1. A method for protecting information on a user interface of a device, the method comprising:
- identifying, by the device, a viewing position of a person other than a user with respect to information on the user interface of the device;
determining, by the device, an information viewability threshold for the person based on the information cm the user interface, wherein the information viewability threshold is variable based on at least one of a viewability of the information as presented by the user interface or a characteristic of the person, and wherein determining the information viewability threshold for the person includes determining sensitivity of the information on the user interface and adjusting the viewability threshold based on the sensitivity of the information; and
performing, by the device, an action associated with the user interface based on the identified viewing position and a relationship of the identified viewing position to the determined information viewability threshold.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for protecting information on a user interface based on a viewability of the information are disclosed. According to one method, a viewing position of a person other than a user with respect to information on a user interface is identified. An information viewability threshold is determined based on the information on the user interface. Further, an action associated with the user interface is performed based on the identified viewing position and the determined information viewability threshold.
