SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING WINDOW GEOMETRY

摘要

A system and method are presented for determining window geometry. In an embodiment, a party to an interaction using a streaming video connection may want to share content on their display with another party to the interaction. A party may wish to annotate an on-screen target for the other party. In an embodiment, markers or magic bars may also be used to map the screens to each other in addition to coordinates. When one party annotates an on-screen target on their display, the coordinates on the party's display are translated for the other party and the annotation is placed in the intended location on that party's screen. Masking of content may also be performed such that contact on one user's screen may not be visible to the other party during the screen share.

主权项

1. A method for annotating a target in a display associated with a second user, by a first user, wherein the display is remotely shared by the first and second user via a streaming video connection during the course of an interaction, the method comprising:
a. adding a marker on the display associated with the second user with at least one point for dimension; b. mapping coordinates in the display of the first user with coordinates in the display associated with the second user using the marker; c. drawing, manually, on the display associated with the second user, by the second user, a shape, wherein the computer of the second user interprets the coordinates in the display associated with the second user of the shape by searching for the marker in the streaming video connection associated with first user; d. translating the coordinates in the display of the first user of the drawn shape into the coordinates associated with the second user; and e. drawing automatically, by the computer of the second user, the shape in the intended location on the display associated with the second user.
