ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for synchronizing the display of the output of one or more applications being shared on participating host and guest computers, where the respective areas available for display of the output are unequal. In one embodiment, the host or a guest may alter the output display on the monitor's of all other guest participants. The host issues a command receivable by participating guests to alter the displayed output on the guest monitors corresponding to display output surrounding a point movable within the output display on the host monitor. A guest wishing to alter the output display on other guest monitors issues a request receivable by the host which in turn issues a command to all guests to update their output displays. The guests can be instructed to update the displays on their monitors to display output surrounding a point, movable under control of the requesting guest, within the output displayed on the requesting guest's monitor. In another embodiment, the output displayed on a guest monitor is updated automatically, as a shared cursor is moved from the boundary of the output displayed on the guest monitor.
