By enabling mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablets, to leverage native user interface components, the methods and systems described herein provide users a more seamless experience, wherein the user can potentially be oblivious to the fact that the application is not executing locally on the mobile device. In some embodiments, a user interface is provided which the user uses to trigger the display of a native user interface component. In some embodiments, the systems and methods described herein auto-adjust the pan and zoom settings on the mobile device to ensure that remote windows are presented in a manner that makes it easier for the user to interact with the device. The systems and methods described herein permit the user to switch to the new window in focus or a visual cue may be displayed to indicate that a window has been created somewhere on the remote desktop.

Integrating native user interface components on a mobile device

The invention generally relates to generating a display having graphical and/or media components at a client. In one aspect, a method for generating a graphical display at a client includes transmitting output from an application program executing on a server to the client, identifying a non-textual element within the application output, retrieving a compressed data format associated with the non-textual element, and transmitting to the client the compressed data format in place of the non-textual element. In another aspect, a method for generating a media presentation at a client includes transmitting output from an application program executing on a server to the client, identifying a media stream within the application output, intercepting an original compressed data set representing at least a portion of the media stream before processing by the application program, and transmitting the original compressed data set to the client.

Methods and apparatus for generating graphical and media displays at a client

One or more techniques are provided for causing a location of a screen image associated with a resource to be adjusted on a display device. The adjustment may be based at least in part on determining that a control element receives focus. The resource may be associated with an application, such as an email application that may be hosted remotely from a client device. Access to one or more resources may be controlled or mediated. Access rights may be based at least in part on a determination of a geographic location of a client device. When the client device is located in a safe area, the client device may be provided access to the resource. When the client device is not located in a safe area, the client device might not be provided access to the resource or might not be provided full access to the resource.

Mediating resource access based on a physical location of a mobile device

A method for moving an executing process from a source isolation scope to a target isolation scope includes the step of determining that the process is in a state suitable for moving. The association of the process changes from a source isolation scope to a target isolation scope. A rule loads in association with the target isolation scope.

Method and apparatus for moving processes between isolation environments

A method for presenting an aggregate view of native resources includes the step of enumerating a plurality of system-scoped native resources provided by a system scope. A plurality of application-scoped native resources provided by an application isolation scope are enumerated, some of which correspond to some of the plurality of system-scoped resources. For one of the plurality of system-scoped resources, the existence of a corresponding one of the plurality of application-scoped resources is determined and the corresponding one of the plurality of application-scoped resources is included in an aggregate view of native resources.

Method and apparatus for providing an aggregate view of enumerated system resources from various isolation layers

In one aspect the invention relates to a method for generating a graphical display for a remote terminal session. The method includes monitoring output produced by an application program executing on a server, identifying a bitmap representation within the output produced by the application program and determining a check value for the bitmap representation. The method also includes retrieving a compressed data format of the bitmap representation based at least in part on the check value and transmitting to the remote terminal session the compressed data format in place of the bitmap representation.

Method and system for generating a graphical display for a remote terminal session

A method and apparatus for virtualizing access to windows includes a hooking mechanism, a window name virtualization engine, and an operating system interface. A request relating to a window from a process executing in the context of a user account is received, the request including a virtual window name. A determination is made for a literal name for the window, using a scope-specific identifier. A request is issued to the operating system including the determined literal window name. A window handle is associated with the determined virtual window name.

Method and apparatus for virtualizing window information

A method for virtualizing access to named system objects includes the step of receiving a request to access a system object from a process executing in the context of a user isolation scope, the request including a virtual name for the system object. A rule associated with the request is determined and a literal name for the system object is formed in response to the determined rule. A request to access the system object is issued to the operating system. The issued request including the literal name for the system object.

System for virtualizing access to named system objects using rule action associated with request

A method for associating a file type of a file with one or more programs includes the step of receiving a request to store in a configuration store file type association information. From the request, an application program is determined that is to be associated with a file type in the configuration store. An association of the file type with a chooser tool is written to the configuration store

Method and apparatus for providing file-type associations to multiple applications

A method for isolating access by application programs to native resources provided by an operating system redirects a request for a native resource made by an application program executing on behalf of a user to an isolation environment. The isolation environment includes a user isolation scope and an application isolation scope. An instance of the requested native resource is located in the user isolation scope corresponding to the user. The request for the native resource is fulfilled using the version of the resource located in the user isolation scope. If an instance of the requested native resource is not located in the user isolation scope, the request is redirected to an application isolation scope. The request for the native resource is fulfilled using the version of the resource located in the application isolation scope. If an instance of the requested native resource is not located in the application isolation scope, the request is redirected to a system scope.
