Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for sharing a screen from a mobile device. For example, a method includes capturing an image of a screen displayed on the mobile device in response to a command to share the screen, receiving user instructions for redacting a portion of the image, and transmitting the image with the selected portion redacted to a recipient device selected by the user. As another example, a method includes receiving, from a first mobile device, an identifier for a recipient and an image representing a captured screen of a first mobile device, copying the image to an image repository associated with the recipient, performing recognition on the image, generating annotation data for the image, based on the recognition, that includes at least one visual cue, and providing the image and the annotation data to a second mobile device, the second mobile device being associated with the recipient.
