Abstract
A system for managing collections having multiple content types can include a screen data capture module to capture screen data in a window having a window privacy setting presented to a user on a display device, a mixed-media collection (MMC) managing module configured to manage an MMC incorporating the captured screen data, and an MMC storage module configured to store the MMC. The MMC managing module can alter the captured screen data based on the window privacy setting.
Claims25
A system for managing collections having at least one content type, comprising:
- a screen data capture module configured to capture video data in a window presented to a user on a video display device, the window having a window privacy setting associated therewith that specifies a particular action for the managing module to take responsive to a determination that at least one of the plurality of windows has a particular window type;
- a mixed-media collection managing module configured to create and manage a mixed-media collection (MMC) that incorporates the captured video data, the managing module being further configured to alter at least some of the captured video data based at least in part on the window privacy setting;
- and
- an MMC storage module configured to store the MMC.
A system for playing collections having at least one content type, comprising:
- a mixed-media collection (MMC) storage module configured to store an MMC comprising previously captured screen data that includes a window that was previously presented to a user on a display device, the previously presented window having a window privacy setting associated therewith that specifies a particular action for the managing module to take responsive to a determination that at least one of the plurality of windows has a particular window type;
- and
- an MMC playback module configured to allow a user to view playback data corresponding to the previously captured screen data, the MMC playback module being further configured to generate the playback data by altering at least some of the previously captured screen data based at least in part on the window privacy setting.
A machine-controlled method, comprising:
- capturing screen data with a mixed-media collection (MMC) creation module that defines at least one window presented to a user via a display device;
- retrieving a window privacy setting associated with the at least one window, the window privacy setting specifying one of a plurality of actions that can be performed on screen data of the at least one window and the window privacy setting specifying a particular action for the MMC creating module to take responsive to a determination that at least one of the plurality of windows has a particular window type;
- creating an MMC with the MMC creation module and incorporating into the MMC at least some of the captured screen data;
- altering at least some of the captured screen data incorporated into the MMC based at least in part on the window privacy setting;
- and
- an MMC storage module storing the MMC on at least one of a user machine and a remote storage device.
