METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING INTEROPERABILITY BETWEEN DEVICES

摘要

Methods and apparatus are provided to promote interoperability between devices having different user input devices by correlating user input that is provided via one or more input mechanisms of a client device to touch events on the server device. The method may maintain a terminal session between a server device and a client device in which the client device simulates at least a portion of a display generated at the server device. The method may access a mapping between touch events on the server device and actuation of respective input mechanisms of the client device. The method may also interpret one or more control signals provided in response to actuation of an input mechanism based upon the mapping and may then cause a user interface state of the server device to updated based on the actuation of the input mechanism of the client device.
