Managing active GUI elements remotely
First Claim
1. A method of selectively forwarding activated graphical user interface (GUI) elements from a source system to a remote device for user interaction comprising:
- configuring the source system for forwarding to the remote device a subset of activated GUI elements that are for front of screen display on the source system based on user preferences;
receiving the user preferences from the user for determining which GUI elements to forward to the remote device;
in response to a user request from the user, identifying an activated GUI element for front of screen display on the source system and related information that meets the user preferences; and
subsequent to the user request, forwarding only the identified GUI element and related information that meet the user preferences to the remote device for interaction with the user when the user is remote from the source system wherein interaction with the user includes receiving a user response through the forwarded GUI element at the remote device for processing by the source system;
wherein forwarding the identified GUI element includes transforming the identified GUI element from at least a first one from a set of window, dialog box and icon to a voice message.

12. A data processing system for selectively forwarding activated graphical user interface (GUI) elements from a source system to a remote device for user interaction, the data processing system comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory storing program instructions which when executed by the processor execute the steps of; configuring the source system for forwarding to the remote device a subset of activated GUI elements that are for front of screen display on the source system based on user preferences; receiving the user preferences from the user for determining which GUI elements to forward to the remote device; in response to a user request from the user, identifying an activated GUI element for front of screen display on the source system and related information that meets the user preferences; and
subsequent to the user request, forwarding only the identified GUI element and related information that meet the user preferences to the remote device for interaction with the user when the user is remote from the source system wherein interaction with the user includes receiving a user response through the forwarded GUI element at the remote device for processing by the source system;wherein forwarding the identified GUI element includes transforming the identified GUI element from at least a first one from a set of window, dialog box and icon to a voice message. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer usable program product comprising a non-transitory computer usable storage medium including computer usable code for use in selectively forwarding activated graphical user interface (GUI) elements from a source system to a remote device for user interaction, the computer usable program product comprising code for performing the steps of:
-
configuring the source system for forwarding to the remote device a subset of activated GUI elements that are for front of screen display on the source system based on user preferences; receiving the user preferences for determining which GUI elements to forward to the remote device; in response to a user request, identifying an activated GUI element for front of screen display on the source system and related information that meets the user preferences; and subsequent to the user request, forwarding only the identified GUI element and related information that meet the user preferences to the remote device for interaction with the user when the user is remote from the source system wherein interaction with the user includes receiving a user response through the forwarded GUI element at the remote device for processing by the source system; wherein forwarding the identified GUI element includes transforming the identified GUI element from at least a first one from a set of window, dialog box and icon to a voice message. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
