Abstract: Aspects described herein allow multiple devices to function as a coherent whole, allowing each device to take on distinct functions that are complementary to one another. Aspects described herein also allow the devices function as a coherent whole when interconnected devices and their respective applications are configured to operate in various operation modes, when management policies are employed to control the operation of the interconnected devices and their respective applications, when transferring content between the interconnected devices and storing the content at those devices, when obtaining access credentials for the interconnected devices that enable the devices to access enterprise resources, when a policy agent applies management policies to control operation of and interaction between the interconnected devices, and when the interconnected devices are used to access an enterprise application store.

Abstract: A technique for facilitating online collaboration among users of client machines allows multiple users to work together and concurrently on a set of documents. In response to a request from a user, a server opens a document in a software application running on the server and virtualizes the software application to the client machines. Multiple users can then operate the software application from the respective client machines to edit the document via remote control. The server multiplexes pointer input from the client machines to provide pointer input to the software application from one user at a time. Multiplexing of pointer input takes place seamlessly and automatically in response to user activity with respect to the virtualized software application.

Abstract: Systems and methods for interconnecting devices using an orchestration framework are provided herein. An orchestration framework may be provided, and the orchestration framework may interconnect multiple of devices such that the devices are available to share content and computing activities with one another. The orchestration framework may coordinate interactions between the devices that are interconnected with each other through the orchestration framework. A request to share content may be received from one of the devices. The distribution of the content to one or more of the devices may be managed using the orchestration framework. The content may be a file uploaded to a remote data store, content stored at a clipboard that is accessible to the interconnected devices, or a link.

Abstract: By enabling mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablets, to leverage native user interface components, the methods and systems described herein provide users a more seamless experience, wherein the user can potentially be oblivious to the fact that the application is not executing locally on the mobile device. In some embodiments, a user interface is provided which the user uses to trigger the display of a native user interface component. In some embodiments, the systems and methods described herein auto-adjust the pan and zoom settings on the mobile device to ensure that remote windows are presented in a manner that makes it easier for the user to interact with the device. The systems and methods described herein permit the user to switch to the new window in focus or a visual cue may be displayed to indicate that a window has been created somewhere on the remote desktop.

Abstract: Methods and systems for automatic setup and initiation of meeting resources are described herein. A meeting room, area, or resource may be equipped with a camera or other proximity based sensor to determine when a user enters the meeting area. The camera may perform initial recognition of a user, e.g., based on facial or body recognition. The system may then authenticate the user as the meeting organizer using a second recognition technique, e.g., voice recognition. Based on the user authentication, the system may query the meeting organizer's calendar (or other resource) for meeting information, download an associated meeting presentation from cloud storage, initiate meeting (e.g., screen sharing) software, notify any missing attendees that the meeting has begun, and launch the presentation on a shared screen. The meeting organizer may then control the presentation using video and/or voice. All may be completed without the meeting organizer being required to touch anything.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to generating a display having graphical and/or media components at a client. In one aspect, a method for generating a graphical display at a client includes transmitting output from an application program executing on a server to the client, identifying a non-textual element within the application output, retrieving a compressed data format associated with the non-textual element, and transmitting to the client the compressed data format in place of the non-textual element. In another aspect, a method for generating a media presentation at a client includes transmitting output from an application program executing on a server to the client, identifying a media stream within the application output, intercepting an original compressed data set representing at least a portion of the media stream before processing by the application program, and transmitting the original compressed data set to the client.

Abstract: A method for maintaining a full-screen, integrated desktop environment on a remote machine for display to a user by a local machine includes monitoring, by a first agent on the remote machine, a desktop environment providing integrated access to a resource provided to a user of the local machine by the remote machine and a resource provided by the local machine to the user. The first agent generates a proxy window representing a window on the local machine displaying output data generated by the second resource and receives an identification of a change to the window on the local machine. The first agent modifies at least one data object in the desktop environment responsive to the change. The first agent transmits, to a second agent on the local machine, an identification of the modification. The second agent modifies attribute data associated with a data object displayed by the local machine.
