Abstract
In a method and apparatus for enabling communication between a computer terminal and a servicing station in a remote controlled system, after a communications link has been established between the computer terminal and the servicing station, video signals of the computer terminal are captured and are transmitted to the servicing station via the communications link so that images shown on the computer terminal can be shown by a display monitor of the servicing station. At the same time, input signals received from and generated by an input device of the servicing station are transmitted to the computer terminal via the communications link so as to enable remote control of the computer terminal via the servicing station.
