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.

A screen sharing function enables a main executable application, which typically uses more than one monitor, to switch to single-monitor usage as necessary to allow a user to directly interact with other applications that the main executable application invokes. A system including multiple display monitors for displaying multiple user interface image windows associated with corresponding multiple executable applications employs an image format determination system. The image format determination system includes an input processor for receiving command data representing a command to initiate execution of a function of a second application and display of an associated second image window in response to user entry of a command via a first image window associated with a first application. An image format selection processor, in response to the received command data, automatically initiates reduction in size of the first image window to fit a screen of the multiple display monitors and to prevent mutual overlap of the reduced size first image window and the second image window. A display processor initiates generation of data representing the reduced size first image window and the second image window, for presentation on the multiple display monitors.

An apparatus for controlling a shared screen for shared applications, which can be shared, in a network system of a plurality of connected communication terminals, with other communication terminals when running on the terminals. The communication terminals include a window information acquiring portion for acquiring window information of the application to be shared while running on the terminals. Window controlling portion controls how windows are displayed on the communication terminals. The window controlling portion displays a window of shared space for displaying windows of shared applications collectively on the communication terminals. The windows of the shared applications are displayed as sub-windows in the window of shared space. For the “entire screen sharing type”, the apparatus includes a conference managing device having a conference information managing portion for managing information about communication terminals participating in those conferences, and shared screen controlling portion. An unused terminal for providing a shared screen is dynamically selected and provided. With the “application sharing method”, it can be recognized easily, whether a displayed application window is shared or unshared, and with the “entire screen sharing method”, a terminal for providing a shared screen can be selected optimally, so that the system resource can be used efficiently.
