METHOD FOR COMMUNICATING INFORMATION CONTENT BETWEEN CLIENT AND HOST

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for communicating information content between client and host is provided to communicate information content using wireless device between a host and a client in a communications system,. CONSTITUTION: A client(104) responds to the acquisition of control of the pointer by control program(112) by acquiring a communications link to host(116). The client(104) then transmits a screen pointer start message to host(116). The host(116) receives the message and communications subsystem(122), and causes pointer(128) to be displayed. The user decides to copy data from display(118), so activates pointer control(110) in response to which control program(112) to send selection signals from client(104) to host(116). The host(116) receives the selection signals and displays a boundary(124) around the selected screen area on display(118). The host converts the content of the bounded area into clipboard data format in the same way that it would convert data selected for a conventional copy operation. The content is then transmitted in clipboard format.
