Abstract: A method for improving application sharing by dynamic partitioning can include partitioning a screen display of an application into grid regions and, in response to detecting that an application image in the plurality of grid regions have changed, offsetting positions of the grid regions, so that the changed portions of the application image are in fewer grid regions using a computer system. The method also can include transmitting image data in the offset grid regions involving the changed portions of the application image and identifications and offset data of the offset grid regions to an application sharing client.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for restoring an occluded window in application sharing. The method includes the steps of: detecting whether an unshared window occludes part of all of a shared window; making the unshared window semitransparent by an alpha blending operation in response to detecting an unshared window that occludes part or all of a shared window; changing the value of the alpha factor in the alpha blending operation, thus obtaining two alpha blended images; and restoring the occluded shared window by using the two alpha blended images.

Abstract: A method for configuring mirrors of virtual storage devices in a virtual host includes obtaining a topology connection relationship between the virtual storage devices to be configured with mirrors and the virtual host, where the topology connection relationship is a hierarchical relationship in a tree shape with the virtual host as a root node and the virtual storage devices to be configured with mirrors as leaf nodes, and configuring the mirrors of the virtual storage devices to be configured with mirrors in the virtual host according to the obtained topology connection relationship. The method and the system for configuring mirrors of virtual storage devices in a virtual host can increase reliability.
