Patent number: 10635289Abstract: Screen capture mitigation is disclosed. It is conveyed to a user that a received content item can be displayed in response to the user placing at least one finger on a display. A first finger in a first screen area of the display is detected. A second finger in a second screen area of the display is detected. The received content item is displayed in response to detecting the first finger in the first screen area and the second finger in the second screen area. A change in location of at least one of the first finger and the second finger is detected. In response to detecting the change, it is determined whether the change in the at least one of the first finger and the second finger is greater than a threshold. When the change is greater than the threshold, displaying the received content item is ceased.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2016Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Wickr Inc.Inventors: Thomas Michael Leavy, Robert Statica
