Publication number: 20140298188Abstract: A remote operation method includes the following steps: receiving a remote operation request; returning a webpage interface for remote operation according to the remote operation request; receiving an operation instruction sent via the webpage interface; responding to the operation instruction and returning information corresponding to the operation instruction. A remote operation system is also disclosed. The above-mentioned method and system transmit the operation instruction through the webpage interface without need of real-time transmission of the computer operation screen, which can save the amount of the data to be transferred, so the demand for network bandwidth and the data processing amount by the control terminal and controlled terminal are both reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2014Publication date: October 2, 2014Inventors: Hang DONG, Kui HUANG, Xuan LUO, Xinqiu XIE

Patent number: 8850345Abstract: In a method for interacting with a system that includes physical devices that are interfaced with computer software, a graphical representation of a physical device that can be graphically interconnected with a graphical representation of a software module is generated. The graphical representation of the physical device is capable of being represented as either a graphical copy mode representation or a graphical ghost mode representation. On-screen interaction with functionality of the physical device is enabled when the graphical representation of the physical device is in the graphical copy mode representation. A true physical state of the physical device is tracked when the graphical representation of the physical device is in the graphical ghost mode representation. The tracking of the true physical state of the physical device disables on-screen interaction with functionality of the physical device. A dual-mode graphical user interface element for interfacing with a physical device also is described.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2004Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Oracle America, Inc.Inventor: Randall B. Smith
