Abstract: In a computer-implemented method and system of augmenting a video stream of an environment, a processing device receives a first video stream including a plurality of image frames provided from at least one camera, processes the plurality of image frames of the first video stream to define a spatial scope of image data within a respective one of the image frames, modifies the plurality of image frames with frame-based modification information configured to obfuscate or delete or restrict at least one portion of a respective one of the image frames which is outside of the spatial scope of image data within the respective one of the image frames, and outputs a second video stream based on the modified plurality of image frames with the frame-based modification information for transmission to a receiving device, such as a display device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is presented for controlling a remote device with a local device which may have a smaller screen than the remote device. At least a part of a content of a screen of the remote device is displayed on a screen of the local device with a magnification m. The local device records a user-action performed on the local device, for example a swipe or pan gesture. If the value of the magnification m is greater than a threshold value M, the local device interprets the user-action as a command destined for itself and executes the command. If the value of the magnification m is equal to or smaller than the threshold value M, the local device interprets the user-action as a command destined for the remote device and transmits the command to the remote device for execution on the remote device.
