MASKING SENSITIVE INFORMATION IN A SCREEN SHARING SESSION
First Claim
1. A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to mask components of an application displayed during a screen sharing session, the instructions comprising:
- capturing a display of a first screen, which comprises a display of the application;
identifying a component of the application with a masking indication;
masking the component of the application identified with the masking indication, so that the component of the application identified with the masking indication is not visible;
transmitting the captured display to a second screen; and
displaying the captured display at the second screen, wherein the component of the application identified with the masking indication is not visible in the captured display displayed at the second 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.

18. A system comprising:
-
a screen capturer that captures a display of a first screen, which comprises a display of the application; an application component identifier that identifies a component of the application with a masking indication, wherein the application is displayed at a first screen; an application component masker that masks the component of the application identified with the masking indication, so that the component of the application identified with the masking indication is not visible; a transmitter that transmits the captured display to a second screen; and a display that displays the captured display at the second screen, wherein the component of the application identified with the masking indication is not visible in the captured display displayed at the second screen. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
