PROXYING AN ACTIVE LINK FROM A SHARED COMPUTER
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- analyzing, via a computer processor, content on a computer screen of a presenter of a collaborative networking session;
identifying an active link in the content from the analyzing, the active link corresponding to an image of the active link for presentation on a computer screen of a computer of a participant of the collaborative networking session, wherein the content of the computer screen of the presenter is shared with the participant;
calculating a relative position of the active link with regard to the computer screen of the presenter using a two-dimensional coordinate system mapping process;
creating, via the computer processor, a reproduction of the active link from the image; and
placing the reproduction at a corresponding relative position on the computer screen of the participant, the reproduction on the computer screen of the participant being active and selectable during the collaborative networking session.

Abstract
Proxying an active link during a collaborative networking session includes analyzing content on a computer screen of a presenter of the collaborative networking session, and identifying the active link in the content. The active link corresponds to an image of the active link for presentation on a computer screen of a computer of a participant of the session. Proxying the active link also includes calculating a relative position of the active link with regard to the computer screen of the presenter using a two-dimensional coordinate system mapping process, creating a reproduction of the active link from the image, and placing the reproduction at a corresponding relative position on the computer screen of the participant. The reproduced active link on the computer screen of the participant is active and selectable during the session.
