Abstract

Examples of systems and methods are provided for communication, scrolling a remote application, and scrolling a local application based on one or more commands from a remote client device. A system may comprise a viewer controller module configured to receive, at the system from a remote server over a remote access connection between the system and the remote server during a remote connection session, an overall content size of a remote application running on the remote server. The viewer controller module may be configured to generate a scrolling command to control a first remote application view at the system of the remote application. The scrolling command may be based on one or more native scrolling gestures, a first display output at the system of the remote application and the overall content size of the remote application.

Claims

1. A system for communication and for scrolling a remote application, the system comprising:

a viewer controller module configured to receive, at the system from a remote server over a remote access connection between the system and the remote server during a remote connection session, an overall content size of a remote application running on the remote server, the viewer controller module further configured to generate a scrolling command to control a first remote application view at the system of the remote application, the scrolling command based on one or more native scrolling gestures, a first display output at the system of the remote application and the overall content size of the remote application, the viewer controller module further configured to send, from the system to the remote server over the remote access connection, the scrolling command.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the viewer controller module comprises a remote view module configured to receive, at the system from the remote server over the remote access connection, a second display output of the remote application, and provide a second remote application view within the second display output based on the one or more native scrolling gestures.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the viewer controller module is a local view module, the local view module configured to generate one or more scrollbars adaptive to the overall content size of the remote application and based on a size and a position of the first remote application view relative to the overall content size of the remote application.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the size of the first remote application view is less than a size of the first display output.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the viewer controller module comprises a local view module configured to provide the overall content size to a native application of the system such that one or more native scrollbars of the native application are adaptive to the overall content size of the remote application and based on a size and a position of the first remote application view relative to the overall content size of the remote application.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the size of the first remote application view is less than a size of the first display output.

7. The system of claim 1, further comprising a client remote access module configured to facilitate establishing the remote access connection between the system and the remote server.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the viewer controller module comprises a display module configured to facilitate displaying the first remote application view or the second remote application view.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the viewer controller module comprises a local view module configured to receive, at the system from the remote server over the remote access connection, the overall content size of the remote application.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the first display output comprises the first remote application view.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the viewer controller module comprises a local view module configured to send, from the system to the remote server over the remote access connection, the scrolling command if the scrolling command corresponds to a scrolling destination beyond the first display output.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the viewer controller module comprises a remote view module configured to receive, at the system from the remote server over the remote access connection, the first display output of the remote application.

13. The system of claim 1, wherein the system is a client device comprising a processing system and a display.
