Abstract

Examples of systems and methods are provided for communication and for forwarding display data related to a remote session between a client device and a remote server to a host device. The system may facilitate establishing the remote session with the remote server. The system may facilitate establishing a trusted relationship between the client device and the host device. The system may filter out data related to local graphical user interface (GUI) and selectively forward from the client device to the host device display data related to the remote session established between the client device and the remote server.

Claims

1. A system at a client device side for communication and for forwarding display data related to a remote session between a client device and a remote server to a host device, the system comprising:

a client remote session module configured to facilitate establishing the remote session with the remote server;

a client trusted relationship module configured to facilitate establishing a trusted relationship between the client device and the host device; and

a client forwarding module configured to filter out data related to local graphical user interface (GUI) and selectively forward from the client device to the host device display data related to the remote session established between the client device and the remote server.

2. A method at a client device side for communication and for forwarding display data related to a remote session between a client device and a remote server to a host device, the method comprising:

facilitating establishing the remote session with the remote server;

facilitating establishing a trusted relationship between the client device and the host device; and

filtering out data related to local graphical user interface (GUI); and

selectively forwarding, from the client device to the host device, display data related to the remote session established between the client device and the remote server.

3. A machine-readable medium encoded with instructions for execution at a client device side for communication and for forwarding display data related to a remote session between a client device and a remote server to a host device, the instructions comprising code for:

facilitating establishing the remote session with the remote server;

facilitating establishing a trusted relationship between the client device and the host device; and

filtering out data related to local graphical user interface (GUI); and

selectively forwarding, from the client device to the host device, display data related to the remote session established between the client device and the remote server.

4. The machine-readable medium of claim 3, wherein the client device is configured to communicate with the host device via a first network connection and with the remote server via a second network connection.

5. The machine-readable medium of claim 3, wherein the code for facilitating establishing the trusted relationship comprises code for:

sensing a presence of the client device near the host device;

performing message exchanges to pair the client device with the host device; and

performing exchange of encryption information with the host device.

6. The machine-readable medium of claim 3, wherein the code for facilitating establishing the trusted relationship comprises code for responding to a query message from the host device.

7. The machine-readable medium of claim 3, wherein the client device is configured to communicate with the host device over a wireless connection.

8. The machine-readable medium of claim 5, wherein the code for sensing the presence comprises code for estimating a received signal strength of a transmission received from the host device.

9. The machine-readable medium of claim 5, wherein the code for sensing the presence comprises code for calculating a round trip delay time for communication with the host device.

10. An apparatus for communication and for forwarding display data related to a remote session between a client device and a remote server to a host device, the apparatus comprising:

means for facilitating establishing the remote session with the remote server;

means for facilitating establishing a trusted relationship between the client device and the host device; and

means for filtering out data related to local graphical user interface (GUI); and

means for selectively forwarding, from the client device to the host device, display data related to the remote session established between the client device and the remote server.

11. A system at a host device side for communication and for displaying graphical user interface (GUI) for a remote session between a client device and a remote server, comprising:

a host trusted relationship module configured to facilitate establishing a trusted relationship between the client device and the host device;

a host display data module configured to receive, from the client device, display data for the remote session established between the client device and the remote server, the display data based on a remote session protocol format; and

a host remote session view module configured to facilitate displaying a remote application view based on the received display data for the remote session,

wherein the host device is configured to communicate with the client device via a wireless connection.

12. A method at a host device side for communication and for displaying graphical user interface (GUI) for a remote session between a client device and a remote server, the method comprising:

facilitating establishing a trusted relationship between the client device and the host device;

receiving, from the client device, display data for the remote session established between the client device and the remote server, the display data based on a remote session protocol format; and

facilitating displaying a remote application view based on the received display data for the remote session;

wherein the host device is configured to communicate with the client device via a wireless connection.

13. A machine-readable medium encoded with instructions for execution at a host device side for communication and for displaying graphical user interface (GUI) for a remote session between a client device and a remote server, the instructions comprising code for:

facilitating establishing a trusted relationship between the client device and the host device;

receiving, from the client device, display data for the remote session established between the client device and the remote server, the display data based on a remote session protocol format; and

facilitating displaying a remote application view based on the received display data for the remote session,

wherein the host device is configured to communicate with the client device via a wireless connection.

14. The machine-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the remote application view comprises graphical user interface control objects.

15. The machine-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the code for facilitating establishing the trusted relationship comprises code for:

sensing a presence of the client device near the host device;

pairing the client device with the host device; and

performing exchange of encryption information with the host device.

16. The machine-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the host device is configured to communicate with the client device over a wireless connection.

17. The machine-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the sensing the presence comprises estimating received signal strength of a transmission received from the client device.

18. The machine-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the sensing the presence comprises calculating a round trip delay time for communication with the client device.

19. An apparatus for communication and for displaying graphical user interface (GUI) for a remote session between a client device and a remote server, the apparatus comprising:

means for facilitating establishing a trusted relationship between the client device and the host device;

means for receiving, from the client device, display data for the remote session established between the client device and the remote server, the display data based on a remote session protocol format; and
