Patent Images
1. A system for discouraging screen capture, the system comprising:
- a processor configured to;
provide a first designated region of a display to a user to allow the user to view a first file;
detect a first location of a first finger of the user in the first designated region of the display;
display the first file when the first finger is held at the first location in the first designated region of the display;
detect a second location of the first finger;
determine whether the second location is located within the first designated region of the display by determining whether a distance between the first location and the second location is greater than a predetermined threshold;
indicate an attempted screen capture by the user when the distance is greater than the predetermined threshold; and
cease displaying the first file in response to the indication of the attempted screen capture by the user and a determination that the second location is outside the first designated region of the display; and
a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
