Holographic Display Security via Dynamic Virtual Screen Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Holographic displays pose challenges in ensuring that confidential or sensitive information is not visible to unauthorized viewers due to their three-dimensional rendering, which can be seen from various angles and orientations, making it difficult to prevent unauthorized access in public or shared environments.
Innovation Solution
The system determines the security clearance of viewers within proximity of a holographic display and adjusts the rendering mode of the content based on their identity and clearance, using sensors to detect viewers and generate holographic obstructions or alter the content's position and size to obscure it from unauthorized individuals while maintaining visibility for authorized viewers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If holographic content is rendered in three-dimensional manner, then visibility and immersive experience are improved, but security and control over unauthorized viewing deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the holographic display into multiple virtual screens positioned at different locations and orientations. Each virtual screen can be independently controlled for security purposes, allowing the system to provide full 360-degree visibility while maintaining security by restricting access to specific segments based on viewer authorization levels.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extends the display from traditional two-dimensional or single-angle three-dimensional holography to multi-dimensional virtual screens arranged in three-dimensional space. This allows content to be viewed from multiple angles simultaneously while maintaining security control through selective rendering based on viewer position and authorization.
2Adaptability or versatility
If holographic content is made visible from multiple angles, then accessibility and user experience are improved, but security control and prevention of unauthorized access deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic security control where virtual screens are actively managed based on real-time viewer detection and authorization verification. The system continuously adjusts which virtual screens are rendered and to whom, allowing multiple viewing angles to be available while maintaining reliable security control through adaptive authorization checks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary authorization system that mediates between the holographic content and viewers. This intermediary layer verifies viewer credentials and determines which virtual screens each viewer can access, enabling multi-angle viewing while maintaining security control through the mediating authorization mechanism.
3Reliability
If security restrictions are imposed on holographic display, then unauthorized viewing is prevented, but visibility and accessibility for authorized users may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display into multiple virtual screens that can be selectively rendered to different viewers based on their authorization levels. This segmentation allows security restrictions to be applied to specific screen segments while other segments remain fully visible to authorized users, preventing the trade-off between security and visibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different security qualities to different regions of the holographic display. Each virtual screen can have its own security parameters and authorization requirements, allowing the system to maintain high security where needed while preserving full visibility and accessibility in other regions for authorized users.

AI summary
Embodiments for rendering holographic content by one or more processors are described. A security level associated with holographic content is determined. A security clearance associated with a viewer within a proximity of a holographic display is determined. The holographic content is caused to be rendered in a first mode or a second mode by the holographic display based on the determined security level associated with the holographic content and the determined security clearance associated with the viewer.
