Retrieving data from NetworkView objects?

I'm trying to create an iPad app that shows a controller and that controller sends data to a computer running the actual game. So I'm trying to send the value of the two joysticks on the iPad to the computer to control movement and camera without actually showing the joysticks on the computer. The same goes for the iPad; I only want to see the joysticks, not the actual gameplay. What is the best way of going about this? Maybe I'm just not fully aware of the functionally of the NetworkView object, but is there a simple way of only getting the transform data of the joystick without showing it? Or should I be doing something else entirely.
