Abstract:
Authentication to a remote-server from a computing device having stored credentials for the remote server is described. In one example, a method of authenticating a user to a remote server through a client application executing on a computing device includes: receiving, by the client application, a request to authenticate the user to the remote server using credentials stored on the computing device; prompting, by the client application, the user for gesture-based password; authenticating, by the client application, the gesture-based password; and sending, by the client application, the stored credentials to the remote server for authentication in response to successful authentication of the gesture-based password.
Abstract:
A method of generating text in a first language for incorporation into a remote desktop image to be displayed at a client device, based on inputs made at the client device in a second language different from the first language includes the steps of: transmitting the inputs at the client device in the second language to a remote device that is generating the remote desktop image; generating candidate text in the first language at the client device based on the inputs made at the client device in the second language; upon selection of the candidate text at the client device, transmitting the candidate text to the remote device for incorporation of the candidate text into an updated remote desktop image; and upon receipt of the updated remote desktop image, displaying the updated remote desktop image at the client device.
