ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a system which has a first computer (herein termed the SUPPORT PC) and second remotely located computer (herein termed the CUSTOMER PC). The SUPPORT PC and the CUSTOMER PC each have a display. The image displayed on the CUSTOMER PC's display is transmitted to and duplicated on the SUPPORT PC's display. The SUPPORT PC is equipped with an analog input device (such as a mouse), the efficient operation of which requires immediate visual feedback. Signals from the input device are transmitted to the remote CUSTOMER PC. The images which appear on the display of the remote CUSTOMER PC are transmitted, relatively slowly, to the display of the SUPPORT PC. In order to provide immediate visual feedback to the operator of the input device at the SUPPORT PC, a Dynamic Temporary Dual Cursor is shown on the screen of the SUPPORT PC along with the regular cursor which is transmitted from the CUSTOMER PC. The Dynamic Temporary Dual Cursor is moved in quick synchronization with movement of the input device, that is, the Dynamic Temporary Dual Cursor moves in direct response to the input device. In due time the image of the cursor transmitted from the remote CUSTOMER PC coincides with and merges with the image of the Dynamic Temporary Dual Cursor.
