ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus which dynamically controls a remote system's access to a selected application(s) of a host computer system coupled to the remote system. The host system transfers an access level to the remote system, which indicates whether modifications to the selected application(s) can be made by the remote system. The host system also transfers information indicating the current display of the selected application(s) to the remote system. The remote system may then transfer information to the host system, depending on this access level. The remote system's ability to transfer information to the host system can be altered by the host system while the remote system is coupled to the host system. In one embodiment, the remote system can be given either unlocked or locked access. Unlocked access allows the remote system to transfer information to the host system which modifies the selected application(s) on the host system. Locked access prevents the remote system from modifying the selected application(s), however the remote system still receives information from the host system indicating the current display of the selected application(s) on the host system.
