Abstract
Systems and methods may provide to prevent user input capture. in one example, the method may include measuring an attribute based on a user's interaction with a user input component of a user input device, generating a user input signature based on the measured attribute, generating an obscuring signature based on the user input signature, and transmitting a control signal, based on the obscuring signature, to obscure a user's input activity and prevent user input capture.

A system, comprising:
- a computing device including:
- processing device;
- memory device having an application;
- and
- a user input device including:
- a user input component;
- a sensor configuration to measure an attribute based on a user's input activity with the user input component;
- a user input obscuring component to obscure the user's input activity;
- a user input analysis component;
- an analysis module to analyze the attribute based on a user's input activity and a user input criteria;
- an input signature module to generate a user input signature based on the user input criteria;
- an obscuring signature module to generate an obscuring signature based on the user input signature;
- and
- an instruction module to transmit a control signal based on the obscuring signature to the user input obscuring component.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a user input component;
- a sensor configuration to measure an attribute based on a user's input activity with the user input component;
- a user input obscuring component to obscure the user's input activity;
- and
- a user input analysis component;
- an analysis module to analyze the attribute based on a user's input activity and a user input criteria;
- an input signature module to generate a user input signature based on the user input criteria;
- an obscuring signature module to generate an obscuring signature based on the user input signature;
- and
- an instruction module to transmit a control signal based on the obscuring signature to the user input obscuring component.
A computer implemented method, comprising:
- analyzing an attribute based on a user's input activity and a user input criteria;
- generating a user input signature based on the user input criteria;
- generating an obscuring signature based on the user input signature;
- and
- transmitting a control signal based on the obscuring signature to a user input obscuring component.
At least one computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions which, if executed by a processor, cause a computer to:
- analyze an attribute based on a user's input activity and a user input criteria;
- generate a user input signature based on the user input criteria;
- generate an obscuring signature based on the user input signature;
- and
- transmit a control signal based on the obscuring signature to a user input obscuring component.
