Virtual input device-based method and system for remotely controlling pc

A method for controlling a personal computer (PC) from a mobile device, comprising:

• displaying, by a first input module operating on the mobile device, an input GUI on the mobile device, wherein the first input module interacts with a second input module operating on the PC;
• upon receiving an activation of a virtual input on the input GUI, retrieving a plurality of simulated inputs that is associated with the virtual input;
• and
• transmitting the plurality of simulated inputs to the second input module, wherein the second input module is configured to perform each of the plurality of simulated inputs on the PC.

A method for remotely controlling a personal computer (PC) from a mobile device, comprising:

• displaying, by a first input module operating on the mobile device, an input GUI on the mobile device, wherein the first input module interacts with a second input module operating on the PC;
• displaying, by the first input module, a plurality of candidate simulated inputs that can be associated with a virtual input;
• and
• upon receiving a selection of a subset of simulated inputs from the plurality of candidate simulated inputs, creating, by the first input module, the virtual input with an input association between the virtual input and the subset of simulated inputs, wherein when the virtual input is activated on the input GUI,
• the first input module is configured to retrieve, based on the input association, the subset of simulated inputs that are associated with the virtual input, and transmit the subset of simulated inputs to the second input module, and
• the second input module is configured to perform the subset of simulated inputs on the PC.
