Selective viewing enablement system

A storage medium including machine readable coded indicia, said storage medium being selectively coupled to a reading device, said reading device being selectively coupled to processing circuitry within a computer system, said reading device being selectively operable to read said machine readable coded indicia and provide program signals representative thereof, said program signals being selectively operable for enabling selective viewing of designated information in one or more predetermined viewing areas within a display screen of a display device by:

• effecting an obscuration of said designated information at a predetermined frequency such that said designated information appears obscured on said display screen, said obscuration comprising a superimposition of obscuring indicia over said designated information;
• providing blocking signals for application to a viewing device, said viewing device being selectively operable for blocking a view of said predetermined viewing areas during said obscuration, said blocking being effected at said predetermined frequency whereby said designated information as viewed through said viewing device appears un-obscured to a user looking through said viewing device;
• and
• accomplishing an authentication process before enabling said blocking, said authentication process comprising receiving input from a user to insure that said user is authorized to use said viewing device.

A system for enabling selective viewing of designated information in one or more predetermined display areas within a display screen of a display device, said system comprising:

• a system bus;
• a CPU device connected to said system bus;
• memory means connected to said system bus;
• a display device connected to said system bus;
• and
• a viewing device coupled to said system bus, said system being selectively operable for effecting an obscuration of said designated information at a predetermined frequency such that said designated information appears obscured on said display screen, said obscuration comprising a superimposition of obscuring indicia over said designated information, said system being further operable for providing blocking signals for application to said viewing device, said viewing device being selectively operable for blocking a view through said viewing device of said predetermined viewable areas during said obscuration, said blocking being effected at said predetermined frequency whereby said designated information as viewed through said viewing device appears un-obscured to a user looking through said viewing device, said system being further operable for accomplishing an authentication process before enabling said blocking, said authentication process comprising receiving input from a user to insure that said user is authorized to use said viewing device.

A system for enabling selective viewing of designated information in one or more predetermined display areas within a display screen of a display device, said system comprising:

• a system bus;
• a CPU device connected to said system bus;
• memory means connected to said system bus;
• a display device connected to said system bus;
• and
• a viewing device coupled to said system bus, said system being selectively operable for effecting an obscuration of said designated information at a predetermined frequency such that said designated information appears obscured on said display screen, said obscuration comprising a superimposition of obscuring indicia over said designated information, said system being further operable for providing blocking signals for application to said viewing device, said viewing device being selectively operable for blocking a view through said viewing device of said predetermined viewable areas during said obscuration, said blocking being effected at said predetermined frequency whereby said designated information as viewed through said viewing device appears un-obscured to a user looking through said viewing device, said obscuration comprising an overlaying of predetermined decoy information in said predetermined viewable areas.
