Anonymization pursuant to a broadcasted policy
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- an imaging device operable to capture an image depicting a class of subjects that may have a temporal presence in an area;
an anonymization device having a selector circuit operable to select an anonymization policy, the anonymization policy includes obscuring a property of the class of subjects depicted in the captured image;
a display device operable to display colored lights indicative of the selected anonymization policy to at least a portion of the area, the colored lights perceivable by a human as an aid for making a decision whether to remain in the area; and
an anonymization circuit operable to generate an anonymized image by applying the selected anonymization policy to an image captured by the imaging device and depicting a member of the class of subjects.

Abstract
Embodiments include a system, a device, an apparatus, a method, and a computer program product. An embodiment provides a system that includes an imaging device operable to capture an image depicting a member of a class of subjects that may have a temporal presence in an area. The system also includes an anonymization device having a selector circuit operable to select an anonymization policy. The anonymization policy includes obscuring a property of the class of subjects depicted in the captured image. The system further includes a broadcast device operable to display a human-perceivable indication of the selected anonymization policy to at least a portion of the area. The system also includes an anonymization circuit operable to generate an anonymized image by applying the selected anonymization policy to an image captured by the imaging device and depicting a member of the class of subjects.
