The Design and Implementation of the Computer Room Monitor and Control System
Abstract
It is necessary to provide a computer room monitor and control system with good quality so that the users will obey the room rules and the room can work effectively in a steady environment. After analyzing the process of the computer room management and studying some Cyber-Cafe management system, the concept framework of the computer room monitor and control system was gained. At least, the monitor system must provide abilities to snap the screen of the computer specified by the manager, to disabled the input function of the keyboard and the mouse and to send messages to the computer users.
This article enumerated the technologies needed for the implementation of the monitor system and introduced in detail about the issue that how to build a Win32 executable system by using the VC++6.0 as the development tools. In this article, the 2nd chapter introduced the TCP/IP protocol and the Socket programming; the 3rd chapter described the design goals and the communication protocol; the 4th chapter covered the technology cores of the monitor and control system, which were screen snapping, screen locking and communication between server and client. This article advanced a complete solution for the design and implementation of the computer room monitor system and the solution will be reference for similar applying.
