Abstract: A collaborative computing device group operative under a shared multiple discrete desktop user interface is established from a first desktop of a first computing device and a different discrete desktop of a second computing device physically located in user visual proximity to the first computing device. A color-coded graphical representation of a user-interface control port that allows authorized cursor navigation to and from the second computing device is displayed on the first desktop oriented in a respective direction of the second computing device. A cursor of the second computing device is authorized to migrate, under control of a user of the second computing device, from the different discrete desktop through the color-coded graphical representation of the user-interface control port of the second computing device to the first desktop and the first computing device is controlled in accordance with visual navigation and control of the cursor of the second computing device.

Abstract: Collaborating within a network computing system includes establishing a peer-to-peer communication link between a first computing system and a second computing system. The first computing system includes a first display device and a first pointer upon the display device. The second computing system includes a second display device and a second pointer upon the second display device. The second computing system receives first pointer control data for the first pointer indicating that the first pointer is to be displayed upon the second display device. The first pointer is displayed upon the second display device as specified by the first pointer control data. The second computing system moves the first pointer on the second display device responsive to second pointer control data received from the first computing system. The first pointer remains under control of the first computing system while the second pointer remains under control of the second computing system.
