Abstract
A method for improving application sharing by dynamic partitioning can include partitioning a screen display of an application into grid regions and, in response to detecting that an application image in the plurality of grid regions have changed, offsetting positions of the grid regions, so that the changed portions of the application image are in fewer grid regions using a computer system. The method also can include transmitting image data in the offset grid regions involving the changed portions of the application image and identifications and offset data of the offset grid regions to an application sharing client.

A computer-implemented method within a computer hardware system, comprising:
- overlaying a plurality of grid regions over an application image having changed portions and unchanged portions;
- identifying, as a group, only the changed portions of the application image;
- offsetting, by an offset amount, the grid regions of the changed portions of the application image so that only the changed portions of the application image are in fewer grid regions;
- transmitting, to a client system, offset information including:
- offset data representing the offset amount,
- only an identity of one or more grid regions including the changed portions of the application image, and
- image data only for the one or more grid regions including the changed portions of the application image.
