  • Apparatus and method for preventing screen savers from shutting down ToL clients
    Patent number: 6384853
    Abstract: A telephony-over-LAN client is provided which disables a screen saver during active calls by generating a software interrupt indicative of either false keyboard interrupts or false mouse movements. The ToL client is configured to periodically activate such an interrupt during an active call immediately prior to the end of the timeout period of the screen saver. Alternatively, or in addition to the above-mentioned false keyboard interrupts or mouse movements, a false write to the hard drive might be provided.
