Online Screen Sharing

Abstract

Our aim is to develop a screen sharing system in which client’s screen or client’s system is controlled by server. To accomplish our aim we have created an online screen sharing system by using JAVA as front end. The desktop sharing software works by mimicking the display of remote computer, the host, on the display of the connecting computer, the client. It does this by copying the client’s display and redrawing it on the hosts display. Keyboard and mouse gestures from the client are transmitted to the host, where the machine interprets them as if they had been inputted locally. Because the service only needs to send small amounts of information (keyboard, mouse, and display) over the network and often takes advantage of compression technologies, it therefore works well in low-bandwidth scenarios. Once connected to a remote machine through a remote desktop connection, you have access to all of its applications and data. PC remote control is a vital feature for remote desktop solutions, as it enables the users to administer online computer support . Tech support departments in particular benefit immensely from the flexibility they gain by being able to respond quickly to server and workstation problems occurring anywhere within the network from any computer to which they have remote desktop access .
