Selective Interactive Content for Secure Screen Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing screen sharing technologies limit interaction operations on shared screen images, requiring separate file transfer for content manipulation, and lack security in sharing specific content items.
Innovation Solution
Implement mechanisms to send interactive content items alongside shared screen images, allowing recipients to perform operations like clicking, copying, and editing directly on text segments or links within the shared screen, while ensuring data security by only transmitting selected content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If screen sharing is implemented by transmitting the entire local screen as an image, then the shared content is complete and accurate, but interaction operations cannot be performed on the shared content and data security is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the screen sharing content into two parts: the entire screen image for display and specific content items (text, links, files) for interaction. This allows recipients to interact with selected content items while the screen remains visually complete, resolving the contradiction between interaction capability and data security.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts specific content items from the screen image and transmits them separately as interactive elements. This extraction enables interaction operations on these items while keeping the rest of the screen content non-interactive, thus maintaining data security while improving ease of operation.
2Loss of information
If the entire screen is shared as an image, then all content is visible to recipients, but recipients cannot perform interaction operations on the content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer of interactive content items that bridge the screen image and interaction operations. These content items serve as mediators that enable recipients to perform operations like clicking, copying, and editing on specific screen elements without requiring direct manipulation of the image itself.
3Ease of operation
If separate file transfer is used for content manipulation, then interaction operations are enabled, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges screen sharing and content interaction into a single integrated process. By embedding interactive content items directly within the screen sharing data stream, the system eliminates the need for separate file transfer operations, thus improving operation efficiency while maintaining interaction capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary extraction and preparation of content items from the screen before transmission. This preliminary action ensures that interactive elements are ready for immediate use by recipients, eliminating the need for subsequent file transfer and setup steps, thereby reducing time loss.
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure proposes methods, apparatuses, computer program products and non-transitory computer-readable mediums for providing interactive content in screen sharing. In an aspect, a shared screen image corresponding to a source screen may be generated (510). At least one target object in the shared screen image may be determined, the at least one target object corresponding to at least one source content item in the source screen (520). At least one interactive content item corresponding to the at least one target object may be determined (530). Screen sharing data may be transmitted, the screen sharing data comprising at least the shared screen image and the at least one interactive content item (540). In another aspect, screen sharing data may be received. The shared screen image may be presented. The at least one interactive content item may be presented on the shared screen image based on the configuration parameters.
