Abstract

In an embodiment, a system includes a processor with at least one core to execute an application to provide intrusion detection and protection, a radar sensor to detect presence of one or more persons within a detection zone about the system and to output a detection notification responsive to the presence detection, and a peripheral controller coupled to the radar sensor to receive the detection notification and to provide the detection notification to the application, where the application is to cause a protection measure to be performed responsive to the detection notification. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system comprising:
a processor including at least one core to execute an application to provide intrusion detection and protection;
a sensor to detect presence of at least one person within a detection zone about the system and to output a detection notification responsive to the presence detection, the at least one person separate from a user of the system;
a controller coupled to the sensor to receive the detection notification and to provide the detection notification to the application, wherein the application is to cause a protection measure to be performed responsive to the detection notification;
at least one wireless circuit to enable short-range wireless communication;
a GPS sensor;
a near field communication circuit to enable near field communication with another device; and
a display to display information, wherein in response to the detection notification, the display is to display an image of the at least one person, and to obscure sensitive information.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor comprises a capture device.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the capture device comprises a video capture device.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the capture device comprises a camera.

5. The system of claim 2 , wherein the capture device is to capture the image of the at least one person.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is to monitor for eye gaze of the at least one person.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one wireless circuit is further to enable wireless local area network wireless communication.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one wireless circuit is further to enable wireless wide area network communication.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the display comprises a touch screen display.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is to receive wireless power transfer via the near field communication circuit.

11. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a microphone to receive voice input, the processor to control one or more operations of the system based at least in part on the voice input.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the display is to highlight at least a portion of the at least one person.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the protection measure comprises the display of the image of the at least one person.

14. A mobile phone comprising:
a processor including at least one core to execute an application to provide intrusion detection and protection;
a sensor to detect presence of at least one person within a detection zone about the mobile phone and to output a detection notification responsive to the presence detection, the at least one person separate from a user of the mobile phone;
a controller coupled to the sensor to receive the detection notification and to provide the detection notification to the application;
at least one wireless circuit to enable short-range wireless communication;
a GPS sensor;
a near field communication circuit to enable near field communication with another device; and
a display to display information including sensitive information, wherein in response to the detection notification, the application is to cause the display to obscure the sensitive information, and to cause the display to display an image of the at least one person.

15. The mobile phone of claim 14 , wherein in response to the detection notification, the display is to highlight at least a portion of the at least one person.

16. The mobile phone of claim 14 , wherein:
in response to a first detection notification when the at least one person enters a first detection zone about the mobile phone, the display is to display an alert comprising a warning message; and
in response to a second detection notification when the at least one person enters a second detection zone about the mobile phone, the display is to display the image of the at least one person.

17. The mobile phone of claim 14 , wherein the display comprises a touchscreen.

18. The mobile phone of claim 14 , wherein the mobile phone is to communicate video information to a remote system, and in response to the detection notification, the mobile phone is to communicate the video information with an obscured image of the at least one person.
