Abstract:
A remote communication system and method are disclosed. An environment is identified defining a plurality of parameters communicated between an electronic device (or a computer-based device) and a remote computer as part of a remote session (i. e. , the electronic device remotely controlling the remote computer via the remote session), with each parameter defining an action associated with the remote session. A first application (associated with the electronic device), via a unidirectional communication with the environment, modifies at least one parameter associated with the environment (e. g. , modifying keyboard scan codes, cursor position, mouse position, clipboard data, screen resolution, or channel administration), wherein the modified parameter is extracted by an interceptor associated with the remote computer and, the interceptor, based on a look-up, executes a pre-defined action affecting the remote session, wherein the pre-defined action being different than the modified parameter's associated action.
