METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DYNAMIC TRANSLATION BETWEEN DIFFERENT GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE SYSTEMS

摘要

The present invention is directed towards a translation software that provides remote access to an application program that is executing on a host machine in its native operating system environment. The translation software monitors messages that are relayed from the application program to an application interface that is provided via the native operating system. Upon recognizing a message that affects a graphical user interface of the native operating system, the translation software converts the message into a protocol that is recognized by a remote graphical user interface. By monitoring and converting messages in this fashion, the translation software allows the application program to be displayed remotely.
