Abstract

A server receives from a client device that is executing a web browser application a request to initiate a remote application in the server. The server instantiates an instance of the remote application. The server intercepts draw commands associated with the remote application instance. The server provides the draw commands to the client to cause the web browser application to render portion(s) of output based on the draw commands. The server receives an input event from the web browser application. The server provides the client one or more draw commands based on the input event to cause the web browser application to render portion(s) of output based on those draw commands.

Claims (50)

1 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:

instantiating an instance of a web browser application in a client device, the web browser application instance preconfigured to interface with and display output of a remote application instance;

providing, to a server, a request for content for rendering in the web browser application instance;

receiving, by the web browser application instance, a first set of one or more draw commands associated with a first output of the remote application instance, the first output responsive to the request;

rendering, by the web browser application instance, one or more portions of the first output of the remote application instance based on the received first set of one or more draw commands;

providing, to the remote application instance, an input event received by the web browser application instance;

receiving, by the web browser application instance, a second set of one or more draw commands associated with a second output of the remote application instance in response to execution of an action responsive to the input event; and

rendering, by the web browser application instance, one or more portions of the second output of the remote application instance based on the received second set of one or more draw commands.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the input event is one or more of a cursor movement, a click event, keyboard events, and scrolling events.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the server is an execution computing device, and wherein the client device is a rendering computer device.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein instantiating the instance of the web browser application in the client device comprises:

receiving a packet from the server, the packet containing initial logic and a key for establishing a secure connection between the server and the web browser application executing on the client device.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein instantiating the instance of the web browser application in the client device comprises:

receiving, from the server, a set of one or more files, the set of one or more files including information that configures the web browser application executing on the client device to display the output of the remote application instance.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the set of one or more files includes a packet including initial logic and a key for establishing a secure connection between the server and the web browser application executing on the client device.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the request for content is a request for a network resource.

8 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium that provides instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, comprising:

instantiating an instance of a web browser application in a client device, the web browser application instance preconfigured to interface with and display output of a remote application instance;

providing, to a server, a request for content for rendering in the web browser application instance;

receiving, by the web browser application instance, a first set of one or more draw commands associated with a first output of the remote application instance, the first output responsive to the request;

rendering, by the web browser application instance, one or more portions of the first output of the remote application instance based on the received first set of one or more draw commands;

providing, to the remote application instance, an input event received by the web browser application instance;

receiving, by the web browser application instance, a second set of one or more draw commands associated with a second output of the remote application instance in response to execution of an action responsive to the input event; and

rendering, by the web browser application instance, one or more portions of the second output of the remote application instance based on the received second set of one or more draw commands.

9 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the input event is one or more of a cursor movement, a click event, keyboard events, and scrolling events.

10 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the server is an execution computing device, and wherein the client device is a rendering computer device.

11 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein instantiating the instance of the web browser application in the client device comprises:

receiving a packet from the server, the packet containing initial logic and a key for establishing a secure connection between the server and the web browser application executing on the client device.

12 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein instantiating the instance of the web browser application in the client device comprises:

receiving, from the server, a set of one or more files, the set of one or more files including information that configures the web browser application executing on the client device to display the output of the remote application instance.

13 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the set of one or more files includes a packet including initial logic and a key for establishing a secure connection between the server and the web browser application executing on the client device.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the request for content is a request for a network resource.

15 . An apparatus, comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium coupled with the processor that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes said processor to perform the following:

instantiate an instance of a web browser application in a client device, the web browser application instance preconfigured to interface with and display output of a remote application instance;

provide, to a server, a request for content for rendering in the web browser application instance;

receive, by the web browser application instance, a first set of one or more draw commands associated with a first output of the remote application instance, the first output responsive to the request;

render, by the web browser application instance, one or more portions of the first output of the remote application instance based on the received first set of one or more draw commands;

provide, to the remote application instance, an input event received by the web browser application instance;

receive, by the web browser application instance, a second set of one or more draw commands associated with a second output of the remote application instance in response to execution of an action responsive to the input event; and

render, by the web browser application instance, one or more portions of the second output of the remote application instance based on the received second set of one or more draw commands.

16 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the input event is one or more of a cursor movement, a click event, keyboard events, and scrolling events.

17 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the server is an execution computing device, and wherein the client device is a rendering computer device.

18 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein instantiating the instance of the web browser application in the client device further causes said processor to:

receive a packet from the server, the packet containing initial logic and a key for establishing a secure connection between the server and the web browser application executing on the client device.
