Meeting Term Definition:


  Remote Computer Control


    (Including excerpts from Wikipedia)

Confer & Inform Meeting uses the term remote computer control or remote PC control to represent the online access and/or control of another computer over the internet.

Remote control software is software used in remote administration to allow use of computers or other hardware at a separate location. A typical use is to control a computing server or desktop computer from another desktop computer. The remote control software consists of two separate computer programs, a "host version" that is installed on the computer to be controlled, and a "client version" that is installed on the controlling computer.

Duplicate desktop

Remote control is possible in two modes:

The controlling computer displays a copy of the image received from the controlled computer's display screen. The copy is updated on a timed interval, or when a change on screen is noticed by the remote control software.

The software on the controlling computer transmits its own keyboard and mouse activity to the controlled computer, where the remote control software implements these actions. The controlled computer then behaves as if the actions were performed directly at that computer.

The duplicate desktop mode is useful for user support and education. Remote control software combined with telephone communication can be as helpful for novice computer-users as if the assistant was actually there.

It can also be used for "headless computers". Instead of having separate monitors and keyboards for each computer, or using a KVM switch, one can attach a single monitor, keyboard and mouse to one computer with remote control software, and use it for operating the other computers.

As soon as the customer receives and starts the computer, the support tech can instantly gain control of the system and conduct remote configuration and support. The customer does not need to do anything but connect the server Ethernet cable and turn on the machine.
