Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 7:
8. A system that disables an interface with an image sensor based on a pixelated comparison of digital images, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory device storing instructions that when executed by processor perform operations including:
receiving an output photoelectrically generated by the image sensor;
generating a digital image frame based on the output photoelectrically generated by the image sensor;
comparing pixels associated with the digital image frame to a shutter reference image associated with a shutter mechanism;
in response to the pixels associated with the digital image frame matching the shutter reference image associated with the shutter mechanism, determining the shutter mechanism is partially open and allowing a light to enter the image sensor; and
in response to the determining that the shutter mechanism is partially open, preventing the receiving of the output photoelectrically generated by the image sensor by disabling the interface with the image sensor.
