Patent ID: 8347395

Claim:
A method for monitor mirroring of a computer system in the display of data sets that include data requiring confidentiality, the method comprising: identifying data requiring confidentiality from data sets that are to be displayed at a first monitor and a second monitor; filtering out the data requiring confidentiality from a representation of the data sets when the second monitor is connected to the first monitor, wherein filtering out the data includes deleting the data requiring confidentiality from the representation of the data sets, such that the filtered data sets are non-confidential information; displaying the filtered data sets on the first monitor, wherein the data requiring confidentiality is not displayed; performing the monitor mirroring with the filtered data sets onto the second monitor when the second monitor is connected to the first monitor, such that screen content for the filtered data sets of the first monitor is the same as screen content for the filtered data sets of the second monitor when the first monitor is mirrored on the second monitor; and reconfiguring the filtered data sets displayed on the first monitor when the connection is terminated, such that the data requiring confidentiality is displayed on the first monitor when a user of the first monitor is authorized to view the data requiring confidentiality, wherein the data requiring confidentiality from the data sets is identified before the monitor mirroring is performed.
