Selective screen sharing
02 Mar 2021-
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present various examples for selective screen sharing, where a computing device determines that a state of a destination device does not satisfy a compliance rule of a management service and decides an area to obscure within a video stream using screen-sharing data.
Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for selective screen sharing. In one example, a computing device determines that a state of a destination device does not satisfy a compliance rule of a management service. The computing device also determines an area to obscure within a video stream using screen-sharing data. The video stream is generated by applying a transformation to a screen capture. The transformation obscures the area within the video stream. The video stream is transmitted to a destination device. In some cases, a user-specified modification to the area is also obtained. The video stream is updated by applying an updated transformation to the screen capture that obscures the updated area within the video stream.

TL;DR: In this article, a technique for sharing screen content of a host machine with a client machine includes identifying multiple screen regions formed by image features within screen contents of the host machine and enabling a user of the client machine to move selected screen regions to desired screen locations on the client machines, while leaving unselected screen regions in place.
Abstract: A technique for sharing screen content of a host machine with a client machine includes identifying multiple screen regions formed by image features within screen content of the host machine and enabling a user of the client machine to move selected screen regions to desired screen locations on the client machine, while leaving unselected screen regions in place. For example, when the user of the client machine selects and drags a particular screen region, the client machine creates a new window and displays the screen contents of the selected screen region in the new window, which the user may place and resize as desired.

TL;DR: In this article, a server-side rasterization of visual content is used to display visual content on a client device using client-side rendering of the visual content, and the client performs a browsing function assisted by the server.
Abstract: Embodiments relate to display of visual content on a client device using server-side rasterization of visual content. According to some embodiments, visual content is rendered on a server system, transformed into bitmaps compatible with the display attributes of a client device, and transmitted for display on the client device. The server system can perform, in effect, as a remote browser for displaying Web pages, e-mail, e-mail attachments, electronic document and forms, database queries and results, drawings, presentations, images at the client device, and so on. The approach can be “remote” because the server does the rendering and the client provides the interface; “multi-level” because rendered visual content is represented as a multi-level set of raster representations; and constitutes a “browsing system” because the client and server share data about the source visual content element being browsed, and the client performs a specific browsing function assisted by the server.

TL;DR: In this article, a system can mask specific components of an application, such as a web page, displayed during a screen sharing session, displayed on a first computer screen (i.e., screen).
Abstract: A system can mask specific components of an application, such as a web page, displayed during a screen sharing session. As the web page is being displayed on a first computer screen (i.e., screen), the system can automatically mask specific components of the web page. Thus, when the first screen is captured, and the capture is transmitted to a second screen, the specific components of the web page that have been masked will not be displayed at the second screen.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for allowing the user of an electronic device to enhance privacy over a display with the use of software, are disclosed. A security window including a translucent graphical effects region may be displayed on the electronic device such that it overlays content the user may choose to protect. The security window allows the protected content to remain discernable for the user of the device yet substantially indiscernible to a person at a further distance and/or greater viewing angle from the screen of the device. The user may control the size, shape, texture, translucency level and any other graphical or behavioral properties of the security window and graphical effects region. The user may invoke or terminate a security window with the single click of a button. Security windows may automatically attach to applications in focus, or be attached in response to a user command, and allow uninterrupted usability of those applications. Security windows may be associated with application types and may automatically be invoked in response to running processes associated with the application types. Security windows may be associated with email (e.g. displayed by a productivity application such as Microsoft Outlook®, or via any browser-based service such as GMail®, etc.) causing security windows to be automatically displayed in response to displaying emails that meet various criteria (e.g. from a specific sender, containing specific words, containing tags associated with security windows, etc.)

TL;DR: In this article, a screen sharing system that enables selective access to application data and application logic is described, which is implemented by coupling a helper application to an application that provides content referred to as content application.
Abstract: A screen sharing system that enables selective access to application data and application logic is described. This screen sharing system is implemented by coupling a helper application ( 36 ) to an application that provides content referred to as content application ( 35 ). The helper application is an application that has the ability to programmatically access the content application ( 35 ) using window system graphical user interface application programming interface. Helper application ( 36 ) is used to get and set content application data and interact with the content application using window system input events that simulate user input. This method enables selective access to both application data and application logic that is necessary for use in a screen sharing system used by participants that may be trusted or may not be fully trusted.
