Abstract

Systems and methods for restricting a first computing device's output of information. The methods comprise: receiving, at the first computing device, information and at least one viewing restriction set for the information; collecting situational awareness information by the first computing device; using the situational awareness information to determine if the at least one viewing restriction is satisfied; and displaying the information on a screen of the first computing device if a determination is made that the at least one viewing restriction is satisfied or preventing the displaying of the information if a determination is made that the at least one viewing restriction is not satisfied.

Claims32

Dependent claims

A method for restricting a first computing device's output of information, comprising:

receiving, at the first computing device, information and at least one viewing restriction set for the information;
collecting situational awareness information by the first computing device;
using the situational awareness information to determine if the at least one viewing restriction is satisfied;
and
displaying the information on a screen of the first computing device if a determination is made that the at least one viewing restriction is satisfied or preventing the displaying of the information if a determination is made that the at least one viewing restriction is not satisfied.

2 more elements

A system, comprising:

a processor;
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising programming instructions that are configured to cause the processor to implement a method for restricting a first computing device's output of information, wherein the programming instructions comprise instructions to:
receive information and at least one viewing restriction set for the information;
collect situational awareness information by the first computing device;
use the situational awareness information to determine if the at least one viewing restriction is satisfied;
and
cause a display of the information on a screen of the first computing device if a determination is made that the at least one viewing restriction is satisfied or prevent the display of the information if a determination is made that the at least one viewing restriction is not satisfied.
