System and method for concealing sensitive data on a computing device
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for hiding sensitive information including when no one is looking at a display screen, the method comprising:
- determining, by one or more processors, that confidential or sensitive information is being displayed on a display screen of a computing device of a user;
collecting, by the one or more processors, image data from a front facing camera in communication with the computing device of the user;
determining, by the one or more processors, that zero people are viewing the display screen or that two or more people are viewing the display screen for more than a threshold duration of at least one second from computer analysis of the collected image data; and
blurring or obscuring, by the one or more processors, the confidential or sensitive information being displayed on the display screen when it is determined that the zero people are viewing the display screen or that the two or more people are viewing the display screen for more than the threshold duration.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method may hide sensitive information including when no one is looking at a display screen of a client computing device, such as sensitive information relating to auto, home, life, or renters insurance, banking, and/or vehicle loans. In one aspect, the method may determine that confidential or sensitive information is being displayed on a display screen of a computing device of a user. The method may also collect image data from a front facing camera in communication with the computing device, and determine that zero or two or more people are viewing the display screen for more than a threshold duration of at least one second. The method may further blur or obscure the confidential or sensitive information being displayed on the display screen when it is determined that the zero or two or more people are viewing the display screen for more than the threshold duration.

8. A computing or mobile device configured to hide sensitive information when no one, including the user, is looking at a display screen, the computing or mobile device comprising one or more processors configured to:
-
determine that confidential or sensitive information is being displayed on a display screen of the computing or mobile device of a user; collect image data from a front facing camera in communication with, or mounted on, the computing or mobile device of the user; determine that zero people are viewing the display screen or that two or more people are viewing the display screen for more than a threshold duration of at least one second from computer analysis of the collected image data; and blur or obscure the confidential or sensitive information being displayed on the display screen when it is determined that the zero people are viewing the display screen or that the two or more people are viewing the display screen for more than the threshold duration to facilitate protecting confidential or sensitive information from eavesdroppers. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable memory storing thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
-
determine that confidential or sensitive information is being displayed on a display screen of the computing or mobile device of a user; collect image data from a front facing camera in communication with, or mounted on, the computing or mobile device of the user; determine that zero people are viewing the display screen or that two or more people are viewing the display screen for more than a threshold duration of at least one second from computer analysis of the collected image data; and blur or obscure the confidential or sensitive information being displayed on the display screen when it is determined that the zero people are viewing the display screen or that the two or more people are viewing the display screen for more than the threshold duration to facilitate protecting confidential or sensitive information from eavesdroppers. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
