Abstract

Examples of systems and methods are provided for communication and for facilitating establishing a remote session between a client device and a remote server. The system may facilitate establishing a trusted relationship between the client device and a host device. The system may be configured to receive login information from the host device for a first remote session established between the host device and the remote server. The system may facilitate continuing the first remote session previously established between the host device and the remote server as a continued remote session between the client device and the remote server.

Claims

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

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

a client login information receiver module configured to receive login information from the host device for a first remote session established between the host device and the remote server; and

a client session launch module configured to facilitate continuing the first remote session previously established between the host device and the remote server as a continued remote session between the client device and the remote server.

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

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

a client pairing module configured to facilitate performing message exchange 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.

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

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

receiving login information from the host device for a first remote session established between the host device and the remote server; and

continuing the first remote session previously established between the host device and the remote server as a continued remote session between the client device and the remote server.

4. 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 client device and a remote server, the instructions comprising code for:

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

receiving login information from the host device for a first remote session established between the host device and the remote server; and

continuing the first remote session previously established between the host device and the remote server as a continued remote session between the client device and the remote server.

5. The machine-readable medium of claim 4, wherein the code for facilitating establishing the trusted relationship comprises code for:

sensing presence of the client device near the host device;

facilitating performing message exchange 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 4, wherein the code for facilitating establishing the trusted relationship comprises responding to a query message from the host device.

7. The machine-readable medium of claim 4, 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 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 presence comprises code for calculating a round trip delay time for communication with the host device.

10. An apparatus at a client device side for communication and for facilitating establishing a remote session between a client device and a remote server, comprising:

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

means for receiving login information from the host device for a first remote session established between the host device and the remote server; and

means for continuing the first remote session previously established between the host device and the remote server as a continued remote session between the client device and the remote server.

11. A system at a host device side for communication and for transferring a remote session with a remote server to a client device, comprising:

a host remote session establishment module configured to facilitate establishing the remote session between the host device and the remote server;

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

a host login information module configured to provide login information for the remote session to the client device; and

a host remote session termination module configured to terminate the remote session running at the host device after providing the login information.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the host trusted relationship module comprises:

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

a host pairing module configured to pair the client device with the host device; and

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

13. A method at a host device side for transferring a remote session with a remote server to a client device, comprising:

facilitating establishing the remote session between the host device and the remote server;

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

providing login information for the remote session to the client device; and

terminating the remote session running at the host device after providing the login information.

14. A machine-readable medium encoded with instructions for transferring a remote session with a remote server to a client device, the instructions comprising code for:

facilitating establishing the remote session between the host device and the remote server;

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

providing login information for the remote session to the client device; and

terminating the remote session running at the host device after providing the login information.

15. The machine-readable medium of claim 14, wherein the code for terminating the remote session comprises code for facilitating termination in response to receiving an indication regarding an establishment of a second remote session from the client device.

16. The machine-readable medium of claim 14, 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.

17. The machine-readable medium of claim 14, wherein the host device is configured to communicate with the client device over a wireless connection.

18. The machine-readable medium of claim 16, wherein the code for sensing the presence comprises code for estimating a received signal strength of a transmission received from the client device.

19. The machine-readable medium of claim 16, wherein the code for sensing the presence comprises code for calculating a round trip delay time for communication with the client device.

20. An apparatus for transferring a remote session with a remote server to a client device, comprising:

means for facilitating establishing the remote session between the host device and the remote server;

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

means for providing login information for the remote session to the client device; and

means for terminating the remote session running at the host device after providing the login information.
