A method for operating an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: entering a content sharing mode capable of sharing content with a first electronic device; outputting first content shared with the first electronic device; entering a content sharing mode capable of sharing content with a second electronic device; determining the authority to decide a display layout, with respect to the second electronic device; transmitting display layout information to the second electronic device upon determining that the second electronic device has the authority to decide the display layout; and receiving, from the second electronic device, display layout determination information including information on output positions of content shared with the first and second electronic devices. Accordingly, it is possible to provide various optimized display layouts of a screen displaying content of connected electronic devices.

In an approach to managing obfuscation of regulated sensitive data, one or more computer processors detect content for display on a computing device. One or more computer processors analyze the content for sensitive data. One or more computer processors retrieve one or more applicable regulations, where the regulations are associated with displaying sensitive data. One or more computer processors determine a location on the display for obfuscating the sensitive data in the content, based on the retrieved one or more applicable regulations. One or more computer processors identify one or more context rules applicable to the sensitive data in the content. One or more computer processors determine the one or more context rules override the one or more applicable regulations. One or more computer processors display the sensitive data in the content.

A display device employs a patterned quantum rod layer having pixel elements driven by pixel splitting to generate a privacy viewing mode. The display device includes a patterned quantum rod layer having first pixel elements including first quantum rods wherein the first quantum rods are aligned in a first alignment direction, and second pixel elements including second quantum rods wherein the second quantum rods are aligned in a second alignment direction different from the first alignment direction. An electronic controller is configured to perform pixel splitting whereby the electronic controller drives the first pixel elements and the second pixel elements such that the patterned quantum rod layer has an off-axis luminance different from an on-axis luminance to generate a privacy viewing mode. The first alignment direction may be oriented 90° relative to the second alignment direction.

A method, system and computer-usable medium for adaptively remediating multivariate risk, comprising: detecting a violation of a multivariate security policy, the multivariate security policy comprising a plurality of variables; identifying a variable from the plurality of variables associated with a cause of the violation; associating an entity with the variable associated with the cause of the violation; and, adaptively remediating a risk associated with the entity.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for detecting a presence of a malicious application are disclosed. In an example, a method includes determining a prediction for human user interaction with webpage content of a website by identifying webpage elements in the webpage content, where the webpage elements are for human user interaction, and determining at least one of spatial density of cursor movements or cursor velocity vectors relative to the webpage elements that are indicative of human user interaction with the webpage content. The method further includes using the prediction for human user interaction with the webpage content to determine if received webpage interaction information from a client device is indicative of a presence of a malicious application. The method provides an indication of the presence of the malicious application if the received interaction information is indicative of the presence of a malicious application.

The present disclosure involves preventing unauthorized recording of visual content displayed on an electronic device. Via a mobile computing device, it is detected that a user is attempting to digitally record visual content being displayed on a screen of the mobile computing device. Via the mobile computing device, at least one of the following actions is performed in response to the detecting: obfuscating the visual content; restarting the mobile computing device before the visual content is recorded; playing a loud audio signal via the mobile computing device before the visual content is recorded; and temporarily disabling a screenshot function of the mobile computing device.

A directional display apparatus including a directional display device that is capable of directing a displayed image into a viewing window of variable width is provided with a privacy control function. A control system detects the presence of one or more secondary viewers in addition to a primary viewer, and decides whether the one or more secondary viewers is permitted to view the displayed image. The control system directs a displayed image into a viewing window which is adjusted, for example by decreasing the width, in dependence on that detection. In addition, the control system detects relative movement between the primary viewer and the display device, and the width of the viewing window is increased in response to detection of said relative movement.

An intrusion detection system detects when an unexpected person enters the environment of a user who is in a meeting. A privacy protection action which is an action that is to be taken in response to the detected intrusion, is identified. Audio and/or video systems are then controlled to perform the privacy protection action. Machine learning can be used, based upon user interactions, to improve intrusion detection and other parts of the system.

Disclosed is a method of providing a security service. The method is configured to include the steps of receiving a link connectable to a web page from a device of a user, connecting to a web page corresponding to the link through a remote browser and determining a risk of the connected web page, rendering a screen of the web page to be processed in the remote browser according to the determined risk, and streaming and transmitting the rendered web page screen to provide substantially the same user experience (UX) as a browser installed in the device.

A safety determining apparatus includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to acquire information on a user operation and an access target of the user operation, acquire information indicating a behavior of refraining from gaining access with respect to the access target by analyzing the user operation, and provide a user with information on the safety of the access target with respect to which the behavior has been executed.
