  • Publication number: 20230281285
    Abstract: Example electronic devices are disclosed. In some examples, the electronic device includes a display panel, an image sensor, and a controller coupled to the image sensor. The controller is to use the image sensor to detect an interaction between a first viewer of the display panel and a second viewer of the display panel. In addition, the controller is to determine whether the second viewer is authorized to view information presented on the display panel based on the interaction. Further, the controller is to adjust a presentation of the information on the display panel based on the determination.

  • Patent number: 11363183
    Abstract: An example apparatus includes a camera cover connected to a housing; a linkage mechanism actuated by the camera cover; and a camera connected to the linkage mechanism. The camera is retained in the housing during a fingerprint-sensing mode. The camera is to extend above the camera cover in a media-capturing mode via the linkage mechanism based on a sliding movement of the camera cover. A light source may be provided under the camera cover to emit light. A lens may direct the light towards the camera cover. The camera cover may be transparent to permit the light to be directed towards a fingerprint positioned over the camera cover. The camera may be positioned under the camera cover to capture an image of the fingerprint. The camera cover may be positioned to retain the camera under the camera cover prior to slidable movement of the camera cover.

  • Publication number: 20210406358
    Abstract: Examples techniques to control access to sensors of computing devices are described. In an example, a request to access a data of a first sensor is received. A physical condition defined for permitting access to the data of the first sensor is determined via a second sensor. The access to the data of the first sensor is controlled based on the physical condition.
