DYNAMIC APPLICATION HIDING

摘要

In an approach to enhancing the security features of user interfaces of computing devices, a computing device repeatedly detects environmental cues in its vicinity. The computing device determines the presence of a threat based on matching at least one of the detected environmental cues with one or more stored threat criteria. The computing device determines the presence of one or more sensitive applications on a user interface. Having determined the presence of one or more sensitive applications on the user interface, the computing device hides the one or more sensitive applications.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for dynamic application hiding, the method comprising:
detecting, repeatedly, by one or more processors, environmental cues in a vicinity of a computing device; determining, by one or more processors, the presence of a threat based on matching at least one of the detected environmental cues with one or more stored threat criteria; determining, by one or more processors, the presence of one or more sensitive applications on a user interface; and hiding, responsive to determining the presence of the threat, by one or more processors, the one or more sensitive applications.
