Abstract
A method, system, and/or computer program product enables the sharing of an overlapping area on a shared projection. A system detects an overlapping area on a shared projection, which presents content from a first projection and a second projection. A computing device identifies any redundant resources, which perform the same function as one another, in the first projection and the second projection. A consolidated resource, which provides the same function as the redundant resources, is defined and/or created, and then displayed in the overlapping area.
Claims6
A computer program product for sharing an overlapping area on a shared projection, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code readable and executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:
- detecting an overlapping area on a shared projection, wherein the shared projection presents content from a first projection and a second projection;
- identifying redundant resources in the first projection and the second projection, wherein the redundant resources are a first resource in the first projection and a second resource in the second projection that perform a same function;
- and
- displaying a consolidated resource in the overlapping area, wherein the consolidated resource provides the same function as the first resource from the first projection and the second resource from the second projection.
A computer system comprising:
- a processor, a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage medium;
- first program instructions to detect an overlapping area on a shared projection, wherein the shared projection presents content from a first projection and a second projection;
- second program instructions to identify redundant resources in the first projection and the second projection, wherein the redundant resources are a first resource in the first projection and a second resource in the second projection that perform a same function;
- and
- third program instructions to display a consolidated resource in the overlapping area, wherein the consolidated resource provides the same function as the first resource from the first projection and the second resource from the second projection;
- and wherein said first, second, and third program instructions are stored on said computer readable storage medium for execution by said processor via said computer readable memory.
