1. An access device to a user interface of a mobile computer configured as a smartphone, the access device comprising:
a wireless Wi-Fi interface connected to a local network and configured to:
receive via the local network and transmit via the local network to any other computer network of screen broadcast data representing a broadcast of the screen of the mobile computer to a controlling computer, and
receive Internet Protocol (IP) format data corresponding to a manipulation of an interface of peripheral input devices of the mobile computer from the controlling computer;
a proxy server application for relaying the screen broadcast data representing the broadcast of the screen of the mobile computer to the controlling computer to other networks;
a conversion gateway application for converting the IP format data corresponding to the manipulation of the interface of the peripheral input devices of the mobile computer arriving from the controlling computer into a Human Interface Device (HID) format data compatible with the interface of the peripheral input devices of the mobile computer, the conversion gateway application containing:
an IP interface connected to a computer network for obtaining the IP format data corresponding to a manipulation of a peripheral input device of the mobile computer from the controlling computer; and
an HID interface for direct connection, via a Bluetooth interface of the access device, with a Bluetooth interface of the mobile computer;
wherein, after conversion of the IP format data into the HID format compatible with the interface of the peripheral input devices of the mobile computer, the HID interface of the access device transfers, via the Bluetooth interface of the access device, to the Bluetooth interface of the mobile computer, the HID format data representing the manipulation of the peripheral input device of the mobile computer from the controlling computer; and
wherein, after the mobile computer receives, via the Bluetooth interface of the mobile computer and from the Bluetooth interface of the access device, the HID format data representing the manipulation of the peripheral input device of the mobile computer from the controlling computer, the peripheral input device of the mobile computer performs, without requiring an application additionally installed on the mobile computer, an action corresponding to the manipulation of the peripheral input device of the mobile computer from the controlling computer.
