EXTERNAL MONITOR TO HAVE RAPIDLY PRIVACY PROTECTION WHICH LINKS WITH NOTEBOOK PRIVACY (PANEL) MODE
As notebook application, usually has external monitor for higher resolution or larger screen, and multiple
displays for several operations or applications. Based on current notebook privacy mode, it only effects internal monitor
(notebook display), it can’t control external monitor display behavior. Once end‐user switch to privacy mode, only
internal monitor entry privacy mode.
The invention concept of “xternal Monitor to have rapidly privacy concept”was to extend privacy solution to
involve external monitor. It will have better privacy behavior which considers the external monitor behavior in privacy

Yes, I know this IoT Device Might Invade my Privacy, but I Love it Anyway! A Study of Saudi Arabian Perceptions
The Internet of Things (IoT) ability to monitor our every move raises many privacy concerns. This paper reports on a study to assess current awareness of privacy implications of IoT devices amongst Saudi Arabians. We found that even when users are aware of the potential for privacy invasion, their need for the convenience these devices afford leads them to discount this potential and to ignore any concerns they might initially have had. We then conclude by making some predictions about the direction the IoT field will take in the next 5-7 years, in terms of privacy invasion, protection and awareness
Implanting Life-Cycle Privacy Policies in a Context Database
Ambient intelligence (AmI) environments continuously monitor surrounding individuals' context (e.g., location, activity, etc.) to make existing applications smarter, i.e., make decision without requiring user interaction. Such AmI smartness ability is tightly coupled to quantity and quality of the available (past and present) context. However, context is often linked to an individual (e.g., location of a given person) and as such falls under privacy directives. The goal of this paper is to enable the difficult wedding of privacy (automatically fulfilling users' privacy whishes) and smartness in the AmI. interestingly, privacy requirements in the AmI are different from traditional environments, where systems usually manage durable data (e.g., medical or banking information), collected and updated trustfully either by the donor herself, her doctor, or an employee of her bank. Therefore, proper information disclosure to third parties constitutes a major privacy concern in the traditional studies
User Perceptions of Smart Home IoT Privacy
Smart home Internet of Things (IoT) devices are rapidly increasing in
popularity, with more households including Internet-connected devices that
continuously monitor user activities. In this study, we conduct eleven
semi-structured interviews with smart home owners, investigating their reasons
for purchasing IoT devices, perceptions of smart home privacy risks, and
actions taken to protect their privacy from those external to the home who
create, manage, track, or regulate IoT devices and/or their data. We note
several recurring themes. First, users' desires for convenience and
connectedness dictate their privacy-related behaviors for dealing with external
entities, such as device manufacturers, Internet Service Providers,
governments, and advertisers. Second, user opinions about external entities
collecting smart home data depend on perceived benefit from these entities.
Third, users trust IoT device manufacturers to protect their privacy but do not
verify that these protections are in place. Fourth, users are unaware of
privacy risks from inference algorithms operating on data from non-audio/visual
devices. These findings motivate several recommendations for device designers,
researchers, and industry standards to better match device privacy features to
the expectations and preferences of smart home owners.Comment: 20 pages, 1 tabl
Privacy, Driving Data and Automobile Insurance: An Economic Analysis
With new technologies that enable insurers to electronically monitor vehicles and drivers, insurers should be able to price automobile insurance more accurately, creating individualized prices for consumers. The welfare effects of lower prices are straightforward, but we also consider that consumers have heterogeneous valuations of privacy that they may lose if they adopt the monitoring technologies. We examine the voluntary market adoption of these monitoring technologies and its effect on equilibrium prices and welfare. We find a welfare effect equal to the loss in privacy, but conclude that the overall effect is ambiguous without considering moral hazard.Insurance, Privacy
Double Secret Protection: Bridging Federal and State Law To Protect Privacy Rights for Telemental and Mobile Health Users
Mental health care in the United States is plagued by stigma, cost, and access issues that prevent many people from seeking and continuing treatment for mental health conditions. Emergent technology, however, may offer a solution. Through telemental health, patients can connect with providers remotely—avoiding stigmatizing situations that can arise from traditional healthcare delivery, receiving more affordable care, and reaching providers across geographic boundaries. And with mobile health technology, people can use smart phone applications both to self-monitor their mental health and to communicate with their doctors. But people do not want to take advantage of telemental and mobile health unless their privacy is protected. After evaluating the applicability of current health information privacy law to these new forms of treatment, this Note proposes changes to the federal regime to protect privacy rights for telemental and mobile health users
