Abstract: Systems and methods for obtaining access to a session with a remote cloud service server. The methods comprising: receiving, by a first client computing device, a user unique identifier from a mobile device located in proximity to the first client computing device; and performing facial recognition operations by the first client computing device subsequent to the reception of the user unique identifier. The facial recognition operations comprise: capturing an image of the mobile device's user; and analyzing the image to obtain a user name associated with the facial features represented therein. A determination is made as to whether the user name matches the user unique identifier. If so, a first session with the remote cloud service server is automatically launched.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for transmitting data from a host computing device to a client computing device. This data may include graphical data, which may require additional processing by a renderer, such as a graphical processing unit (GPU), prior to being transmitted. Upon being forwarded to a specialized hardware component that, for example, may combine a GPU with a controller and one or more network interfaces, the graphical data may be rendered, packetized and transmitted without being provided to a system memory of the host computing device or otherwise involving the host computing device. Data packets including rendered graphical data may be generated by a second processor, different from the host processor of the host computing device.
