## Description

Remote Desktop Control is a Java-based platform designed for remote desktop administration and system management. It enables users to access and control distant computers by streaming real-time screen imagery and relaying keyboard and mouse inputs between a controller and a target machine.

The system distinguishes itself through a modular architecture that supports dynamic command handler injection and pluggable input drivers, allowing for functional extensions without modifying the core application. To ensure connectivity across restrictive firewalls and diverse network environments, the platform utilizes a centralized relay server to route traffic between nodes.

The software maintains stable communication through persistent session management, which incorporates automated reconnection logic and heartbeat signals to verify link status. Performance is managed by transmitting only differential screen updates and consolidating sequential input commands to reduce bandwidth consumption. The application provides a graphical user interface built with Swing for session management and visual feedback.
