This study explores the integration of virtual network computing to enhance mobile computing systems. Focusing on the Pebbles project, we aim to establish a seamless connection between PDAs and desktop computers over wired LANs. Our objectives include discovering desktops, transporting PDA displays, and controlling PDA applications. The methodology involves a phased approach: from advertisement protocols to display transport and control mechanisms. By utilizing specific architectures and compression techniques, we aim to improve efficiency in mobile computing applications and user experience.

Motivation • Virtual Network Computing • Pebbles • PalmVNC
Objectives • Discover a desktop on a wired LAN • Transport the display of the PDA to desktop • Control the Applications of the PDA
Methodology Phase 1:Simple Advertisement Protocol -Discovery protocol Phase 2:Transport of Display -DDB to DIB format -Encoding algorithm Phase 3- Transport of Control -Trap mouse movement and keyboard events.
Virtual Network Computing - only Pixel function used in device driver - compression is application specific - directly deals with frame buffer PDA Display porter - uses pixel and line functions in device drivers. - run-length coding - common APIs Comparison
