Remote control of a display system

摘要

A method and system for remote control of a target computer by a controller computer through a network. The graphic commands issued by the graphic engine of the target computer are "hooked" and translated into a system independent format. The translated commands are then transmitted to the controller computer to be replayed on the display. The independency from the operating system is realized by defining a protocol which is used to translate a subset of the graphic commands in the target computer before the transmission to the controller computer where the commands are re-translated according to the same protocol.
