Abstract

A system for controlling visual protection for a display unit includes a camera which is configured to generate a video signal; a video signal processing unit which is configured, based on the video signal of the camera, to determine a particular position of each of one or more persons relative to the display unit and to determine a particular viewing direction of one of the one or more persons; a database which is configured to generate a prediction for a behaviour of each of the one or more persons based on the particular position and viewing direction of each of the one or more persons detected by the video signal processing unit, wherein the prediction includes one or more predicted viewing directions of the particular person; and a display control unit which is configured to control the visual protection for the display unit based on the prediction.
