SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRIVACY PROTECTION FOR A HOST USER DEVICE

摘要

A system for privacy protection for a host user device having at least one sensor that includes a filter associated with a sensor, where the filter is configured to selectively operate in one of two states: a first state which enables effective sensor operation and a second state which disables effective sensor operation; a detector configured for detecting enablement input signals indicative of an attempt to operate said sensor; a notifier configured to indicate the detected attempt; and a module configured for receiving signals from the detector and for controlling the filter and the notifier. The module enables effective operation of the sensor according to at least one predefined rule upon receiving signals from said detector, by switching the filter to the first state and also enables switching the filter to the second state once the operation of the sensor is terminated.
