Abstract: Techniques are directed to managing image generation for desktop and screen sharing systems as well as for large image systems such as mapping. An apparatus may comprise a logic device, a remote sharing module and an image generation module. The remote sharing module is operative on the logic device to share an image with one or more client devices. The image may be divided into a plurality of tiles each corresponding to a portion of the shared image. The image generation module is operative on the logic device to determine a version of each of the plurality of tiles and compares the version of each of the plurality of tiles with a received client version of the same image.

Abstract: Sharing files associated with an application screen is provided. A selection of a user interface window may be received on a computer. The user interface may include a view of a file previously opened by an application generating the user interface window. The user interface window including the view of the previously opened file may be shared by the computer with one or more viewers. The computer may then share the previously open file with the one or more viewers while continuing to share the user interface window. The computer may choose to represent the view in any way and associate with the file (i.e., backing data) to be rendered in an alternative way.

Abstract: A client device selectively establishes connections between selected client communication components and corresponding server communication components. The client device receives data from the corresponding server communication components via the connections between the selected client communication components and the server communication components. The data received via different ones of the connections is associated with a different content stream of a teleconference. During the teleconference, a given connection is suspended. When the given connection is suspended, the client computing device continues to receive data via connections other than the given connection.
