Protecting content on a mobile device from mining
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- identifying, by a first application running on a mobile device, a mining-restriction mark in frame buffer data for the mobile device, the mining-restriction mark having been inserted by a second application prior to output on the mobile device;
determining whether the mining-restriction mark prevents mining of content, wherein mining includes non-transient storage of a copy or derivations of the frame buffer data;
preventing the mining when the mining-restriction mark prevents mining;
determining a restriction for the data based on the mining-restriction mark when the mining-restriction mark does not prevent mining; and
providing the restriction with the data for further processing.

Abstract
Systems and methods prevent or restrict the mining of content on a mobile device. For example, a method may include identifying a mining-restriction mark in low order bits or high order bits in a frame buffer of a mobile device and determining whether the mining-restriction mark prevents mining of content. Mining includes non-transient storage of a copy or derivations of data in the frame buffer. The method may also include preventing the mining of data in the frame buffer when the mining-restriction mark prevents mining.

10. A method comprising:
-
identifying, by a first mobile application running on a mobile device, a mining-restriction mark in content generated by a second mobile application, determining whether the mining-restriction mark prevents mining of the content, wherein mining includes storage of a copy or derivations of the content generated by the second mobile application; preventing the mining when the mining-restriction mark prevents mining; determining a restriction for the content based on the mining-restriction mark when the mining-restriction mark does not prevent mining; and providing the restriction with the content for further processing. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
