Abstract

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and one or more apparatuses are provided. The apparatuses may be one or more thin clients. Each of the one or more thin clients wirelessly connects with at least one peripheral. Each of the one or more thin clients establishes a remote session with a remote machine. The one or more thin clients are placed in an environment that is isolated from the at least one peripheral of each of the thin clients.

Claims (31)

1. A thin client system, comprising:

one or more thin clients, each of which being a device and comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor is exclusively used by the each thin client and not by the others of the one or more thin clients, and is further configured to execute a terminal server client that establishes a remote session with a remote machine through a network in accordance with a remote desktop protocol;

wherein each of the one or more thin clients has a plurality of peripherals including a keyboard, a mouse, and a monitor, and for each thin client of the one or more thin clients in operation, each of the peripherals is in wireless connection with the each thin client;

wherein the each thin client is remote and physically separated from all of the peripherals of the each thin client, wherein the each thin client is in a protected area of a premises and all of the peripherals of the each thin client are in a user accessible area of the premises isolated from the protected area.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more thin clients is protected from physical contact from a user operating the at least one peripheral of the each thin client.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one peripheral includes a power supply unit.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wireless connection of a thin client of the one or more thin clients includes a connection established on a BLUETOOTH link.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wireless connection of a thin client of the one or more thin clients includes a connection established through Wi-Fi Direct.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wireless connection of a thin client of the one or more thin clients includes a connection established through a wireless local area network (WLAN).

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wireless connection of a thin client of the one or more thin clients includes a connection established through a wireless wide area network (WWAN).

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wireless connection of a thin client of the one or more thin clients includes a connection established on a radio frequency (RF) link, wherein signals received on the RF link is converted to a human interface device (HID) signals.

9. A method of operating a one or more thin clients, comprising:

wirelessly connecting each thin client of the one or more thin clients with all of a plurality of peripherals of the each thin client including a keyboard, a mouse, and a monitor, wherein each of the one or more thin clients is a device and has at least one processor exclusively used by the each thin client and not by the others of the one or more thin clients;

executing, at each of the one or more thin clients, a terminal server client that establishes a remote session with a remote machine through a network in accordance with a remote desktop protocol; and

for the each thin client of the one or more thin clients in operation, placing the each thin client to be remote and physically separated from all of the peripherals of the each thin client, wherein the each thin client is in a protected area of a premises and all of the peripherals of the each thin client are in a user accessible area of the premises isolated from the protected area.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein each of the one or more thin clients is protected from physical contact from a user operating the at least one peripheral of the each thin client.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one peripheral includes a power supply unit.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the wireless connection of a thin client of the one or more thin clients includes a connection established on a BLUETOOTH link.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the wireless connection of a thin client of the one or more thin clients includes a connection established through Wi-Fi Direct.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the wireless connection of a thin client of the one or more thin clients includes a connection established through a wireless local area network (WLAN).

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the wireless connection of a thin client of the one or more thin clients includes a connection established through a wireless wide area network (WWAN).

16. The method of claim 9 , wherein the wireless connection of a thin client of the one or more thin clients includes a connection established on a radio frequency (RF) link, wherein signals received on the RF link is converted to a human interface device (HID) signals.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code for operating one or more thin clients, comprising code to:

wirelessly connect each thin client of the one or more thin clients with all of a plurality of peripherals of the each thin client including a keyboard, a mouse, and a monitor, wherein each of the one or more thin clients is a device and has at least one processor exclusively used by the each thin client and not by the others of the one or more thin clients,

executes, at each of the one or more thin clients, a terminal server client that establishes a remote session with a remote machine through a network in accordance with a remote desktop protocol;

wherein for each thin client of the one or more thin clients in operation, the each thin client is remote and physically separated from all of the peripherals of the each thin client, wherein the each thin client is in a protected area of a premises and all of the peripherals of the each thin client are in a user accessible area of the premises isolated from the protected area.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein each of the one or more thin clients is protected from physical contact from a user operating the at least one peripheral of the each thin client.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the at least one peripheral includes a power supply unit.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the wireless connection of a thin client of the one or more thin clients includes a connection established on a BLUETOOTH link.
