Publication number: 20150215535Abstract: A restriction system selectively restricts a camera on a communication device from recording an image. The system includes a barrier portion that engages the camera. The barrier portion moves along a camera proximal area to better engage the camera. The barrier portion moves in front of the camera to at least partially restrict the camera view and create a blocked position. The barrier portion also moves away from the camera view to enable the camera to record an image, in an open position. At least one barrier fastener helps secure a mounting surface on the barrier to the camera proximal area. A front surface of the barrier displays a decorative indicia. While in the open position an alert portion, such as colored stones, displays to signal that the camera is operable to capture images. This serves as a visual reminder. The alert portion is covered in the blocked position.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2014Publication date: July 30, 2015Inventor: Kazuki Takahashi
