Appl. No.:

12/773021

Inventors:

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709203

Abstract:

Sharing a desktop screen is implemented on a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) web server using variable interval GET and POST requests. Connection to a web server bypasses firewall or shared IP limitations. In the described HTTP/HTTPS only solution, an existing web server is used to allow one or more clients to view a remote computer's screen and control it (remoting). The web server can act as an intermediary to enable one computer to “take control” of a second computer by enabling the first computer (a client) to view the desktop session of the second computer (a host) and enable the first computer to act as master for input device input (e.g., keyboard input, mouse input, stylus input, etc.) for the second computer.

Abstract:

Remote desktop sharing allows a user to access applications and data on a remote computer over a network. An intermediary computer can communicate with a host computer and one or more client computers to facilitate remote desktop sharing. The host can send the intermediary computer an encoded key frame and encoded updates. The intermediary computer can decode the host screen data, and apply subsequent updates to the decoded image so that the intermediary computer has a near live host screen image in a first buffer. A second buffer on the intermediary computer can store an instance of a screen encoder for each client computer that has joined the session and the most current host image that the client computer has. The encoder compares the near live screen image and the stored client computer host image to create an encoded differential screen image update to pass to the client computer.
