  • Device that interacts with target applications
    Patent number: 6453254
    Abstract: A method and system for monitoring a series of events performed in one or more applications on a computer. The recorded events enable users on the same or different machines to repeat the recorded events at a future time. The recorded events thus improve efficiency of an experienced user and/or demonstrate to a new user how more experienced users operate the application(s). The real-time sharing of recorded events allows multiple users to collaborate and “share” an application.
