A remote desktop session is established between a remote desktop host device and a remote desktop client device to permit remote usage of the remote desktop host device at the remote desktop client device. The remote desktop host device detects access of multimedia content at the remote desktop host device by the remote desktop client device within the remote desktop session. The remote desktop host device, in response to detecting access of the multimedia content within the remote desktop session, provides instructions to the remote desktop client device to directly access the multimedia content outside of the remote desktop session.

Multimedia content access within remove desktop session

According to aspects of the present disclosure, a system, method, and storage medium comprising a plurality of sensors communicatively coupled to a microcontrol unit (MCU) wherein the MCU controls the transition between operational states. The MCU receives a system-related datum from one of the plurality of sensors. The MCU determines a control action based on the system-related datum. The MCU executes the control action on the system. The MCU sends a state change datum to a firmware wherein the state change datum indicates an operational change of the system based on the control action.

Operational change control action

A computer-readable medium may store machine-readable instructions for execution by a processor. There may be a connection between the processor and a virtual computer. The processor may establish a first data channel between the processor and the virtual computer based on the connection between the processor and the virtual computer. The connection may comprise a second data channel to transfer input/output (I/O) data between the processor and the virtual computer. The processor may receive an output message from the virtual computer via the first data channel. The processor may identify an I/O device coupled to the processor based on the output message. The processor may provide an output signal to the I/O device, the output signal based on the output message.

Signals to I/O devices based on virtual computer messages

In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method may include receiving, at a computing device, an attempt to authenticate a user via an authentication event and, upon validating the authentication event used, determining which authentication profile to initiate for the user to use the computing device. As an example, the computing device then initiates the determined authentication profile to launch a customized set of programs on the computing device for the user.

Authentication profiles for users

A computer-readable medium may store machine-readable instructions for execution by a processor. There may be a connection between the processor and a virtual computer. The processor may establish a first data channel between the processor and the virtual computer based on the connection between the processor and the virtual computer. The connection may comprise a second data channel to transfer input/output (I/O) data between the processor and the virtual computer. The processor may receive an input signal from an I/O device coupled to the processor. The processor may provide an input message to the virtual computer via the first data channel, the input message based on the input signal.

Messages based on input/output device signals to virtual computers

Example implementations relate to shell applications. An example controller can display, using a shell executor component and via a plurality of user interfaces running a same operating system on a same network, a plurality of shell applications. Two of the plurality of shell applications can be different shell applications.

Shell application

In one example, a method for a first computing environment (FCE) to automatically display a virtual input device on a display of a second computing environment (SCE) communicatively coupled to the FCE via a main channel. An auxiliary channel is established between the FCE and the SCE. A virtual input device preference is negotiated with the SCE over the auxiliary channel. A selection by the SCE, over the main channel, of an input element of an active FCE application associated with the SCE is detected. In response to the selection, a virtual input device in accordance with the device preference, operable by the SCE to input data to the input element, is automatically caused to be launched.

Automatic virtual input device

Example embodiments relate to the display of operating status information in a remote desktop session. In example embodiments, a client transmits operating status information to a server via a remote desktop session established with the server. In response, the client may receive graphics information including displayed status information inserted by the server based on the operating status information. Finally, the client may output the graphics information on an available display. Other embodiments relate to a corresponding server and processing performed in the server.

Display of operating status information of a client in a remote desktop session

Analysis of system information includes retrieving selected snapshots comprising the system information to be analyzed. Further, one or more operations can be performed on the system information to extract resultant information. The resultant information can be provided over a graphical user interface to a user.

Analysis of system information

Examples are directed to detect screen contact using total internal reflection. One example involves detecting contact on a screen, the screen comprising total internal reflection of light; and determining, via at least one processor, a location of the contact on the screen based on a disturbance of the total internal reflection, the disturbance caused by the detected contact.

Screen contact detection using total internal reflection

Examples of the present disclosure provide a computing device expansion system. According to one implementation, a docking receptacle is coupled to a touch-enabled monitor computing device and is also configured to receive and connect to a portable electronic device. Furthermore, when the portable electronic device is attached to the docking receptacle, a display area of the portable electronic device is cloned on the monitor computing device such that touch input on either the portable electronic device or monitor computing device is replicated on the monitor computing device or portable electronic device.

Computing device expansion system

Example implementations relate to operating system events of a kiosk device. For example, a computing device may include a processor. The processor monitors an operating system of the computing device, where the computing device is to operate as a kiosk device to execute a specific application while restricting access to other applications. The processor identifies an operating system event generated by the operating system and determines, based on a notification restriction list, whether the operating system event is to be restricted. A notification associated with the operating system event is restricted when the operating system even is determined to be restricted and is displayed on a graphical user interface when the operating system event is determined to be unrestricted.

Operating system events of a kiosk device

Example embodiments relate to the display of user interface elements of a host operating system within a virtual machine guest operating system. In example embodiments, the host OS transmits information relating to a user interface element displayed within the host OS to the guest OS. The guest OS may then output a corresponding user interface element, receive input from a user interacting with the corresponding element within the guest OS, and return information describing the user input from the guest OS to the host OS.
