Abstract
Methods and devices provide for remote management of a local computer by transferring screen frames produced by the local computer for viewing at a remote computer. The screen frame data may be obtained by digitizing an analog video output of the local computer and then grabbing frames from the digitized video, or by directly grabbing frames from a digital video output of the local computer. Additionally, interaction may be established with the local computer through user input devices such as a mouse and keyboard of the remote computer whose signals are transferred back to the local computer to alter the screen frames being produced by the local computer that are then transferred back to the remote computer for display.
