Remotely configuring windows displayed on a display device

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a remote display device via a network connection, a plurality of window characteristics for a plurality of windows being simultaneously displayed on a primary display device, wherein the window characteristics comprise at least window size;
• generating for display, at the remote display device, a visual representation of the windows displayed on the primary display device based on the window characteristics;
• generating for display, at the remote display device, a textual display of the window characteristics;
• receiving, by the remote display device, an input associated with a modification of one or more of the displayed window characteristics;
• and
• sending, by the remote display device via the network connection, data representing the input, and the data modifying the characteristics of the windows on the primary display device.

A method comprising:

• generating for simultaneous display, on a primary display device, a plurality of windows;
• sending, via a network connection, for display at a remote display device, a visual representation of the plurality of windows displayed on the primary display device, to the remote display device;
• sending, via the network connection, textual descriptions of a plurality of window characteristics for the plurality of windows to the remote display device for display, wherein the window characteristics comprise at least window size;
• receiving, from the remote display device, updated data values associated with modifying the window characteristics;
• and
• updating the window characteristics on the primary display device based on the updated data values.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by one or more processors causes performance of:

• receiving, by a remote display device via the network connection, a plurality of window characteristics for a plurality of windows being simultaneously displayed on a primary display device, wherein the window characteristics comprise at least window size;
• generating for display, at the remote display device, a visual representation of the windows displayed on the primary display device based on the window characteristics;
• generating for display, at the remote display device, a textual display of the window characteristics;
• receiving, by the remote display device, an input associated with a modification of one or more of the displayed window characteristics;
• and
• sending, by the remote display device via the network connection, data representing the input, the data modifying the characteristics of the windows on the primary display device.

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a data receiver at a remote display device that receives, via a network connection, a plurality of window characteristics for a plurality of windows being simultaneously displayed on a primary display device, wherein the window characteristics comprise at least window size;
• a display generator at the remote display device that generates for display a visual representation of the windows displayed on the primary display device based on the window characteristics, and further generates for display a textual display of the window characteristics;
• an input receiver at the remote display device, that receives an input associated with a modification of the one or more of the displayed window characteristics;
• and
• a data sender at the remote display device, that sends, from the remote display device via the network connection, data representing the input, and the data modifying the characteristics of the windows on the primary display device.
