In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and one or more apparatuses are provided. The apparatuses may be one or more thin clients. Each of the one or more thin clients wirelessly connects with at least one peripheral. Each of the one or more thin clients establishes a remote session with a remote machine. The one or more thin clients are placed in an environment that is isolated from the at least one peripheral of each of the thin clients.

Wireless thin clients

Systems and methods for performing firmware update on an embedded system by patching. In operation, a computing device may receive an image of replacement firmware, which is a different version of current firmware stored in a non-volatile memory of the embedded system. The computing device then determines the different portions of the replacement firmware from the current firmware by comparing the image of the replacement firmware to the current firmware, and retrieves the different portions from the image of the replacement firmware to form the fragments. In this case, the computing device may create a patch file by data of the fragments, and send the patch file to the embedded system, such that the embedded system may use the patch file to update the current firmware. The size of the patch file would be relatively smaller than the firmware image, thereby reducing update time and resources consumption.

An embedded system includes a processor, a volatile memory coupled to the processor, and a non-volatile memory storing a computer executable code. The computer executable code, when executed by the at least one processor, is configured to: perform a boot process; display a splash screen during the boot process; and during the display of the splash screen: provide a plurality of interactive links between executing a plurality of applications and a plurality of inputs; receive one of the inputs from a user; and in response to receiving the one of the inputs, execute the corresponding application based on the interactive links after accomplishing the boot process.

Systems and methods for automatic power control and unusual activity detections for thin client computing devices. In operation, the server receives messages from the thin clients, with each message corresponding to a activity occurred at the thin clients. The server then analyzes the messages and generates usage patterns of the thin client computing devices. Based on the usage patterns, the server may generate automatic power control schedules for the computing devices, and control power of each of the computing devices based on the automatic power control schedules. Further, the server may monitor unusual activities occurred at the computing devices based on the messages and the usage patterns of the computing devices.

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a thin client. The thin client obtains dimensions of each screen of a plurality of screens of the thin client. The thin client also determines an arrangement of the plurality of screens such that each one of the plurality of screens is in contact with at least another one of the plurality of screens and does not overlap with any other one of the plurality of screens. The thin client also determines border segments of each screen of the plurality of screens. Each of the border segments of the each screen is not in contact with any border segment of any other screens of the plurality of screens.

Multi-monitor alignment on a thin client

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a service processor. The service processor allocates a plurality of frame buffers. The service processor also writes image data of a predetermined image to a first frame buffer of the plurality of frame buffers. The service processor further loads a first application. The service processor displays the predetermined image in accordance with the image data stored in the first frame buffer while the first application is being loaded. The service processor then writes image data of the first application to a second frame buffer of the plurality of frame buffers.

Multiple frame buffers for windowless embedded environment

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a control device. The control device determines that a first thin client is in a remote session with a remote machine and is in wireless connection with one or more peripherals. The control device detects that the first thin client is in a predetermined status. The control device requests a second thin client to resume the remote session of the remote machine. The control device connects the one or more peripherals with the second thin client wirelessly.

Failover and live migration of zero/thin clients

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a device. The device receives content to be displayed on a screen of the device. The device generates a picture based on the content. The device sends the picture to an on-screen display driver bypassing a thin client operating system of the device. The device replaces at least a portion of pixel data in a frame buffer of the device with the picture. The pixel data is presented on the screen. The device transfers the pixel data in the frame buffer to a display driver of the device. The display driver generates display signals based on the pixel data.

On-screen display at thin client

Certain aspects direct to system for performing high availability (HA) configuration and validation of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). The system includes a plurality of computing devices functioning as computing nodes, and a virtual desktop controller. Each computing device includes at least one network interface card (NIC), and each computing node includes at least one computing device. The virtual desktop controller includes a processor, a memory, and a storage device storing computer executable code. The code, when executed at the processor, is configured to: discover the computing devices; configure the NICs of the computing devices; configure hardware and software components of the computing devices; configure at least one cluster of the system, where each cluster includes at least one computing node; execute a hypervisor, and execute a plurality of virtual machines (VMs) on the executed hypervisor; and configure additional features related to the VMs of the system.
