Abstract

Examples of systems and methods are provided for facilitating rendering at a local client device a remote view associated with a remote application on a remote server. A method may comprise generating the remote view of the remote application based on display output data of the remote application, wherein a portion of the display output data is visible in the remote view, tracking coordinates and dimensions of the portion of the display output that is visible, receiving a message from the remote server comprising coordinates and dimensions of one of a window box, a dialog box and an object, comparing the coordinates and dimensions of the portion of the display output data that is visible with the coordinates and dimensions of the one of the window box, the dialog box and the object, and adjusting the portion of the display output data that is visible based on the comparison.

Claims (52)

1. A system for communicating and for rendering at a local client device a remote view associated with a remote application on a remote server, comprising:

a network interface;

a local client device;

a processor; and

a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory comprising instructions operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the processor to:

generate the remote view of the remote application based on display output data of the remote application received from the remote server, wherein a portion of the display output data is visible in the remote view and a remote graphical user interface (GUI) of the remote application is deactivated in the display output data;

keep track of coordinates and dimensions of the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view;

receive a message from the remote server via the network interface, wherein the message comprises coordinates and dimensions of one of a window box, a dialog box and an object;

compare the coordinates and dimensions of the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view with the coordinates and dimensions of the one of the window box, dialog box and the object;

automatically, and without user intervention, adjust the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view from an original view based on the comparison;

provide, for local display at the local client device, the remote view of the remote application;

receive a second message from the remote server that the window box, the dialog box or the object has been closed at the remote server; and

return the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view to the original view in response to the second message.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to adjust the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view by scrolling the remote view.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to adjust the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view by zooming in or zooming out the remote view.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to adjust the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view to allow substantially the entire object to be visible in the remote view.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to adjust the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view by scrolling the remote view.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to adjust the portion of the display output that is visible in the remote view by zooming in or zooming out the remote view.

7. A method for rendering at a local client device a remote view associated with a remote application on a remote server, comprising:

generating the remote view of the remote application based on display output data of the remote application received from the remote server, wherein a portion of the display output data is visible in the remote view and a remote graphical user interface (GUI) of the remote application is deactivated in the display output data;

tracking coordinates and dimensions of the portion of the display output that is visible in the remote view;

receiving a message from the remote server, wherein the message comprises coordinates and dimensions of one of a window box, a dialog box and an object;

comparing the coordinates and dimensions of the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view with the coordinates and dimensions of the one of the window box, the dialog box and the object;

automatically and without user intervention, adjusting the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view from an original view based on the comparison;

providing, for local display at the local client device, the remote view of the remote application;

receiving a second message from the remote server that the window box, dialog box, or object has been closed at the remote server; and

returning the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view to the original view in response to the second message.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the adjusting the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view comprises scrolling the remote view.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the adjusting the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view comprises zooming in or zooming out the remote view.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the adjusting the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view comprises adjusting the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view to allow substantially the entire object to be visible in the remote view.

11. A non-transitory machine-readable medium encoded with instructions for rendering at a local client device a remote view associated with a remote application on a remote server, the instructions comprising code for:

generating the remote view of the remote application based on display output data of the remote application received from the remote server, wherein a portion of the display output data is visible in the remote view and a remote graphical user interface (GUI) of the remote application is deactivated in the display output data;

tracking coordinates and dimensions of the portion of the display output that is visible in the remote view;

receiving a message from the remote server, wherein the message comprises coordinates and dimensions of one of a window box, a dialog box and an object;

comparing the coordinates and dimensions of the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view with the coordinates and dimensions of the one of the window box, the dialog box and the object;

automatically and without user intervention, adjusting the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view based on the comparison; and

providing, for local display at the local client device, the remote view of the remote application.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the adjusting the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view comprises scrolling the remote view.

13. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the adjusting the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view comprises zooming in or zooming out the remote view.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further comprise code for:

receiving a second message from the remote server that the window box or dialog box has been closed at the remote server; and

undoing the adjustment of the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view in response to the second message.

15. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the adjusting the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view comprises adjusting the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view to allow substantially the entire object to be visible in the remote view.

16. An apparatus for rendering at a local client device a remote view associated with a remote application on a remote server, comprising:

means for generating the remote view of the remote application based on display output data of the remote application received from the remote server, wherein a portion of the display output data is visible in the remote view and a remote graphical user interface (GUI) of the remote application is deactivated in the display output data;

means for tracking coordinates and dimensions of the portion of the display output that is visible in the remote view;

means for receiving a message from the remote server, wherein the message comprises coordinates and dimensions of one of a window box, a dialog box and an object;

means for comparing the coordinates and dimensions of the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view with the coordinates and dimensions of the one of the window box, the dialog box and the object;

means for automatically and without user intervention, adjusting the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view based on the comparison;

means for providing, for local display at the local client device, the remote view of the remote application;

means for receiving a second message from the remote server that the window box, dialog box, or object has been closed at the remote server; and

means for returning the portion of the display output data that is visible in the remote view to the original view in response to the second message.
