Abstract
A system for and method of providing enhanced copy protection on a reader device in accordance with exemplary embodiments may include detecting orientation data that indicates an orientation of a display screen of the reader device with reference to a horizontal surface, processing the orientation data to determine whether the orientation of the display screen of the reader device is such that the display screen is facing and aligned with the horizontal surface, and restricting display of electronic content on the display screen of the reader device based on a determination that the display screen is facing and aligned with the horizontal surface.
Claims28
A computer-implemented method of providing enhanced copy protection on a reader device, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- detecting orientation data that indicates an orientation of a display screen of the reader device with reference to a horizontal surface;
- processing the orientation data to determine whether the orientation of the display screen of the reader device is such that the display screen is facing and aligned with the horizontal surface;
- and
- restricting display of electronic content on the display screen of the reader device based on a determination that the display screen is facing and aligned with the horizontal surface.
A computer-implemented system for providing enhanced copy protection on a reader device, the computer-implemented system comprising:
- a copy detection computing apparatus configured to detect orientation data that indicates an orientation of a display screen of the reader device with reference to a horizontal surface and process the orientation data to determine whether the orientation of the display screen of the reader device is such that the display screen is facing and aligned with the horizontal surface;
- and
- a copy protection computing apparatus configured to restrict display of electronic content on the display screen of the reader device based on a determination that the display screen is facing and aligned with the horizontal surface.
