The present invention allows for the creation of a biometrically secure environment that allows viewing, editing and sharing of confidential documents, or the like, in public places, without worrying that someone will see the contents. The invention provides privacy, for example for the purposes of reading documents, in a
public environment while having the confidence that you are the only one able to read the document. Privacy may be achieved through methods of identification using biometric features, such as: face, iris or voice recognition.
Verification that a real person is viewing the document may also be achieved by pulse recognition. In one embodiment, the screen will
shut down when more than one person looks directly at the screen. In different embodiments, the present invention may use voice recognition, print behavior, iris scan,
finger print,
face verification, etc. A control panel and
dashboard may be used, and
liveness check or activity audit may be performed. In further embodiments, a document may be securely shared with groups of recipients; a user may be authenticated while video chatting; voice commands may be used to upload, share, send, and open documents; commands may be provided to allow for documents to be read out loud; documents that are shared during
screen sharing during a video conference session may be logged; and documents may be scanned and uploaded into the
system.
