Abstract
Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to displaying private user content (420) of a first user (430) on a large interactive display (410) of a multi-user interface. The visibility of the private user content is obstructed based on identifying a second user (440).
Claims14
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a device, cause the processor to:
- display private user content on an interactive display of a multi-user interface, the private user content associated with a first user;
- identify presence of a second user;
- and
- obstruct visibility of the private user content, wherein
- the private user content is classified according to different levels of privacy based on a type of content of the private user content, and
- the private user content having a higher level of privacy is obstructed at least one of at an earlier time as compared to user content having a lower level of privacy and at a threshold distance from the interactive display having a larger value than that of the private user content having a lower level of privacy;
- wherein the threshold distance is based on a position, current speed, and direction of movement of the second user;
- and
- wherein the threshold distance is further varied based on the speed and direction of movement of the second user.
6 more elements
A device comprising:
- a display module to transmit private user content to an interactive display of a multi-user interface;
- a classification module to classify at least one of stored and generated information as the private user content, the private user content associated with a first user;
- an identification module to identify a presence of a second user near the private user content displayed on the interactive display;
- and
- a visibility module to obstruct visibility of the private user content displayed on the interactive display, wherein
- the classification module is to classify the private user content according to different levels of privacy based on a type of content of the private user content, and
- the private user content having a higher level of privacy is obstructed at least one of at an earlier time as compared to user content having a lower level of privacy and at a threshold distance from the interactive display having a larger value than that of the private user content having a lower level of privacy,
- wherein the threshold distance is based on a position, current speed, and direction of movement of the second user;
- and
- wherein the threshold distance is further varied based on the speed and direction of movement of the second user.
7 more elements
A user detection method, comprising:
- associating private user content displayed on an interactive display of a multi-user interface with a first user;
- identifying a second user at a location near the interactive display;
- and
- obstructing the private user content if a distance between the location of the second user and the private user content on the interactive display is less than a threshold distance, wherein:
- the threshold distance is based on a position, current speed, and direction of movement of the second user;
- wherein the threshold distance is varied based on the speed and direction of movement of the second user;
- the private user content is classified according to different levels of privacy based on a type of content of the private user content, and
- the private user content having a higher level of privacy is obstructed at least one of at an earlier time and at the threshold distance having a larger value than that of the private user content having a lower level of privacy.
