Abstract
A seamless and secure cloud to PC pointer relay allows a pointer/cursor to be moved between secure and unsecure windows while being displayed with smooth transitions and while transitioning between secure and unsecure data handling for pointer information. A secure input unit encrypts pointing device operations in the secure window. A user (host) computing device performs location calculations on encrypted data, which conceals pointing device operations in the secure window from the host operating system. The secure unit decrypts the encrypted data returned by the host operating system to determine the calculated pointer location information. The secure unit relays the calculated pointer operation information to the source of the secure window (e.g., remote cloud server) to process user interaction with the secure window while keeping the host operating system unaware of user activity in the secure window (e.g., other than position, if the host renders the pointer).
