Selective screen sharing

Abstract:

Method, systems, and computer-readable for selectively sharing media among two or more client devices. Initially, media (e.g., image(s), video, audio, text, etc.) can be rendered via a first client device. Portions of the media rendered on a first client device can be selectively encoded, thereby masking the selectively encoded portions. The media can then be shared, including the encoded portions, with a second client device. Using the first client device, an operation can be implemented for authorizing decoding of the portions of the media by the second client device, thereby allowing the decoded portions of the media to be rendered by the second client device without masking.
