Abstract

A method for preventing photographic capture of a displayed image on an electronically controlled screen using a photographic capture device is provided. The method includes intercepting an image for display; generating a plurality of subset frames based on the intercepted image; dividing the intercepted image into a plurality of subsections; generating a pseudo random number on each of the subsections within the plurality of subsections using a pseudo random number generator; mapping, on each of the subset frames within the plurality of subset frames, a group of subsections within the plurality of subsections that share a common generated pseudo random number; determining a frame rate value for displaying the plurality of subset frames, which enables human visualization of the plurality of subset frames as a single perceived frame; and displaying each subset frame consecutively on the electronically controlled screen based on the determined frame rate.
