Abstract:
The disclosure provides techniques for storage device input/output (I/O) performance improvement in a remote computing environment. Embodiments include creating, on a remote device that is remote from a client device, a virtual storage device corresponding to a physical storage device that is located on the client device. Embodiments include receiving, by a driver on the remote device, a request from an application on the remote device to perform an input or output operation with respect to the virtual storage device. Embodiments include sending, by the remote device, a block-level input or output operation to the client device based on the request. Embodiments include receiving, by the remote device, a result of the block-level input or output operation from the client device. Embodiments include providing, by the driver on the remote device, to the application, a response to the request based on the result of the block-level input or output operation.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides an approach for device redirection in a remote computing environment. Embodiments include receiving, at a remote device from a client device over a network, input data of a peripheral device associated with the client device. Embodiments include receiving, at an emulated device running on the remote device, a request for device data from an application running on the remote device. Embodiments include responding, by the emulated device to the application, to the request with a response message having a format associated with the request, the response message being based on the input data. Embodiments include transmitting, from the remote device to the client device over the network, image data representing the application running on the remote device as controlled based on the input data.
Abstract:
An example method is provided for a computing device, coupled to a first display and a second display, to conceal sensitive information on a display. The method may comprise in response to detecting sensitive information in a desktop shown on the first display, generating a replacement image that conceals the detected sensitive information in the desktop and sending the replacement image to the second display for display. Otherwise, a mirror image of the desktop shown on the first display may be sent to the second display for display.
Abstract:
A scanner redirection method for a remote desktop system that includes a client computing device that has running therein a scanner redirection module, and a host server, the scanner redirection module including a data source manager for communicating with a data source that is configured to communicate with a physical scanner, includes the steps of: receiving from an application running on the host server, a request for a scanned image; in response to the request for the scanned image, transmitting to the data source a request to acquire the scanned image from the physical scanner; and upon receiving the scanned image from the data source, transmitting the scanned image to the application.
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 scanner redirection method includes the steps of: receiving from an application running on a host server, a request for scanner properties; acquiring properties of the physical scanner; converting the properties of the physical scanner that are described according to a first scanning protocol to properties of the physical scanner that are described according to a second scanning protocol; transmitting the properties of the physical scanner that are described according to the second scanning protocol to the application; in response to detecting a user selection made on an image of a user interface, transmitting the user selection to the application; and in response to the user selection, receiving from the application, a request for a scanned image, and transmitting a request to an image capture core to acquire the scanned image from the physical scanner.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides an approach for storage device write performance improvement in a remote computing environment. Embodiments include creating, on a remote device that is remote from a client device, a virtual storage device corresponding to a physical storage device physically connected to the client device. Embodiments include receiving, by a driver on the remote device, a request from an application on the remote device to perform a write operation with respect to the virtual storage device. Embodiments include sending, by the remote device, a write operation to the client device based on the request. Embodiments include prior to receiving a confirmation from the client device that the write operation was received or completed, sending, by the driver, to the application, a message indicating that the write operation is complete. Embodiments include receiving, by the driver, based on the message, an additional request to perform an additional write operation.
Abstract:
A scanning preview method for a remote desktop system that includes a client computing device that has running therein a remote desktop client application including a scanner redirection module, and a host server, the scanner redirection module including a scanner core that is configured to communicate with a physical scanner, includes the steps of: receiving from an application running on the host server, a request for a preview of a scanned image; in response to the request for the preview of the scanned image, transmitting to the scanner core a request to acquire the scanned image from the physical scanner; and upon receiving the scanned image from the scanner core, transmitting the scanned image to the application, and in response thereto, receiving from the application an image of a remote desktop that includes the scanned image.
Abstract:
A method is provided for a presenter device to screen share a remote desktop on a remote server with participant devices in a wireless network including the presenter device and the participant devices. The presenter device connects to the remote desktop through the wireless network. The presenter device receives screen data of the remote desktop and multicasts the screen data to a multicast group through the wireless network. The presenter device transmits a multicast address to the participant devices through the wireless network. The participant devices use the multicast address to receive the screen data through the wireless network.
