Abstract
Methods and systems can protect information shown on a screen of a device. A user associated with the device can be authenticated, e.g., using photo identification of the user. In response to authenticating the user, data can be displayed on the device. A camera associated with the device can be automatically activated to take one or more images in response to a triggering event, a predetermined time interval, or randomly generated time intervals. An enhanced privacy environment is detected by analyzing the one or more images to identify that there are more than a threshold number of faces or people in the picture, or by identifying that the user is not in the picture based on a comparison of the picture to the photo identification of the user. In response to detecting the enhanced privacy environment, a privacy mode is enabled. The privacy mode can include various security measures such as concealing sensitive content or providing various security notifications.
