Holographic Shielding for Mobile Display Privacy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing use of mobile devices for viewing confidential content in public places poses a risk of unauthorized access, as these devices often display sensitive information that can be seen by others, particularly with the advent of holographic displays which require protection from inappropriate viewers.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that uses mobile communications devices equipped with imaging modules, processing units, and holographic display capabilities to detect unauthorized presences and dynamically build three-dimensional holographic shielding images or walls to protect private content from view, employing cameras and sensors to assess the presence and positioning of individuals relative to the content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If holographic displays are used to enhance viewing experience, then the visual quality and engagement are improved, but the risk of unauthorized viewing of confidential content increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a holographic shielding wall as an intermediary element positioned between the confidential content and unauthorized viewers. This shielding wall acts as a mediator that blocks the line of sight to the holographic display, preventing unauthorized viewing while allowing authorized users to access the content normally.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the holographic display and shielding wall based on real-time detection of authorized and unauthorized presences. The shielding wall's position, transparency, and visibility are dynamically modified according to the detected environment, enabling the system to adapt between protective and accessible states as needed.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the holographic shielding wall is made more opaque to block all views, then the protection against unauthorized viewing is improved, but the visibility for authorized users deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The holographic shielding wall applies different transparency properties to different regions and conditions. The wall is more opaque when unauthorized presences are detected and less opaque when authorized users are present, allowing the system to locally adjust the balance between protection and visibility based on the specific viewing context.
Solution Approach 2:
The transparency of the shielding wall is dynamically adjusted based on real-time detection of authorized and unauthorized presences. The system transitions between opaque and transparent states as needed, ensuring maximum protection when required while maintaining content accessibility for authorized users.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If multiple holographic shielding walls are deployed to block views from multiple directions, then the comprehensive protection is improved, but the system complexity and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the protection system into multiple independent holographic shielding walls, each positioned to block views from specific directions. This segmentation allows the system to address threats from different angles independently, providing comprehensive protection while maintaining manageable system architecture through modular wall deployment.

AI summary
A method, system and computer program product for shielding objects from view are disclosed. In an embodiment, the method comprises detecting a specified presence around a given object; determining if the detected presence has authorization to view the given object; and when the detected presence does not have the authorization to view the given object, building a three dimensional holographic shielding image between the given object and the detected presence to shield the given object from the detected presence. In an embodiment, building the shielding image includes determining a position for the shielding image, and building the shielding image at the determined position. In an embodiment, a mobile communications device is used to build the holographic shielding image, and multiple cameras are installed in the mobile communications device to recognize placement of people in an area surrounding the given object.
