USER INTERFACE FOR SHARING APPLICATION PORTION

摘要

A user interface to share portions of applications between hardware entities and users thereof. The user interface is configured such that a user may select a portion of the user interface (and potentially also use redaction interactions) to identify an appropriate portion of the user interface to share. The user may also select a target hardware entity for that selected portion. Then, the portion of the application that generates that portion (appropriately redacted) of the user interface is shared with the selected target hardware entity. When that selected portion is run on that target entity, the associated user(s) will thus see the portion of the user interface (appropriately redacted). Accordingly, a user may quickly share portions of an application with another user via the use of refined portion selection interactions, and potentially also redaction user interactions.

1. A method for a hardware entity associated with a first endpoint interface entity to share a portion of an application with a second endpoint interface entity, the method comprising:
an act of rendering a user interface of the application on a display of the hardware entity; an act of detecting a portion selection user interaction of the user interface that is indicative of selection of a portion of the user interface that is generated by a portion of the application; an act of detecting a target selection user interaction; an act of determining from the target selection user interaction that the selected portion of the user interface is to be made available to be shared with a second endpoint interface entity; and in response to the act of determining, an act of the hardware entity associated with the first endpoint interface entity causing the selected portion of the application to be made available to the second endpoint interface entity such that the portion of the application can generate the selected portion of the user interface on the second endpoint interface entity.
