  • Patent number: 11734462
    Abstract: An example method comprises determining, by a computing system, that a message-sending computing device has received an indication of user input indicating an intent to send a message to a user of a message-recipient computing device; prior to the message being delivered to the message-recipient computing device, calculating, by the computing system, a screen sharing risk score (SSRS) that indicates a risk that the message-recipient computing device is currently sharing screen content of a screen of the message-recipient computing device with a screen-recipient computing device associated with an untrusted screen-recipient user; and based on the SSRS indicating that the risk is above a risk threshold, causing the message-sending computing device to output an alert indicating that the message-recipient computing device is possibly sharing the screen content of the message-recipient computing device with the screen-recipient computing device associated with the untrusted screen-recipient user.

  • Publication number: 20230051006
    Abstract: A method comprises obtaining a video stream of a first party who is engaging with a second party in a telemedicine session; determining statuses of one or more privacy aspects of a first party environment, wherein the privacy aspects of the first party environment are aspects of the first party environment that have a potential to compromise privacy of sensitive information provided by the second party to the first party during the telemedicine session; and causing a second party computing device to present a user interface of a telemedicine facilitation application, wherein the user interface of the telemedicine facilitation application includes the video stream of the first party and also includes a set of one or more notifications, wherein each of the one or more notifications indicates the status of a different one of the privacy aspects of the first party environment.
