  • Patent number: 10055105
    Abstract: An example method for providing simultaneous interaction with a plurality of application programs is described herein. The method includes providing a remote access framework for enabling a client to remotely access the application programs over a network, receiving a communication from the client through the remote access framework, and maintaining a state model within the remote access framework. The state model includes respective application states of the application programs. The method also includes, using the state model, linking interactive functionalities of the application programs, and generating display data indicative of a single user interface including the plurality of application programs. The method further includes communicating the display data to the client through the remote access framework.

  • Publication number: 20160342372
    Abstract: In a remote access environment that includes a server, a client device may remotely access, e.g., medical images from the server and may be provided with a mechanism to retrieve a test image, such as the TG-18 CT or TG-18 MP sample test patterns. The client device communicates display size information to the server, which generates the test image on-the-fly for the particular display size of the client device. For example, components in the test image and borders may be scaled to create an appropriate test image for any client device.

  • Patent number: 8890906
    Abstract: A method for remotely calibrating display of image data is provided. Using a processor of the client computer display data are determined. The display data are indicative of a luminance dynamic range of the display and of an ambient lighting environment of the display. The display data are then transmitted to a server computer. Using a processor of the server computer display adjustment data are determined in dependence upon the display data. The display adjustment data are then transmitted to the client computer. Alternatively, image data for displaying on the display are received. Adjusted image data are then determined in dependence upon the received image data and the display adjustment data and transmitted to the client computer.
