Livescreen is a desktop sharing and remote access application that allows users to share their desktop screen, remotely control another machine, log off or restart the remote machine. It uses Java socket programming to establish a connection between the client and server machines. The client machine can view and control the server's desktop by running the desmon.jar file and entering the server's IP address, while the server runs the setclient.jar file. Keyboard and mouse inputs are sent from client to server using Java Robot classes. Screenshots are converted to images and sent continuously from server to client over the socket connection.

1. LIVESCREEN
A Desktop sharing and access application

2. Features available
 Share the desktop screen.
 Remotely control the desktop of another
machine.
 Can log-off the current user of another
machine.
 Can restart the other machine.
 Also shutdown the other machine.

3. Requirements
 Interacting machines will require JVM(Java
Virtual Machine).
 Both the computers must be connected via
local network(i.e. LAN).

4. The terminology used
 Client :- The machine which wants to view and
access the desktop of another machine.
 Server :- The machine who complete control is
given to a client, which seamlessly sends the
data.

5. How to use?
 The server machine must run the “setclient.jar”
file.
 The client machine must run the “desmon.jar”
file.
 The client must now click “ADDPC” button and
enter the server’s IP address.

6.  Now the client must click “CONNECT” button
and the choice of operation.
 he different options available are SHARE,
LOGOFF, RESTART, SHUTDOWN.

7.  Server has the facility to terminate the
connection anytime by clicking the
“TERMINATE” button on the server window.
 Also client the disconnect the connection by
clicking the “DISCONNECT” button.

8. Software Requirements
 Operating System: Windows XP or higher
 Frame work: Java
 Languages: Java
 Software Development Kit: Net Beans IDE
6.9.1

9. Basic components
 Java AWT and Robot Classes.
 Socket Programming.
 Java Swing Classes

10. How we implemented?
 The connection is established by entering the
IP address of the server machine using a
socket program.
 Java robot class is used to take screenshots of
the server screen on the server side.

11.  These screenshots are converted to from jpeg
to imageicon format and sent continuously
through the socket connection created.
 The robot class is also used to send the
mouse and keyboard events from the client
to the server.

12.  .The robot class on the server accepts incoming
events from the client and thus, facilitates the
remote access.
 In the similar manner we have implemented the
restart and shutdown feature.

13. Future Scope
 Addition of chat application.
 Conversion of LIVEScreen from Jframe to Applet
to facilitate browser implementation of the
application.
 Implementing the LIVEScreen using the UDP for
more reliable data transfer.
