Capturing content in a mobile computing platform

A system for mobile application clip detection and capturing, the system comprising:

• a mobile computing device executing a mobile operating system software, the mobile computing device including a processing device and a memory device storing executable instructions therein, the processing device executing executables via the mobile operating system software and coordinating user interfacing via at least one mobile device user interface, in response to the executable instructions, operative to:
• execute a content capture executable via the mobile operating system software, executing the content capture executable in a foreground execution by the processing device, wherein the foreground execution is execution by the processing device with active user interfacing including a graphical output display and receiving user input interaction via the mobile device user interface;
• while the content capture executable executes in the foreground execution, receiving a user consent from a user via the mobile device user interface, the user consent for capturing screen content by the content capture executable executing on the processing device of the mobile computing device;
• transferring the content capture executable from the foreground execution to a background execution, wherein the background execution is execution by the processing device without the active user interface including without the graphical output display and without the receiving user input interaction via the mobile device user interface;
• detecting capturable content from an application executable executing in the foreground execution on the processing device based on the monitoring of processing operations;
• in response to instructions from the content capture executable in the background execution and based on the detecting the capturable content, buffering screen content of the capturable content of the application executable in a first memory device for a first period of time;
• and
• transferring the content capture executable into the foreground execution of the mobile computing device, including receiving a clip generation command from the user and generating a content clip from at least a portion of the screen content in the first memory device based on the clip generation command.
