presented by the user interface on the display device.
