Abstract

Examples of systems and methods are provided for facilitating establishing a remote session between a host device and a remote server. The system may facilitate establishing a trusted relationship between a client device and the host device. The system may provide remote session login information to the host device to enable the host device to establish a first remote session with the remote server. The system may launch a second remote session with the remote server using the login information.

Claims

1. A system at a client device side for communication and for facilitating establishing a remote session between a host device and a remote server, the system comprising:

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

a client remote session login information module configured to provide remote session login information to the host device to enable the host device to establish a first remote session with the remote server; and

a client session launch module configured to launch a second remote session with the remote server using the login information.

2. A method at a client device side for communication and for facilitating establishing a remote session between a host device and a remote server, the method comprising:

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

providing remote session login information to the host device to enable the host device to establish a first remote session with the remote server; and

launching a second remote session with the remote server using the login information.

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

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

providing remote session login information to the host device to enable the host device to establish a first remote session with the remote server; and

launching a second remote session with the remote server using the login information.

4. An apparatus for communication and for facilitating establishing a remote session between a host 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 providing remote session login information to the host device to enable the host device to establish a first remote session with the remote server; and

means for launching a second remote session with the remote server using the login information.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the means for facilitating establishing the trusted relationship comprises means for responding to a query message from the host device.

6. The apparatus of claim 4, configured to communicate with the host device over a wireless connection.

7. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the means for facilitating establishing the trusted relationship comprises:

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

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

means for performing exchange of encryption information with the host device.

8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the means for sensing the presence comprises means for estimating a received signal strength of a transmission received from the host device.

9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the means for sensing the presence comprises means for calculating a round trip delay time for communication with the host device.

10. A system at a host device side for communication and for facilitating establishing a remote session between a host device and a remote server, comprising:

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

a host login information module configured to obtain remote session login information from the client device; and

a host remote session module configured to facilitate establishing a remote session, using the remote session login information, with the remote server,

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

11. A method implemented at a host device side for communication and for facilitating establishing a remote session between a host device and a remote server, the method comprising:

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

obtaining remote session login information from the client device; and

facilitating establishing a remote session, using the remote session login information, with the remote server,

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

12. A machine-readable medium encoded with instructions for execution at a host device side for communication and for facilitating establishing a remote session between a host device and a remote server, the instructions comprising code for:

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

obtaining remote session login information from the client device; and

facilitating establishing a remote session, using the remote session login information, with the remote server,

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

13. The machine-readable medium of claim 12, 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 client device.

14. The machine-readable medium of claim 12, wherein the code for facilitating establishing the trusted relationship comprises code for monitoring for continued existence of the trusted relationship with the client device.

15. The machine-readable medium of claim 12, wherein the instructions further comprise code for:

terminating the remote session.

16. The machine-readable medium of claim 12, wherein the code for terminating the remote session comprises code for generating a signal to terminate the remote session.

17. The machine-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the code for sensing the presence comprises code for estimating a received signal strength of a transmission received from the client device.

18. The machine-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the code for sensing the presence comprises code for calculating a round trip delay time for communication with the client device.

19. An apparatus for communication and for facilitating establishing a remote session between a host device and a remote server, the apparatus comprising:

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

means for obtaining remote session login information from the client device; and

means for facilitating establishing a remote session, using the remote session login information, with the remote server,

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