Claim Text:
1. A method to remotely control a server via a viewer associated with a client device, the method comprising: receiving, by the server, a user input, the user input being input to the client device and transferred to the server via a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) network connection, generating, via the server, a sequence of images, an identifier associated with the sequence of images and a transmission indicator, wherein the identifier includes a digital watermark, the transmission indicator indicates whether the sequence of images are transmittable via a lossless or a lossy compression algorithm, and at least one of the user input, the sequence of images and the identifier includes a time stamp; sending the sequence of images with the identifier and the transmission indicator from the server to an agent associated with the server such that that sequence of images are sent to the agent prior to modifying the sequence of images based on the transmission indicator; modifying, via the agent, the sequence of images based on the transmission indicator to generate a modified sequence of images; sending, via the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) network connection, the modified sequence of images with the identifier from the agent to the viewer; sending, via a Remote View Integrity Channel (RVIC) channel, a reference identifier from the agent to the viewer, the reference identifier being a duplicate copy of the identifier sent to the viewer via a different communication channel from the identifier; comparing, by the viewer, the identifier with the reference identifier for conformity; generating, by the viewer, a confirmation signal in an event of conformity, the confirmation signal including a frame-drop data record from which at least one frame-drop rate is calculated; and displaying the sequence of images on the viewer.
