ASSOCIATING A CAPTURED SCREENSHOT WITH APPLICATION-SPECIFIC METADATA THAT DEFINES A SESSION STATE OF AN APPLICATION CONTRIBUTING IMAGE DATA TO THE CAPTURED SCREENSHOT

摘要

In an embodiment, a UE detects a request to capture a screenshot of image data being output on a display screen, obtains application-specific metadata that is configured to facilitate recreation of characteristics of a session state of an application that is contributing at least a portion of the image data being output on the display screen when the request is detected. The UE selectively captures the screenshot of the image data being output on the display screen in response to the request, and stores the obtained application-specific metadata. The same or different UE may obtain some or all of the application-specific metadata (and optionally the screenshot, if captured), and recreates some or all of the characteristics using the same or different application.
