主权项

1. A method comprising:
detecting cursor movement activity by a user; redrawing, according to the activity, a compartment boundary of at least one of a plurality of compartments into which a display surface is divided, wherein the compartment boundary limits display coverage of at least one of the screen saver images; executing a plurality of screen saver program instances to display a plurality of separately visible screen saver images using a single display device at substantially the same time, wherein at least one of a speed of display or a dominant color is selectively assigned to at least one screen saver image of the plurality of separately visible screen saver images using one of a random assignment or a user-selected assignment; and recording at least one portion of the at least one screen saver image for later playback while the at least one screen saver image is displayed via the single display device, wherein the recording is performed responsive to receiving an indication that the at least one of the speed of display or the dominant color of the at least one screen saver image being displayed matches a predetermined display criteria.
