Computer-implemented method for controlling a remote device with a local device

A non-transitory or transitory computer-readable medium, comprising instructions stored thereon, that when executed on a processor of a local device, perform the steps of:

• displaying at least a part of a content of a first screen of a remote device on a second screen of the local device with a magnification m;
• the local device records a user-action performed on the local device;
• if the value of the magnification m is greater than a threshold value M, the local device interprets the user-action as a command destined for itself and executes the command;
• if the value of the magnification m is equal to or smaller than the threshold value M, the local device interprets the user-action as a command destined for the remote device and transmits the command to the remote device for execution on the remote device.

A computer program comprising instructions which, when the computer program is executed by a local device, cause the local device to carry out the following steps:

• displaying at least a part of a content of a first screen of a remote device on a second screen of the local device with a magnification m;
• the local device records a user-action performed on the local device;
• if the value of the magnification m is greater than a threshold value M, the local device interprets the user-action as a command destined for itself and executes the command;
• if the value of the magnification m is equal to or smaller than the threshold value M, the local device interprets the user-action as a command destined for the remote device and transmits the command to the remote device for execution on the remote device.
