Providing a Shared Buffer Between Multiple Computer Terminals

摘要

Disclosed is a method, system, and computer-readable medium with executable code for controlling the operation of multiple client terminals from a single keyboard and mouse of a server terminal. A buffer sharing logic of the server terminal and the client terminals is used to transmit and receive user input between the computers. The server terminal may use buffer sharing logic to cycle between desktop views or program windows of processes running on the connected client terminals. A user may use an ALT-TAB command to select a desktop view or program window of a connected client terminal. Once a screen or desktop is chosen, the user of the server terminal give focus of the selected application on a display connected to the server terminal. Additionally, the buffer sharing logic allows the user to dynamically copy and move data between the computer terminals at will.
