A method manages, at a client device, a plurality of remote computing sessions. The method comprises executing a session manager application on the client device. The session manager application comprises a user interface in which configuration information about the plurality of remote computing sessions is displayed. Each of the plurality of remote computing sessions is executed on at least one of a set of remote computers. The method further comprises receiving, via the user interface of the session manager application, an event associated with an operation and performing the operation on at least one of the plurality of remote computing sessions in response to receiving the event.

Managing multiple remote computing sessions displayed on a client device

A computer display control system comprises an input module adapted to receive a user input corresponding to a composited desktop display where the composited desktop display displays at least two active desktops corresponding to at least two different computers. The input module is adapted to automatically determine to which of the desktops the user input corresponds.

A method according to the invention conserves host system resources by compressing an image region according to the type of graphics command used to generate or modify the region. As an image is being rendered, a list of modified image regions is maintained. For each modified image region, metadata are associated with the region to identify the type of graphics command that was used to produce the modification. Per-region choices of compression algorithms can then be made responsive to the metadata without regard to the content of the image data itself.

Compression of image regions according to graphics command type

Embodiments of graphics systems and methods are disclosed. In one method embodiment, among others, a graphics method comprises receiving a first command having a first screen region, receiving a second command having a second screen region, and replacing the first command and the second command with a single command having one of the first screen region and the second screen region if the first screen region encompasses the second screen region or the second screen region encompasses the first screen region, respectively.

Graphics systems and methods

Embodiments of graphics systems and methods are disclosed. In one method embodiment, a graphics method comprises receiving information about a line primitive and segmenting the line primitive with a plurality of bounding areas.

A method comprises providing image copy and modify commands to a receiver. Each copy command causes pixel values in an area of a display associated with the receiver to be copied to another area of the display and each modify command causes at least one pixel value in an area of the display to be modified. The method further comprises generating a future copy region if a future copy command that is providable to the receiver is encountered. The future copy region defines one or more rectangles of pixels on the display that are copyable in the future on the display associated with the receiver. The method also comprises using the future copy region to avoid sending a future copy command to the receiver that will copy pixel values that are to be modified on a display associated with a sending system.

Systems and methods of providing image copy and modify commands to a receiver with an associated display

A method of securely connecting a plurality of client computers to computer resources in a shared computer system by extending client network domains around computer resources in the shared computer system. The network domains of different clients remain isolated from one another in the shared computer system. The method includes associating each of the plurality of client computers with at least one virtual private network connection. The plurality of client computers are remotely connected to at least one virtual private network termination device in the shared computer system. The at least one virtual private network connection is established by the at least one virtual private network termination device. The at least one virtual private network connection is associated with a plurality of virtual local area networks. At least one of the computer resources in the shared computer system is associated with each of the plurality of virtual local area networks. Each of the client computers is thus securely connected to at least one of the computer resources in the shared computer system.

Highly secure computer system architecture for a heterogeneous client environment

A system and method provides pacing of window correlation events associated with application windows that are shared with corresponding windows in remote applications. In particular, the system has local application sharing logic that receives events to be shared from a local application, and paces the transmission of these events to be shared to a remote application sharing logic. The remote application sharing logic receives the events to be shared from the local application sharing logic, and transmits the events to at least one corresponding remote application for processing. The present invention can also be viewed as providing a method for pacing the correlation of events associated with a local application that are shared with at least one corresponding remote application.

System and method to pace event sharing collaboration across multiple distributed applications

A system and method provides synchronization verification of multiple applications across remote systems. In particular, the system has local application sharing logic to receive events to be shared from a local application, having at least one local application window, and to transmit the events to be shared to remote application sharing logic. The remote application sharing logic receives events the to be shared from the local application sharing logic and transmits the events to at least one corresponding remote application for processing. The at least one corresponding remote application has at least one remote application window. A window synchronization verification logic correlates the at least one local application window with the at least one remote application window.

System and method for providing synchronization verification of multiple applications across remote systems

A system and method ensures transparent synchronization of multiple applications across remote systems. In particular, the system has local application sharing logic to receive events to be shared from a local application and transmits the events to be shared to a remote application sharing logic. The remote application sharing logic receives events to be shared from the local application sharing logic and transmits the events to at least one corresponding remote application for processing. Transparent synchronization logic ensures transparent synchronization of the at least one local application with the at least one remote application. The present invention can also be viewed as providing a method for ensuring transparent synchronization of multiple applications across remote systems.

A system and method for a computer system to recognize and initialize an arrangement of a plurality of physical monitors as a single logical screen (SLS). The invention translates a user's window operation request directed to the SLS into an SLS function. The SLS function is then translated into a plurality of device dependent functions, each of which performs the user's requested window operation on one physical monitor. The translation of the SLS function comprises an unwrapping of the SLS function by removing the SLS function and installing the plurality of device dependent functions, and the wrapping of the plurality of device dependent functions by removing the plurality of device dependent functions and installing the SLS function. The invention implements each of the unwrapping and wrapping operations in two assignment instructions. The invention further comprises the capability of generating a single simultaneous display wherein the image on one physical monitor is displayed on each physical monitor of the SLS configuration.
