A novel model of console remote interaction based on I/O buffer access.

A model for remote interaction of user with console application is proposed according to the problems that console application compatibility would be reduced by adding remote communication module and system application compatibility would be reduced by redirecting standard I/O. This model devised a console application loader which adopted a method of writing commands into the console window input buffer by simulated keyboard input and reading echo data from its output buffer for interaction. The experimental results demonstrate that the model is appropriate for all kinds of normal console applications and cannot conflict with system software. It could be adopted for interacting with console application under the category of pervasive computing. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
