  • Patent number: 6115027
    Abstract: A non-intrusive cursor synchronization system is described that does not change or modify the existing system or application. The cursor synchronization system is used for synchronously displaying a cursor on a plurality of display systems connected together via a network without requiring database or shared memory. The cursor synchronization system includes a plurality of agents, each being coupled to one of the display systems to cause the respective display system to display a consistent cursor movement, and to trigger concurrent execution among a number of existing applications. The cursor synchronization system also includes a cursor synchronizer that captures and compresses the cursor movement generated from one of the display systems within a time interval that is adjustable based on the speed at which the user moves the cursor.
