Method, apparatus, and system for remotely accessing cloud applications

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a server, an access request from a device of a requester, the access request requesting access by a controlling party and comprising account information of the requester;

transmitting, by the server, the access request to a device of the controlling party;

receiving, by the server, a login request from the controlling party for logging into the requester device, the login request including a login key and account information of the requester;

receiving, by the server, current mode information from the requester device upon verifying the login request; and

entering, by the server, a remote access mode for the requester device in response to receiving the current mode information.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, at the server, feedback information generated in response to the access request based on a result of a selection operation performed at the controlling device.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

causing, by the server, a selection window to be displayed at the controlling device, the selection window including an approval button and a denial button; and

receiving, by the server, a selection operation performed on one of the approval button or the denial button.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

establishing, by the server, a secure channel with the controlling device;

transmitting, via the secure channel, a login key to the controlling device, the login key generated based on the access request.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein establishing a secure channel with the controlling device comprises:

receiving, at the server, a request to establish the secure channel from the controlling device, the request to establish the secure channel comprising a digital certificate of the controlling device;

transmitting, by the server, feedback information to the controlling device, the feedback information including information regarding the secure channel; and

establishing, by the server, the secure channel if the feedback information indicates an approval to establish the secure channel.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the login key includes account information of the requester, account information of the controlling party, a timestamp when the login key was generated, and a verification code.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, at the server from the controlling device, an operation performed on the requester device; and

receiving, at the server, a result of the operation.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein receiving current mode information of the requester device further comprises requesting that a local computation of the requester device be stopped prior to receiving the current mode information.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the login request further includes a password of the requester device.

10. An apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory memory storing computer-executable instructions therein that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to perform the operations of:

receiving an access request from a device of a requester, the access request requesting access by a controlling party and comprising account information of the requester;

transmitting, to a device of a controlling party, the access request to a device of the controlling party;

receiving a login request from the controlling party for logging into the requester device, the login request including a login key and account information of the requester;

receiving current mode information from the requester device upon verifying the login request; and

entering a remote access mode for the requester device in response to receiving the current mode information.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the operations further include receiving feedback information generated in response to the access request based on a result of a selection operation performed at the controlling device.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the operations further include:

causing a selection window to be displayed at the controlling device, the selection window including an approval button and a denial button; and

receiving a selection operation performed on one of the approval button or the denial button.

13. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the operations further include:

establishing a secure channel with the controlling device;

transmitting, via the secure channel, a login key to the controlling device, the login key generated based on the access request.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein establishing a secure channel with the controlling device comprises:

receiving a request to establish the secure channel from the controlling device, the request to establish the secure channel comprising a digital certificate of the controlling device;

transmitting feedback information to the controlling device, the feedback information including information regarding the secure channel; and

establishing the secure channel if the feedback information indicates an approval to establish the secure channel.

15. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the login key includes account information of the requester, account information of the controlling party, a timestamp when the login key was generated, and a verification code.

16. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the operations further include:

receiving, from the controlling device, an operation performed on the requester; and

receiving a result of the operation.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein receiving current mode information of the requester device further comprises requesting that a local computation of the requester device be stopped prior to receiving the current mode information.

18. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the login request further includes a password of the requester device.

19. A system comprising:

a controlling device operated by a controlling party;

a requester device operated by a requester and configured to generate an access request comprising account information of the requester; and

a server configured to:

receive an access request from a device of a requester, the access request requesting access by the controlling device and comprising account information of the requester device;

transmit, to the controlling device, the access request;

receive a login request from the controlling party for logging into the requester device, the login request including a login key and account information of the requester;

receive current mode information from the requester device upon verifying the login request; and

enter a remote access mode for the requester device in response to receiving the current mode information.

20. The system of claim 19 wherein the server is further configured to:

receive a request to establish the secure channel, the request to establish the secure channel comprising a digital certificate of the controlling device;

transmit feedback information to the controlling device, the feedback information including information regarding the secure channel;

establish the secure channel if the feedback information indicates an approval to establish the secure channel; and

transmit, via the secure channel, a login key to the controlling device, the login key generated based on the access request.
