  • Patent number: 11496560
    Abstract: A virtual desktop server include an application framework comprising a real-time media application to provide real-time communications (RTC), a native RTC engine to execute a portion of the real-time media application when received, and a processor coupled to the application framework and to the native RTC engine. The processor redirects original application program interfaces (APIs) of the real-time media application intended for the native RTC engine based on redirection code injected into the real-time media application so that the portion of the real-time media application is to be redirected. The processor receives from a client computing device capabilities of the client computing device to execute the redirected portion of the real-time media application. The processor switches to a fallback mode if the client computing device has limited capabilities.

  • Patent number: 11245754
    Abstract: A server includes at least one processor configured to execute a media application to provide media streaming that includes at least one video stream and at least one overlay on the at least one video stream. A portion of the media streaming is redirected by providing a placeholder to indicate positioning geometry of the at least one video stream within a media window, with the placeholder to include the at least one overlay. The processor detects the placeholder and determines positioning geometry associated therewith. A color and an alpha blending factor of the at least one overlay is determined based on calculations involving different colors of the at least one underlay at different times.

  • Patent number: 11240297
    Abstract: A computing system includes a server to execute a first portion of a real-time media application so as to integrate with other desktop applications and other operating system functionality, and to redirect intercepted APIs of the real-time media application based on redirection code injected into the real-time media application so that a second portion of the real-time media application is redirected. A client computing device communicates with the server, and executes the redirected second portion of the real-time media application. The redirected second portion of the real-time media application corresponds to real-time media processing and networking off-loaded from the server to the client computing device.

  • Publication number: 20210119871
    Abstract: Methods and systems for proxy configuration for multiple networks are described herein. A computing device may receive a configuration file of a client network and a configuration file of a host network. The computing device may also receive configuration data. The configuration files and/or the configuration data may indicate methods for accessing resources of the client network and/or the host network. The computing device may generate, based on the configuration file of the client network, the configuration file of the host network, and/or the configuration data, a merged configuration file. The computing device may cause configuration of a device with the merged configuration file for accessing the resources.

  • Publication number: 20210072868
    Abstract: Aspects described herein are directed to the redirection of web content from a virtual desktop session on a remote computing device to a client computing device for rendering. A first application executing on a client device may determine to establish a remote session for a user of the client device. The first application may send a request to a server. The request may be configured to cause the server to monitor for updates associated with the remote session. After the remote session is established, the first application may receive redirected content via the remote session. The redirected content is associated with identification of whether to redirect information via the remote session. The first application may send the redirected content to a second application executing on the client device to render the redirected content.

  • Patent number: 10871873
    Abstract: Aspects described herein are directed to the redirection of web content from a virtual desktop session on a remote computing device to a client computing device for rendering. A virtual delivery agent on the remote computing device may remote a web browser instance to a receiver on a client computing device. The virtual delivery agent may receive, from the remoted browser instance on client computing device, a uniform resource locator (URL). Based on the URL, the virtual delivery agent on the remote computing device may terminate loading of page content associated with the URL on the remote computing device. The virtual delivery agent may instruct the client computing device to render the page content in an overlaid position corresponding to the remoted web browser instance on the receiver of the client computing device.
