  • Publication number: 20250028550
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for hiding a primary user's sensitive information in collaborative virtual desktop sessions where multiple secondary users access the primary user's virtual desktop. In particular, embodiments described herein leverage a mechanism for monitoring when designated sensitive applications are opened in the virtual desktop. After the primary user sets up a collaborative session on their virtual desktop, if a sensitive application opens in the virtual desktop during the collaborative session, the sharing of the desktop graphical user interface (GUI) can be stopped and the user can be prompted (e.g., via a warning dialog that pops up) to choose how to proceed. For example, the user can choose to hide the entire desktop, to minimize or close the sensitive application, or to continue sharing the desktop but pop-out the sensitive application from the remote desktop in a separate window that is not shared with the collaborators.

  • Publication number: 20240231609
    Abstract: A remote desktop can be displayed with controllable transparency over a local desktop. The transparency may be varied using hotkeys. Hotkeys may also be used to control/switch the direction of user input, such as mouse and keyboard events, so as to direct the user input to the remote desktop or to the local desktop.

  • Patent number: 11934803
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for workflow service application searching. In some aspects, a search query is entered through a search element of a workflow application on a client device. A request is transmitted from a workflow application to a workflow service, to search within an application based on the search query. Application content corresponding to the search query and the application is received from the workflow service. A search result is provided based on the application content and without opening the application on the client device.

  • Patent number: 11763231
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for workflow service application stating. In some aspects, an application content request is transmitted to a workflow service. The application content request can request updated states from a network service that acts as a back end for the application. The application content can be provided to the client device or other installed applications, without having opened the application on a client device.

  • Patent number: 11722550
    Abstract: An input device is shared between a first remote desktop having a first display image, which is displayed on a first display of a first client device, and a second remote desktop having a second display image, which is displayed on a second display of a second client device. Upon detecting that an input pointer of the input device currently displayed within the first display image on the first display, is moved across an edge of the first remote desktop that corresponds to a virtual boundary between the first remote desktop and the second remote desktop, instructions are issued to a first remote computing device that is hosting the first remote desktop to discontinue receiving inputs made with the input device and a second remote computing device that is hosting the second remote desktop to begin receiving inputs made with the input device.

  • Patent number: 11593155
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for workflow service application networking. In some aspects, a workflow creation user interface is provided to create a networking workflow with at least one networking action. A networking action is specified for a first application to utilize application content from a second application. The networking action is verified based on a response to a test action request transmitted to the workflow service. The networking action is transmitted from the workflow application to a workflow service to cause the first application to utilize the application content from the second application according to the networking action.

  • Publication number: 20220269516
    Abstract: The disclosure provides for transitioning application windows between local and remote desktops. Example implementations include opening a first file with a first application to generate a first application window on a first desktop window on a user display; based at least on a trigger event for transitioning the first application window from the first desktop window to a second desktop window, determining whether a second application is available for the second desktop window to produce a version of the first application window; and based at least on the second application being available: transferring the first file across a network to become a second file; and opening the second file with the second application to generate a second application window on the second desktop window, the second application window replacing the first application window on the user display. The transition may go either direction.

  • Patent number: 11108868
    Abstract: A system is provided for switching a VDI collaborative session where multiple clients are collaboratively accessing a first virtual desktop to a second virtual desktop belonging to one of the collaborators. The owner of the second virtual desktop requests the system to switch the collaboration session to the second virtual desktop. The connection server disconnects the requesting user from the first virtual desktop, connects the user to the second virtual desktop, and invites the other collaborators to join the session on the second virtual desktop. After accepting the invitation, the collaborators are joined to the second virtual desktop and collaboration resumes on the second virtual desktop.

  • Patent number: 10162974
    Abstract: An example method is provided for a computing device, coupled to a first display and a second display, to conceal sensitive information on a display. The method may comprise in response to detecting sensitive information in a desktop shown on the first display, generating a replacement image that conceals the detected sensitive information in the desktop and sending the replacement image to the second display for display. Otherwise, a mirror image of the desktop shown on the first display may be sent to the second display for display.
