Abrégé

Visual content to be displayed on a display of a user device is received. Obfuscation data for obscuring the visual content is generated and the obscured visual content is displayed on the display. A request to stop obscuring the visual content is transmitted from the user device to a remote device, in response to a drag gesture detected at the user device. As the drag gesture is performed, the obfuscation data is modified to reduce a level of obfuscation applied to the visual content before the request has been accepted, so that the visual content remains obscured but with a lower level of obfuscation. If the request is subsequently accepted at the remote device, the display is controlled to stop obscuring the visual content, thereby rendering the visual content fully visible on the display.

Abrégé

In a communication event via a network between a requesting user, operating a first user device, and a responding user, operating a second user device, each of the user devices captures a stream of audio data, transmits the captured stream of audio data to the other user device via the network for receiving thereat, and outputs, to its user, the audio stream received from the other user device. A video exchange function is initially suppressed for the communication event for both of the user devices. The first user device transmits to the second user device a request to stop suppressing video. If the responding user does not accept the request, the video exchange function continues to be suppressed for both of the user devices. If the responding user accepts the request, the video exchange function stops being suppressed for both of the user devices.

Abrégé

A computer-implemented method of rendering a user interface, the method comprising the following steps: at a user interface controller, receiving visual content to be displayed on a display of a user device, wherein the user interface controller generates obfuscation data for obscuring the visual content and controls the display to render a user interface on which the visual content is obscured according to the obfuscation data; and transmitting, from the user device to a remote device, a request to stop obscuring the visual content, wherein the request is transmitted in response to a drag gesture detected at the user device; wherein as the drag gesture is performed, the user interface controller responds by modifying the obfuscation data to reduce a level of obfuscation applied to the visual content before the request has been accepted, whereby the visual content remains obscured but with a lower level of obfuscation, wherein if the request is subsequently accepted at the remote device, in response the user interface controller controls the display to stop obscuring the visual content, thereby rendering it fully visible on the display.
