CONTENT PROJECTION OVER DEVICE LOCK SCREEN

摘要

Embodiments are directed to displaying content projected from a source computing device on a display of a locked target computing device. Embodiments are also directed to projecting control information onto a locked target computing device's display and allowing control of a second computing device using the control information displayed on the target computing device. In one scenario, a target computing device receives a request to display content projected from another computing system. The target computing device determines whether receiving projected content from the other computing system is permissible on the target computing device when the target computing device is in a locked state. Then, upon verifying permissibility, the target computing device provisions computing resources to display the received content while in the locked state. The target computing device may also control functions on the other computing system using control information.

主权项

1. A target computing device comprising a memory containing computer executable instruction which, when executed on a processor of the target computing device, cause the target computing device to be configured with an architecture that allows a source computing system to project content displayed at the target computing device even when the target computing device is in a locked state that limits access to the target computing device without user authentication, and wherein the architecture of the target computing device comprises:
a receiving module that receives a request to display content projected from a source computing system, and wherein the request includes the content to be displayed; a determining module that determines whether the requested content projected from the source computing system is permissible on the target computing device even though the target computing device is in a locked state that limits access to the target computing device without user authentication, and wherein the determining module determines permissibility of the requested content projected from the source computing system by accessing operating system settings or application settings previously configured on the target computing device; and a resource provisioning module that, in response to verification of permissibility by the determining module, provisions computing resources of the target computing device to display the content received from the source computing system at a display of the target computing device while the target computing device is maintained in the locked state, and wherein the provisioned resources are limited to resources needed for display of the requested content in accordance with the nature of the requested content.
