SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MULTIPLE DISPLAY SUPPORT IN REMOTE ACCESS SOFTWARE
First Claim
1. A method of supporting multiple display configurations in a remote access environment, the remote access environment having a host computing device in communication with a plurality of host displays and a viewer computing device in communication with one or more viewer displays, the host computing device and viewer computing device in communication via a network, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving from a host computing device, by a viewer computing device having one or more viewer displays, a list of rectangles, each rectangle representing the boundaries of one of a plurality of host displays;
(b) presenting, by the viewer computing device to an end-user of the viewer computing device, a graphical user interface including means for selecting a configuration for displaying a window representing screen data of the plurality of host displays in the viewable area of the one or more displays of the viewer computing device; and
(c) displaying in the selected configuration, by the viewer computing device, the window representing the screen data of the one or more host displays.

Abstract
A method of supporting multiple display configurations in a remote access environment, the remote access environment having a host computing device in communication with a viewer computing device comprises: receiving from a host computing device, by a viewer computing device having one or more viewer displays, a list of rectangles, each rectangle representing the boundaries of one of a plurality of host displays; presenting, by the viewer computing device to an end-user of the viewer computing device, a graphical user interface including means for selecting a configuration for displaying a window representing screen data of the plurality of host displays in the viewable area of the one or more displays of the viewer computing device; and displaying in the selected configuration, by the viewer computing device, the window representing the screen data of the one or more host displays. Corresponding systems are also described.

12. A computer implemented system for supporting multiple display configurations in a remote access environment, the remote access environment having a host computing device in communication with a plurality of host displays and a viewer computing device in communication with one or more viewer displays, the host computing device and viewer computing device in communication via a network, the system comprising:
-
a viewer computing device having one or more viewer displays, the viewer computing device comprising; a transceiver which receives, from a host computing device, a list of rectangles, each rectangle representing the boundaries of one of a plurality of host displays; and one or more viewer displays which displays a graphical user interface including means for selecting a configuration for displaying a window representing screen data of the plurality of host displays in the viewable area of the one or more displays of the viewer computing device; and
displays in the selected configuration the window representing the screen data of the one or more host displays. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
