<p>Systems (10) and methods for remote access of network-enabled devices (18a, 18b) that provide seamless, firewall-compliant connectivity between multiple users (12a-12n) and multiple devices (18a, 18b), that allow collaborative operations by multiple users (12a-12n) or remote devices (18a, 18b), that allow point to multipoint control of multiple devices (18a, 18b) and which allow rapid, secure transmission of data between remote users (12a-12n) and devices (18a, 18b). In general terms, the system includes at least one connection server (14), and at least two computers (12a, 36a) operatively coupled to the connection server (14) via a public or global network (16). In an example where at least one client computer (12a) is operatively connected to at least one network-enabled device (18a) through a connection server (14) via the public or global network (16), the connection server (14) is configured to route control instructions from the client (12a) to the network-enabled device (18a), and route data from the network--enabled device (18a) to the client (12a).</p> |
