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 first remote session between a client device and the remote server. The system may facilitate establishing a trusted relationship between the client device and the host device. The system may provide remote session login information from the client device to the host device to enable the host device to establish a second remote session with the remote server. The system may facilitate termination of the first remote session at the client device after the login information is provided to the host device.

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 session launch module configured to facilitate establishing a first remote session between a client device and the remote server;

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

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

a client remote session termination module configured to facilitate termination of the first remote session at the client device after the login information is provided to the host device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the client remote session termination module is configured to facilitate the termination in response to receiving an indication regarding an establishment of the second remote session from the host device.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the client trusted relationship module is configured to respond to a query message from the host device.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the client device is configured to communicate with the host device over a wireless connection.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the client trusted relationship module comprises:

a client presence sensing module configured to sense a presence of the client device near the host device;

a client pairing module configured to facilitate performing message exchanges to pair the client device with the host device; and

a client link security module configured to perform exchange of encryption information with the host device.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the client presence sensing module is configured to estimate a received signal strength of a transmission received from the host device.

7. The system of claim 5, wherein the client presence sensing module is configured to calculate a round trip delay time for communication with the host device.

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

9. 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 first remote session between a client device and the remote server;

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

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

facilitating termination of the first remote session at the client device after the login information is provided to the host device.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the facilitating termination of the first remote session comprises facilitating the termination in response to receiving an indication regarding an establishment of the second remote session from the host device.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the facilitating establishing the trusted relationship comprises responding to a query message from the host device.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the client device communicates with the host device over a wireless connection.

13. The method of claim 9, wherein the facilitating establishing the trusted relationship comprises:

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.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the sensing the presence comprises estimating a received signal strength of a transmission received from the host device.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein the sensing the presence comprises calculating a round trip delay time for communication with the host device.

16. 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 first remote session between a client device and the remote server;

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

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

facilitating termination of the first remote session at the client device after the login information is provided to the host device.

17. The machine-readable medium of claim 16, wherein the code for facilitating termination of the first remote session comprises code for facilitating the termination in response to receiving an indication regarding an establishment of the second remote session from the host device.

18. The machine-readable medium of claim 16, wherein the code for facilitating establishing the trusted relationship comprises code for responding to a query message from the host device.

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

20. The machine-readable medium of claim 16, 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.

21. The machine-readable medium of claim 20, wherein the code for sensing the presence comprises code for estimating a received signal strength of a transmission received from the host device.

22. The machine-readable medium of claim 20, wherein the code for sensing the presence comprises code for calculating a round trip delay time for communication with the host device.

23. 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 first remote session between a client device and the remote server;

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

means for providing remote session login information from the client device to the host device to enable the host device to establish a second remote session with the remote server; and

means for facilitating termination of the first remote session at the client device after the login information is provided to the host device.
