Automatic screen pop showing troubleshooting information

摘要

A method for efficiently and conveniently providing a remote troubleshooting service, in which a screen window automatically pops up, in response to an incoming call reporting a problem encountered at a client computer, to show the information that is helpful in solving the problem. The calling number or network address associated with the client computer is used as a key to query a database to obtain the helpful information, which is preferably updated periodically by running a software application in the client computer.
