  • Patent number: 9167020
    Abstract: An invention is disclosed for conducting a remote presentation session with a client that uses a web browser to conduct the session. In embodiments, a proxy server exists between the remote presentation server and the client. The proxy server establishes a HTTP session with the client and a remote presentation session with the client. The server generates graphics encoded with a remote presentation protocol and sends them to the proxy, which re-encodes them as video and sends them to the client for display in the web browser. The client captures user input at the web browser and sends it to the proxy, which encodes it with the remote presentation protocol and sends it to the server to be processed.

  • Publication number: 20050125560
    Abstract: Systems and methods of a Web service for remote terminal service application discovery are described. In one aspect, a Web service in an Intranet is provided. The Web service is coupled to a public network. The Web service facilitates remote client computer discovery over the public network of information corresponding to application(s) deployed on the Intranet. The remote client computer is external to the Intranet. The application(s) are configured for terminal server based access for a user of the remote client computer.

  • Publication number: 20050125529
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enumerating applications by a remote client computer are described. The applications are deployed in an Intranet. The remote client computer is external to the Intranet. In one aspect, a remote application discovery request is sent to a Web service. The Web service is deployed on a remote applications publication (RAP) Web server in the Intranet. The remote application discovery request is sent to the Web service by the remote client computer via a public network that connects the remote client computer to the Web server. Responsive to sending the remote application discover request, a discovery response from the Web service is received. The discovery response identifies at least one application installed on the Intranet for terminal server (TS) based access by a user of the remote client computer.

  • Publication number: 20050125530
    Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting a merged view of remotely installed applications to which a user has terminal server (TS) based access are described. In one aspect, a client computing device generates one or more shortcuts to one or more respective applications. Each of the applications is installed at one or more installation points in an Intranet. The client computing device is external to the Intranet. The one or more shortcuts are aggregated to present a merged view of the applications. The merged view is transparent of whether the applications are managed by different information sources on the Intranet and/or configured for remote TS-based execution by different ones of one or more installation points.

  • Publication number: 20050060367
    Abstract: A server-client system is configured to store, on a client, server configuration information relating to a peripheral device connected at the client and parameter settings for the peripheral device. The information is updated as changes occur. After the client has been disconnected from the system and the peripheral device uninstalled, the peripheral device is automatically installed and the parameter settings restored without requiring significant user interaction when the client reconnects. The automatic installation and restoring is performed even if the client is connected to a different server than it was originally.
