US Classification:

345157, 710 1, 345 21, 715733, 709203

Abstract:

A method and system to detect a correlation of movements of an input device, sent from a first location, with at least one configurable movement parameter set on a remote computer at a second location remote from the first location, wherein the method includes: (a) sending first movement information from the first location to the remote computer at the second location, the first movement information corresponding to a first movement of the input device; (b) tracking a resulting movement of a cursor of the remote computer at the second location in response to the remote computer having received the first movement information and utilized the at least one configurable movement parameter; (c) calculating predicted movements utilizing at least two possible values for the at least one configurable movement parameter; and (d) determining which of the at least two possible values provides the predicted movement most closely matching the resulting movement of the cursor.

Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided that handle certain keystrokes or keystroke combinations on a remote station so that a user may select whether those keystrokes are sent to a target device, or whether they affect a remote station controlling the target device. Such systems allow the user to select which keystrokes, or keystroke combinations are sent to the target device, the remote station, or both. This allows the user the flexibility to tailor a remote KVM presence. These systems intercept keystrokes entered on the remote station and route them according to pre-selected criteria determined by the user. To intercept the keystrokes the software running on the remote station installs a low-level keyboard hook. This hook allows the software to view and route the keystrokes before the remote station's operating system gets notified of the keystroke.
