Context based management for secure augmented reality applications

A system comprising a device and server:

• the device including:
• a secure memory;
• a camera, the camera including a secure mode of operation and a display;
• an image processing module configured to convert image data from the camera to encoded data when the camera is in the secure mode and protect image data stored in the memory, wherein the secure memory is configured to protect the image data by preventing unauthorized applications and devices from accessing data stored in the secure memory;
• an encryption module configured to encrypt encoded data from the image processing module;
• and
• a protected audiovisual path mechanism configured to securely transmit augmented encoded data to the display;
• and
• the server including:
• a first module, executable by one or more processors, to determine the device is in a protected area is powered on;
• a radio transceiver to receive encrypted encoded image data from the device;
• a decryption module to decrypt the encrypted encoded image data to produce encoded data;
• an augmented reality module to augment the encoded data to produce augmented data that provides a view of the encoded data overlaid with augmentation data when presented with a display device;
• and
• wherein the radio transceiver transmits the augmented data to the device.

A system comprising:

• a first machine readable storage device that stores instructions, the instructions, which when performed by a first machine, cause the first machine to perform operations comprising:
• determining a device including a camera in a protected area is turned on;
• placing the device in a secure camera mode;
• permitting a server access to the data produced by the camera when the camera is in the secure camera mode;
• encoding image data captured by the camera in the protected area with an image processing module to create encoded data;
• encrypting the encoded data to create encrypted encoded image data;
• and
• providing the encrypted encoded data to a second machine;
• a second machine readable storage device that stores instructions, the instructions, which when performed by a second machine, cause the second machine to perform operations comprising:
• receive the encrypted encoded image data from the device;
• decrypt the encoded and encrypted image data to produce other encoded data;
• augment the other encoded data to produce augmented data that provides a view of the encoded data overlaid with augmentation data when presented with a display device;
• and
• provide the augmented data to the device.
