DYNAMICALLY ENABLING AN INTERACTIVE ELEMENT WITHIN A NON-INTERACTIVE VIEW OF A SCREEN SHARING SESSION

摘要

A non-interactive screen sharing session executing within a computing device can be identified. The device can be communicatively linked to different computing devices of the screen sharing session. The contents of the remote screen buffer can be analyzed to determine a graphical representation of a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) within the contents prior to presenting the contents of the buffer within the device. A visible information item can be extracted and a non-visible reference can be established from the representation. An area surrounding the representation including a position and dimensions of the representation within the contents can be determined. The representation of the URL can be replaced with an interactive element in real-time. The element can include the visible and non-visible reference. The contents of the buffer can be presented within an interface associated with the session of the device, responsive to the replacing.

主权项

1. A method for providing interactivity for a “view only” teleconference session comprising:
identifying a non-interactive screen sharing session executing within a computing device, wherein the computing device is communicatively linked to a plurality of different computing devices of the screen sharing session; analyzing the contents of the remote screen buffer to determine a graphical representation of a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) within the contents prior to presenting the contents of the screen buffer within the computing device; extracting a visible information and establishing a non-visible reference from the graphical representation; determining an area surrounding the graphical representation comprising of a position and dimensions of the graphical representation within the contents; and replacing the graphical representation of the URL with an interactive element in real-time, wherein the interactive element comprises of the visible information and the non-visible reference; and responsive to the replacing, presenting the contents of the screen buffer within an interface associated with the non-interactive screen sharing session of the computing device.
