Abstract
Illustrative embodiments disclose sharing an area of a computer system screen. A first computer system configures a sharing session for sharing a region of the screen with a second computer system. The first computer system assesses information on performance of the sharing session, determining from the information a minimum size of the region based on the assessment, and then selects the region to share based on the assessment and a designation by a user.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method to share an area of a screen, comprising:
- configuring, by a processor unit in a first computer system, a sharing session for sharing a region of the screen with a second computer system;
- assessing, by the processor unit in the first computer system, information on performance of the sharing session;
- determining, by the processor unit in the first computer system, from the information on performance a minimum size of the region based on the assessment;
- and
- selecting, by the processor unit in the first computer system, the region to share based on the assessment and a designation by a user.
A computer program product for sharing an area of a computer system screen, comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium;
- program code, stored on the computer readable storage medium, for selecting an application to generate a region on the screen of a first computer system to share with a second computer system in a sharing session, wherein the application configures the first computer system to share the region with the second computer system;
- program code, stored on the computer readable storage medium, for assessing information on performance of the sharing session;
- program code, stored on the computer readable storage medium, for determining from the information on performance a minimum size of the region based on the assessment;
- and
- program code, stored on the computer readable storage medium, for selecting the region to share based on the assessment and a designation by a user.
A data processing system for sharing an area of a computer system screen in a sharing session, the system comprising:
- a bus system;
- a storage device connected to the bus system, wherein the storage device includes program code;
- a processor unit configured to execute the program code to select an application to generate a region on the screen of a first computer system to share with a second computer system in a sharing session, wherein the application configures the first computer system to share the region with the second computer system;
- to assess information on performance of the sharing session;
- to determine from the information on performance a minimum size of the region based on the assessment;
- and to select the region to share based on the assessment and a designation by a user.
