Abstract
A device receives position information from a sensor of the device, wherein the position information indicates a position of a user of the device and a position of a person proximate to the user. The device receives lighting information from the sensor, wherein the lighting information indicates lighting conditions around the device and the user. The device calculates a position adjustment for an infrared element of the device based on the position information and the lighting information, and calculates an intensity adjustment for the infrared element based on the position information and the lighting information. The device receives, via an input element of the device, input data provided by the user, and implements the position adjustment and the intensity adjustment to enable the infrared element, when illuminated, to reflect light away from the input element and to prevent image or video capture of the input data.
