Selectively sharing screen data
First Claim
1. A method for selectively sharing screen data between a first computing device and a second computing device, the second computing device displaying the screen data of the first computing device, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) storing to a first location a first portion of screen data for one or more screen elements displayed on the first computing device;
(b) storing to a second location a second portion of screen data for a user interface element displayed on the first computing device; and
(c) transmitting the first portion of screen data stored in the first location to the second computing device.

Abstract
The present invention relates to systems and methods for providing screen sharing techniques to selectively share portions of the screen between a source node and a consumer node. The source node, such as the computer of a presenter of an online meeting, may transmit screen data to a consumer node, such as the computer of an attendee of the online meeting. The consumer or attendee computer uses the screen data to display the screen of the source or presenter'"'"'s computer. The techniques of the present invention provide a mechanism for not sharing a selective portion of the presenter'"'"'s screen during screen sharing. So, although a certain element may be displayed on the screen of the presenter, the present invention prevents an attendee from viewing the user interface element in the screen share session.
