DATA PROTECTION BASED ON USER AND GESTURE RECOGNITION

摘要

A computing device is described herein that automatically enters a data protection mode in response to determining that a certain number of persons are located proximate to the computing device,that an owner or authorized user is not located proximate to the computing device,or that a certain user gesture has or has not been recognized. When the device enters the data protection mode,sensitive data stored on the device is automatically rendered invisible and/or inaccessible to a user thereof. The sensitive data may be rendered invisible and/or inaccessible in a manner that is not likely to be apparent to the user of the computing device.
