  • Patent number: 11354532
    Abstract: In some examples, a host device comprises a network interface and a processor. The processor is to, in response to a request to share content with a remote device, display the content in a graphical user interface. The content is a video. The processor is to generate an image of the content. The image is a frame of the video. The processor is to generate a first representation of the image, receive second and third representations of the image via the network interface, determine a first similarity between the first representation and the second representation, determine a second similarity between the first representation and the third representation, compare the first similarity to a threshold, compare the second similarity to the threshold, and indicate whether the content is successfully shared with the remote device based on the comparison of the first similarity to the threshold and the comparison of the second similarity to the threshold.
