Abstract
The embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for remotely operating a target device. A camera image is obtained, including a target screen image (which is an image of a screen of the target device). The camera image is transmitted to and displayed in a second device. Operational information is obtained on the screen of the second device, which displays the camera image. The operational information is transmitted to a first device. Human device data, which derives from the operational information, is inputted from the first device to the target device.
Claims7
A method for remotely operating a target device, comprising:
- obtaining, by one or more processors, a camera image in a first device, wherein the camera image from an image handler comprises a target screen image and a position of a pointer on the target screen, wherein the target screen image is an image of a screen of the target device;
- adjusting, by one or more processors, the position displayed in an image screen mapper by analyzing the position of the pointer relative to the target screen image from the image handler;
- transmitting, by one or more processors, at least a portion of the camera image from the first device to a second device;
- enabling, by one or more processors, a user to interact with the portion of the camera image to provide operational information via the second device while the first device displays at least the portion of the camera image, wherein the operational information is indicative of an operation being performed on a screen of the second device;
- transmitting, by one or more processors, the operational information from the second device to the first device;
- and
- inputting, by one or more processors, human interface device data from the first device to the target device, wherein the human interface device data is based on the operational information.
