Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems are provided that handle certain keystrokes or keystroke combinations on a remote station so that a user may select whether those keystrokes are sent to a target device, or whether they affect a remote station controlling the target device. Such systems allow the user to select which keystrokes, or keystroke combinations are sent to the target device, the remote station, or both. This allows the user the flexibility to tailor a remote KVM presence. These systems intercept keystrokes entered on the remote station and route them according to pre-selected criteria determined by the user. To intercept the keystrokes the software running on the remote station installs a low-level keyboard hook. This hook allows the software to view and route the keystrokes before the remote station's operating system gets notified of the keystroke.
