  • Patent number: 11768700
    Abstract: Methods and systems for using machine learning to provide application recommendations are described herein. A computing device may capture a first edge frame of a first application displayed at the computing device. The computing device may apply machine learning to the first edge frame of the first application to identify a context tag. The computing device may identify applications subsequently accessed in a sequential manner after accessing the first application in a context corresponding to the identified context tag, where each of the applications corresponds to a context level score. The computing device may identify a second application, which may have a higher context level score than remaining applications. Along with the first application, the computing device may display a selectable interface element corresponding to the second application, and selection of the selectable interface element may cause display of an application list that includes the second application.

  • Patent number: 11734408
    Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems, methods, non-transitory computer-readable medium for using a single sign-on (SSO) to access an application. A client application on a client device in communication with an identity provider and an application on a remote computing device. The client application can authenticate a user via an identity provider to establish an authentication session. The client application can identify a request to access a uniform resource locator (URL) of the application hosted on the remote computing device. The client application can determine that a configuration of the client application identifies a remapped URL for the URL is available. The client application can access the remapped URL instead of the URL to cause the user to use the authentication session of the identity provider and be redirected from the identity provider to a link of the application on the remote computing device.

  • Patent number: 11734635
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for deploying and implementing enterprise policies that control augmented reality computing functions are presented. A computing device may receive policy information defining policies that, when implemented, control capture of augmented renderings. After receiving the policy information, the computing device may intercept a request to capture at least one view having at least one augmented reality element. In response to intercepting the request, the computing device may determine whether the policies allow capture of views comprising augmented reality elements. Based on determining that the policies allow capture, the computing device may store view information associated with the at least one view having the at least one augmented reality element. Based on determining that the policies do not allow capture, the computing device may prevent the at least one view having the at least one augmented reality element from being captured.

  • Patent number: 11736429
    Abstract: Systems and methods including notification techniques for sharing information related to detected dialogs on secondary computing devices associated with a user are provided. For example, a system can include a user interface (UI) monitor on a first client computing device configured to detect a dialog and send an indication of the dialog to a workspace backend. The workspace backend can facilitate communication between the first client computing device and one or more secondary computing devices associated with the user such that the user receives notifications of dialogs displayed on the first client computing device on the one or more secondary computing devices. The user has the option of responding to the dialog on a secondary computing device, and the workspace backend facilitates transmission of the user response on the secondary computing device back to the first client computing device.

  • Patent number: 11733837
    Abstract: Methods and systems for unifying display of virtual resources are described herein. A virtual session between a client device and a server device may be established. During the virtual session, a user may request, via the client device, to access a uniform resource locator (URL) via a browser associated with the server device. The URL request may be redirected. For example, the client device may receive, from the server device, a request to access the URL via a different browser. The client device may determine another browser with which to access the URL, and the URL may be launched via the other browser. The client device may generate a unified display of the URL launched via the other browser and one or more other URLs.

  • Patent number: 11736337
    Abstract: Managing performance of elements providing a session via a multi-hop network topology is provided. A system receives values for factors associated with elements that form hops in a multi-hop network topology. The system determines a performance metric for each hop using the values for one or more factors selected from the factors. The system identifies a hop of the hops as having a performance issue based on the performance metric for the hop exceeding a threshold. The system selects, responsive to the performance metric of the hop exceeding the threshold, an action to take on at least one element forming the hop.

  • Patent number: 11729250
    Abstract: Systems and method for web control adaptation and hooking for virtual private network integration are provided herein. A client application executing on a client device can modify a scheme support function of a web control application to return a first value in response to a first scheme type. The first value can indicate that the web control application does not support the first scheme type. A custom scheme function can be registered to handle the first scheme type and can intercept requests of the first scheme type. The custom scheme function can transmit the requests to one or more URLs corresponding to one or more applications through a virtual private network (VPN). The custom scheme function can forward, to the web control application for rendering on the client device, the data corresponding to the application retrieved by the custom scheme function through the VPN.

  • Patent number: 11726987
    Abstract: A technique involves normalizing identification of users (e.g., different customer organizations) across disparate local systems (e.g., different electronic platforms that provide different products and/or services). Such normalization of user identification enables a provider to accurately ascertain a particular user of multiple disparate local systems even when the multiple disparate local systems identify that user using different identification schemes. Accordingly, the provider is able to offer enhanced support to that user across the multiple disparate local systems. For example, with such normalization of user identification, the provider may employ a single authentication system across the various local systems thus enabling the user to authenticate via the same authentication process regardless of which local system the user attempts to access.

  • Patent number: 11726833
    Abstract: A technique for dynamically provisioning virtual machines for running a cloud-based software application includes querying a pool manager of a multi-tiered pool of virtual machines to identify a set of classes of virtual machines, which meet a specified size criterion, and a respective TVC (time-variant characteristic) for each class. If an identified one of the set of classes has a smaller TVC than a TVC of one of the virtual machines currently running the application, the technique proceeds to swap the current virtual machine for a virtual machine having the identified class.

  • Patent number: 11726800
    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses may provide for the creation and management of applications with dependencies. An application executing via a client application on a computing device may require a dependency, such as a software module, that is unavailable at the computing device. The application may be compiled with a remote loader module. Based on determining the dependency is unavailable at the computing device, the remote loader module may send information about the dependency to a server, which may provide instructions for retrieving the dependency. The application may then, via the remote loader and based on the instructions, request the dependency. The server may locate the dependency or generate it based on capabilities of the computing device and send the dependency to the application. The application may execute with the received dependency.
