Method and apparatus for suspending screen sharing during confidential data entry
First Claim
1. A method for sharing image data between a source device and at least one receiving device, the method comprising:
- periodically sending image data of a shared screen to the at least one receiving device using a sharing connection;
receiving a request associated with activating a user interface component;
determining that the user interface component is configured to display confidential information;
in response to the determining that the user interface component is configured to display confidential information;
suspending updating of the image data responsive to the received request; and
periodically placing a single screen image in an image buffer, wherein the single screen image is generated periodically and the single screen image represents a last screen of the source device captured prior to suspending; and
periodically sending suspended image data to the at least one receiving device while updating is suspended, wherein the suspended image data includes the single screen image that represents the last screen of the source device captured prior to suspending.

Abstract
A method, transmitting device, and computer-readable storage medium are provided for sharing image data between a source device and at least one receiving device. In one implementation, a method is provided for periodically sending image data of a shared screen to the at least one receiving device using a sharing connection. The method also receives a request associated with activating a user interface component involving confidential information, suspends updating of the image data responsive to the received request, and periodically sends suspended image data to the at least one receiving device while updating is suspended.

15. A source device for sharing image data with at least one receiving device, the source device comprising:
-
one or more computer-readable storage media enabled to store instructions; and one or more processors enabled to execute the instructions, the executing of the instructions causing the source device to; periodically send image data of a shared screen to the at least one receiving device using a sharing connection; receive a request associated with activating a user interface component; determining that the user interface component is configured to display confidential information; in response to the determining that the user interface component is configured to display confidential information; suspend updating of the image data responsive to the received request; and periodically place a single screen image in an image buffer, wherein the single screen image is generated periodically and the single screen image represents a last screen of the source device captured prior to suspending; and periodically send suspended image data to the at least one receiving device while updating is suspended, wherein the suspended image data includes the single screen image that represents the last screen of the source device captured prior to suspending. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. One or more tangibly-embodied nontransitory computer-readable storage media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a source device, cause the source device to:
-
periodically send image data of a shared screen to at least one receiving device using a sharing connection; receive a request associated with activating a user interface component; determining that the user interface component is configured to display confidential information; in response to the determining that the user interface component is configured to display confidential information; suspend updating of the image data responsive to the received request; and periodically placing a single screen image in an image buffer, wherein the single screen image is generated periodically and the single screen image represents a last screen of the source device captured prior to suspending; and periodically send suspended image data to the at least one receiving device while updating is suspended, wherein the suspended image data includes the single screen image that represents the last screen of the source device captured prior to suspending. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
