Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computer system for defining, at a first computing device, at least a portion of a display area associated with the first computing device. A specialized communication from a second computing device is received at the first computing device. The specialized communication is rendered at the first computing device in at least the portion of the display area. Use of an application within at least the portion of the display is prevented at least while the specialized communication is accessed.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- defining, at a first computing device, at least a portion of a display area associated with the first computing device;
- receiving, at the first computing device, a specialized communication;
- rendering, at the first computing device, the specialized communication in at least the portion of the display area;
- preventing another application from being accessed until the specialized communication is responded to;
- and
- preventing rendering of a display associated the another application from entering at least the portion of the display area associated with the application by increasing transparency of the another application.
(canceled)
A computing system including a processor and a memory configured to perform operations comprising:
- defining, at a first computing device, at least a portion of a display area associated with the first computing device;
- receiving, at the first computing device, a specialized communication
- rendering, at the first computing device, the specialized communication in at least the portion of the display area;
- preventing another application from being accessed until the specialized communication is responded to;
- and
- preventing rendering of a display associated the another application from entering at least the portion of the display area associated with the application by increasing transparency of the another application.
(canceled)
A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- defining, at a first computing device, at least a portion of a display area associated with the first computing device;
- receiving, at the first computing device, a specialized communication;
- rendering, at the first computing device, the specialized communication in at least the portion of the display area;
- preventing another application from being accessed until the specialized communication is responded to;
- and
- preventing rendering of a display associated the another application from entering at least the portion of the display area associated with the application by increasing transparency of the another application.
