Routing of mobile computer screen broadcast streams to the control computer can be carried out on a local network, e.g., through DHCP or mDNS (DNS-SD) services, and relaying to other networks through an appropriate proxy server. The conversion of IP manipulation data coming from the control computer to the mobile computer interface is carried out using a gateway with IP and HID interfaces. The invention can be implemented both on the basis of one device with Bluetooth HID or USB HID options, and on the basis of a local network of a mobile computer containing routers and gateways with appropriate properties. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of access, over a global communication network, to a user interface of a mobile computer connected to a first network from a controlling computer connected to a second network different from the first network, the method comprising: displaying a broadcast of a screen of the mobile computer on a screen of the controlling computer; in response to a manipulation of a peripheral device of the controlling computer, receiving Human Interface Device (HID) format data corresponding to the manipulation of the peripheral device of the controlling computer; converting the HID format data corresponding to the manipulation of the peripheral device of the controlling computer into Internet Protocol (IP)-format data corresponding to the manipulation of the peripheral device of the controlling computer; transmitting the IP-format data from the controlling computer to the mobile computer via a conversion gateway in communication with both the controlling computer and the interface of peripheral input devices of the mobile computer; by the conversion gateway: receiving the IP-format data; converting the received IP-format data into the HID-format data corresponding to the manipulation of the peripheral device of the controlling computer; and transmitting the HID-format data converted from the received IP-format data by the conversion gateway to the interface of peripheral input devices of the mobile computer; and in response to receipt, by the interface of peripheral input devices of the mobile computer from the conversion gateway, of the HID-format data by the interface of peripheral input devices of the mobile computer, manipulating, by the interface of the peripheral input devices of the mobile computer, a peripheral input device of the mobile computer that corresponds to the peripheral device of the controlling computer subjected to the manipulation. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising broadcasting the screen of the mobile computer on the controlling computer over the global communication network. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising relaying broadcast streams of the screen of the mobile computer to the controlling computer via a proxy server; and providing a router or switch that incorporates the conversion gateway and the proxy server. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising connecting an IP interface of the conversion gateway to the first network and directly connecting an input device interface of the conversion gateway to the interface of the peripheral input devices of the mobile computer. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method according to claim 4, further comprising directly connecting the interface of the peripheral input devices of the mobile computer with interfaces of additional input devices without participation of the conversion gateway, wherein the additional input devices are used for accessing the user interface of the mobile computer simultaneously with broadcasting of the screen of the mobile computer on a monitor of the controlling computer. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising connecting an IP interface of the conversion gateway to the second network and directly connecting an input device interface of the conversion gateway to the interface of the peripheral input devices of the mobile computer. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising broadcasting of the screen of the mobile computer on the screen of the controlling computer via the first network. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising providing an electronic device connected to the first network and including: a proxy server for broadcasting of the screen of the mobile computer on the screen of the controlling computer; and the conversion gateway for transmitting the HID-format data of representing the manipulation of the peripheral device of the controlling computer and converted from the IP-format data to the interface of the peripheral input devices of the mobile computer. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the first network is a mobile IP network to which the mobile computer is connected, and further comprising broadcasting of the screen of the mobile computer on the screen of the controlling computer and receiving the HID-format data corresponding to the manipulation of the peripheral device of the controlling computer through the mobile IP network to which the mobile computer is connected. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising activating the broadcasting of the screen of the mobile computer on the screen of the controlling computer directly by the user of the mobile computer and activating the interface of the peripheral input devices of the mobile computer directly by the user of the mobile computer. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the mobile computer is selected from one of: a desktop computer, a server, a workstation, a laptop computer, a portable tablet, a smartphone and a microcomputer.
