Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for providing a pop-up repelling region (e.g., frame) for use in a screen sharing session that includes providing, or creating a region on a screen, during a screen sharing session, that includes a view of at least one application within the region and repelling from the view in the frame of all other applications.
Claims20
A method for providing a pop-up repelling frame for use in a screen sharing session, comprising:
- providing a region on a host screen, during a screen sharing session, wherein a view of a first application is viewable within the region;
- repelling a view of a second application from entering the region, the second application being distinct from the first application, and the repelling including displaying the view of the second application on the host screen outside of the region, wherein the view of the second application is a pop-up window;
- detecting the pop-up window;
- and
- creating and displaying, in the view of the first application, a pop-up window prompt that signifies the pop-up window is attempting to enter the region in response to the detecting of the pop-up window, wherein the pop-up window prompt includes a drop-down menu, the drop-down menu including a query for performing at least one of the following:
- accepting all pop-ups pertaining to the first application, accepting all pop-ups pertaining to the second application, or repelling all pop-ups pertaining to the second application.
A system for providing a pop-up repelling frame for use in a screen sharing session, comprising:
- a system for providing a region on a host screen, during a screen sharing session, wherein a view of a first application is viewable within the region;
- a system for repelling a view of a second application from entering the region, the second application being distinct from the first application, and the repelling including displaying the view of the second application on the host screen outside of the region, wherein the view of the second application is a pop-up window;
- a system for detecting the pop-up window;
- and
- a system for creating and displaying, in the view of the first application, a pop-up window prompt that signifies the pop-up window is attempting to enter the region in response to the detecting of the pop-up window, wherein the pop-up window prompt includes a drop-down menu, the drop-down menu including a query for performing at least one of the following:
- accepting all pop-ups pertaining to the first application, accepting all pop-ups pertaining to the second application, or repelling all pop-ups pertaining to the second application.
A program product stored on a recordable non-transitory medium for providing a pop-up repelling frame for use in a screen sharing session, which when executed comprises:
- program code for providing a region on a host screen, during a screen sharing session, wherein a view of a first application is viewable within the region;
- program code for repelling a view of a second application from entering the region, the second application being distinct from the first application, and the repelling including displaying the view of the second application on the host screen outside of the region, wherein the view of the second application is a pop-up window;
- program code for detecting the pop-up window;
- and
- program code for creating and displaying, in the view of the first application, a pop-up window prompt that signifies the pop-up window is attempting to enter the region in response to the detecting of the pop-up window, wherein the pop-up window prompt includes a drop-down menu, the drop-down menu including a query for performing at least one of the following:
- accepting all pop-ups pertaining to the first application, accepting all pop-ups pertaining to the second application, or repelling all pop-ups pertaining to the second application.
