LIGHTWEIGHT REMOTE DISPLAY PROTOCOL

摘要

A light (resource-preserving) remote desktop protocol (32-35) for enabling a user of a client communication terminal (12) to interface with an application hosted by another communication terminal (14). Prior to exchanging remote user interfacing information according to the light remote desktop protocol, a discover process (31) is performed. The light remote desktop protocol (32-35) provides for exchanging the user interfacing information according to a BEEP-like transport protocol and for indicating the user interfacing information itself using XML or SOAP to describe screens by which a user of the client makes inputs to the application and receives outputs from the application, and using a KPML-like or SOAP protocol derived from an input-event XML schema for the other communication terminal/remote user interfacing server (14) input events on the client communication terminal (12), including events in which a key is pressed on the client (12).
