    Abstract: Techniques are described for virtual desktop sharing and collaboration by utilizing image scanning and a web server. Upon launch, the virtual desktop client sets up a web server on the client computing device. During a virtual desktop session, the owner of the session provides input indicating that the session should be shared. A QR code is displayed on the client device which is encoded with information identifying the web server. When the QR code is scanned by a collaborator's mobile device, a web browser is launched on the mobile device and the web browser connects to the web server on the client computing device. The connection is used to transmit the request to access the virtual desktop session by the mobile device. If the session owner approves the request, the virtual desktop GUI data is streamed by the virtual desktop client to the mobile device over the HTTP connection.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for file/folder redirection for virtual desktops using image scanning. A virtual desktop client establishes a web server on the client computing device. The virtual desktop client detects input requesting file/folder redirection and displays a QR code encoded with the IP address of the web server. A mobile device scans the QR code using a digital camera and launches a web browser to establish a connection with the web server. User input is entered on the mobile device, indicating one or more files/folders to be shared with the virtual desktop. The information identifying the selected files/folders is sent to the client computing device. The selected files/folders are registered with the virtual desktop and the virtual desktop locally mounts a corresponding folder. The client computing device receives file I/O operations from the virtual desktop and redirects the file I/O operations to the mobile device over a secured HTTP connection.

    Abstract: A system for multimedia redirection where a virtual desktop client device can utilize the multimedia accessories such as digital camera(s) and/or microphone(s) of nearby mobile devices by utilizing image scanning techniques. The mobile device contains a web browser and image scanning technology, such as a QR code reader. The mobile device scans a QR code displayed by the virtual desktop client device and establishes a connection with a web server on the virtual desktop client device. The multimedia stream captured by the multimedia accessories of the mobile device is streamed to the virtual desktop client device using the connection and is redirected by the virtual desktop client device to the virtual desktop. The virtual desktop client device may also redirect multimedia, such as an audio-out stream received from the virtual desktop, to the mobile device in order to playback audio using the speaker of the mobile device.

    Abstract: An example method is provided for a computing device to perform user interface control based on a pinch gesture. The computing device includes a touch-sensitive display. The method may comprise: displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, a user interface that includes a user interface element, which occupies part of the user interface and is selectable for resizing, and detecting, on the touch-sensitive display, a pinch gesture for resizing the user interface element within the user interface. The method may further comprise: determining a direction of the pinch gesture; and based on the direction of the pinch gesture, resizing the user interface element horizontally, vertically or diagonally within the user interface.
