Abstract

In aspects of recorded content managed for restricted screen recording, a wireless device displays digital image content, and a screen recording session captures the digital image content and audio data. The wireless device implements a content control module that determines a device application restricts the screen recording session from capturing the media content. The content control module can then pause the screen recording session for a time duration that the device application restricts the screen recording session, and then resume the screen recording session after a determination that the screen recording session is no longer being restricted. As an alternative to pausing the screen recording session, the content control module can add a start delimiter to indicate a beginning section of the screen recording session being restricted by the device application, and add an end delimiter to indicate an end section of the screen recording session being restricted.

Claims (52)

1. A wireless device, comprising:

a display screen to display digital image content;

an audio module to process audio data;

a screen recording session configured to capture at least one of the digital image content and the audio data;

a content control module implemented at least partially in hardware and configured to:

determine that a device application restricts the screen recording session from capturing one or more of the digital image content and the audio data;

pause the screen recording session for a time duration that the device application restricts the screen recording session;

resume the screen recording session without user input after a determination that the screen recording session is no longer being restricted from capturing one or more of the digital image content and the audio data; and

add a displayable indication to the screen recording session to indicate the time duration between which the screen recording session is paused and resumed.

2. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the content control module is configured to determine that the digital image content or the audio data is associated with the device application that restricts the screen recording session.

3. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the content control module is configured to determine that the device application is executing on the wireless device as a foreground application, and pause the screen recording session.

4. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the content control module is configured to determine that the device application restricts the screen recording session based on the wireless device processing empty video data or empty audio data during the screen recording session.

5. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the content control module is configured to determine that the device application is executing on the wireless device as a background application, and resume the screen recording session.

6. The wireless device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a microphone to detect external audio content that is processed as the audio data, and wherein the content control module is configured to:

pause the screen recording session from capturing the external audio content during the screen recording session for the time duration that the device application restricts the screen recording session.

7. The wireless device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a camera device to capture the digital image content that is displayed on the display screen, and wherein the content control module is configured to:

pause the screen recording session from capturing the digital image content during the screen recording session for the time duration that the device application restricts the screen recording session.

8. A method, comprising:

displaying digital image content on a display screen of a wireless device;

processing audio data with an audio module of the wireless device;

capturing at least one of the digital image content or the audio data with a screen recording session initiated on the wireless device;

determining that a device application restricts the screen recording session from the capturing at least one of the digital image content or the audio data;

pausing the screen recording session for a time duration that the device application restricts the screen recording session;

resuming the screen recording session after a determination that the screen recording session is no longer being restricted from the capturing at least one of the digital image content or the audio data; and

adding a displayable message to the screen recording session as an indication of content being skipped during the time duration between when the screen recording session is paused and resumed.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

determining that the digital image content or the audio data is associated with the device application that restricts the screen recording session.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

determining that the device application is executing on the wireless device as a foreground application, and pausing the screen recording session based on the device application executing as the foreground application.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the determining that the device application restricts the screen recording session is based on the wireless device processing empty video data or empty audio data during the screen recording session.

12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

determining that the device application is executing on the wireless device as a background application, and resuming the screen recording session based on the device application executing as a background application.

13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

detecting external audio content with a microphone of the wireless device, the external audio content being processed as the audio data; and

pausing the screen recording session from capturing the external audio content during the screen recording session for the time duration that the device application restricts the screen recording session.

14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

capturing the digital image content that is displayed on the display screen with a camera device of the wireless device; and

pausing the screen recording session from capturing the digital image content during the screen recording session for the time duration that the device application restricts the screen recording session.

15. A method, comprising:

capturing media content with a screen recording session initiated on a wireless device;

determining that a device application restricts the screen recording session from the capturing the media content on the wireless device;

adding a displayable and user-selectable start delimiter to the screen recording session to indicate a beginning section of the screen recording session being restricted by the device application;

adding a displayable and user-selectable end delimiter to the screen recording session to indicate an end section of the screen recording session being restricted by the device application, the screen recording session continuing for a time duration defined by the start delimiter to the end delimiter.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the media content captured by the screen recording session is at least one of digital image content displayed on a display screen of the wireless device or audio data processed with an audio module of the wireless device.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the screen recording session is recorded as blank video data without audio or visual content during the time duration that the device application restricts the screen recording session marked by the start delimiter to the end delimiter.

18. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

determining that the device application is executing on the wireless device as a foreground application, and adding the start delimiter to the screen recording session.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the determining that the device application restricts the screen recording session is based on the wireless device processing empty video data or empty audio data during the screen recording session.

20. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

determining that the device application is executing on the wireless device as a background application, and adding the end delimiter to the screen recording session.
