Technologies for presenting public and private images

Abstract

Technologies for displaying public and private images includes a display device and one or more user viewing devices. The display device is configured to display or generate a personalized image or video that is viewable by an authorized user viewing device and not viewable by unauthorized viewing devices. To facilitate the display of the personalized images, the display device and the user viewing device(s) may negotiate a display protocol to be used by the display device to display the personalized image in a private manner. In some embodiment, the display device may also display a public image or video that is viewable by unauthorized viewing devices and/or individuals without viewing devices.

         5 . The user viewing device of  claim 1 , wherein to facilitate the viewing of the personalized image comprises to facilitate the viewing of the personalized image by the user of the user viewing device based on the display protocol and a location of the user viewing device relative to the display device. 
     
     
         6 . The user viewing device of  claim 1 , wherein the display protocol comprises a display protocol (i) usable by the display device to obscure the personalized image on the display device and (ii) usable by the user viewing device to unobscured the personalized image on the user viewing device. 
     
     
         7 . The user viewing device of  claim 1 , further comprising a viewing lens, wherein the viewing lens comprises an adjustment mechanism to adjust a visual characteristic of the lens, and
 wherein the display protocol comprises a control protocol to control the adjustment mechanism of the viewing lens.   
     
     
         8 . The user viewing device of  claim 1 , wherein the display protocol is usable by the user viewing device to view the personalized image on a display of the display device,
 wherein the display protocol prevents viewing of the personalized image on the display of the display device by unauthorized viewing devices and allows viewing of a public image on the display of the display device by unauthorized viewing devices.   
     
     
         9 . A method of viewing a personalized image generated by a display device, the method comprising:
 determining, by a user viewing device, whether the display device is in a proximity to the user viewing device;   communicating, by the user viewing device, with the display device to authorize the user viewing device to view a personalized image generated by the display device in response to a determination that the display device is in the proximity;   establishing, by the user viewing device and with the display device, a display protocol usable by the user viewing device to view the personalized image; and   facilitating, by the user viewing device, the viewing of the personalized image by a user of the user viewing device based on the display protocol.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein facilitating the viewing of the personalized image comprises decrypting an encrypted personalized image based on the display protocol. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein facilitating the viewing of the personalized image comprises controlling a viewing lens of the user viewing device based on the display protocol to enable the user to view the personalized image displayed by the display device. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein facilitating the viewing of the personalized image comprises facilitating the viewing of the personalized image by the user of the user viewing device based on the display protocol and a location of the user viewing device relative to the display device. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the display protocol comprises a control protocol to control an adjustment mechanism of a viewing lens of the user viewing device. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the display protocol is usable by the user viewing device to view the personalized image on a display of the display device,
 wherein the display protocol prevents viewing of the personalized image on the display of the display device by unauthorized viewing devices and allows viewing of a public image on the display of the display device by unauthorized viewing devices.   
     
     
         15 . One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a user viewing device, causes the user viewing device to:
 determine whether a display device is in a proximity to the user viewing device;   communicate with the display device to authorize the user viewing device to view a personalized image generated by the display device in response to a determination that the display device is in the proximity;   establish, with the display device, a display protocol usable by the user viewing device to view the personalized image; and   facilitate the viewing of the personalized image by a user of the user viewing device based on the display protocol.   
     
     
         16 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 15 , wherein to facilitate the viewing of the personalized image comprises to decrypt an encrypted personalized image based on the display protocol. 
     
     
         17 .
