Systems and methods for multiple display support in remote access software
First Claim
1. A method for remotely viewing, at a viewer computing device, at least part of a plurality of host displays that are each connected to a same single host computing device, the viewer computing device having at least one viewer display, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving, at the viewer computing device from the single host computing device having the plurality of host displays connected thereto, information relating to at least one image presented on at least part of the plurality of host displays, the information comprising a record of rectangles with each rectangle identifying the boundaries of one of the plurality of host displays connected to the same single host device;
(b) presenting, on at least one viewer display, a control derived from the received information, the control comprising (i) a scaled version of image data presented on the plurality of host displays and (ii) a repositionable and resizable marker superimposed on the scaled version of the image data, the scaled version of the image data comprising a plurality of tiles with each tile corresponding to one of the plurality of host displays and being derived from one of the received rectangles and wherein at least one of the plurality of tiles is disproportionately sized relative to another tile;
(c) receiving user input repositioning or resizing the marker and(d) displaying, on at least one viewer display and in response to the marker being repositioned or resized, the portion of the at least one image presented on at least part of the plurality of host displays that is demarcated by the repositioned or resized marker.

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 remote access having a host computing device connected to a plurality of host displays, the single host computing device in communication with a viewer computing device via a network, the system comprising:
a viewer computing device comprising; a transceiver which receives, from the single host computing device having a plurality of host displays connected thereto, information relating to at least one image presented on at least part of the plurality of host displays, the information comprising a record of rectangles with each rectangle identifying the boundaries of one of the plurality of host displays; at least one viewer display which displays a control derived from the received information, the control comprising (i) a scaled version of image data presented on the plurality of host displays and (ii) a repositionable and resizable marker superimposed on the scaled version of the image data, the scaled version of the image data comprising a plurality of tiles with each tile corresponding to one of the plurality of host displays and being derived from one of the received rectangles and wherein at least one of the plurality of tiles is disproportionately sized relative to another tile; a user interface that allows a user to reposition or resize the marker; and at least one viewer display which displays, in response to the user repositioning or resizing the marker, the portion of the at least one image presented on at least part of the plurality of host displays that is demarcated by the repositioned or resized marker. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
