Project Abstract

The purpose of this project is to develop a set of Remote Desktop interfaces for the Ebox. By the use of Remote Desktop Connection that is part of Windows CE 6 kernel, one can export a Microsoft Windows XP / Vista desktop to an Ebox and control it from there. By the use of Remote Display Application (cerdisp) on the Ebox and cerhost application on the PC (XP/Vista) one can remotely view and control the Ebox over WiFi / Ethernet.
 

We have also developed two print-screen utilities for Windows CE 6. One is just a standalone application that takes a screen shot and stores it as a jpeg image when the print-screen key is pressed. The second application takes a screen shot every 12 seconds and stores it as a jpeg in \Windows\www\wwwpub\ folder. Since we are running a web server on the Ebox, a remote user can see the current state of the Ebox using a standard web browser.
