Abstract: In the context of a co-browse session, one of the participants elects to include a screenshare task in which a screenshare of a browser window displaying a website will be provided to other participants of the co-browse session. When the screenshare task is started, a location of an address bar of the web browser is identified, optional pre-processing is applied to the image of the address bar, and a character recognition process, is used to determine the characters of the URL in the browser's address bar. The URL is compared with a list of allowed website URLs, and the screenshare session is selectively allowed only if the URL is contained in the list of allowed URLs. Once the URL has been approved, a slice of pixels the address bar is obtained and monitored for changes to the pixels that may indicate a change to the URL.

Abstract: To address needs of journalists and other editors, an audiovisual editing system associates segments of audiovisual materials with segments of related text. The editing system permits an editor to edit both the audiovisual materials of the segments and to edit the related text. The data structure representing the story includes a list of media segments and a list a text segments and a correspondence among the segments. Each media segment has a type, such as script, SOT and voice, and includes a list of video clips. These data structures enable the editing system to provide a simple and intuitive interface for editing a story, and can be transformed in a straightforward manner into a conventional, multitrack sequence used to represent an audiovisual composition. The editing system automatically defines parameters, such as designating the correct audio tracks, which minimize the chance for errors and speeds the workflow. Automatic ducking of these tracks also can be provided.
