Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods for dynamically interpreting a script in a remote context are provided. A host device begins an interpretation of a script according to local context data of the host device. The script may be associated with a virtual session hosted by the host device on behalf of a terminal device communicatively coupled with the host computing device. The host device may recognize a language element in the script that indicates a portion of the script associated with interpretation according to local context data of the terminal device. The host device may receive results of an interpretation of the indicated portion of the script according to the local context data of the terminal device. The host device may continue interpreting the script according to the context data of the host computing device using the received results.

Claims

1. A system for managing virtual sessions, comprising:

a terminal device; and

a host device communicatively coupled with the terminal device over a network, the host device configured to;

begin interpreting a script according to local context data of the host device, the script associated with a virtual session hosted by the host device on behalf of the terminal device;

recognize a language element in the script, the language element indicating a portion of the script associated with script interpretation according to local context data of the terminal device;

receive results of an interpretation of the indicated portion of the script according to the local context data of the terminal device; and

continue to interpret the script according to the context data of the host computing device using the received results.

2. The system of claim 1, the host device further configured to:

communicate with the terminal device over the network to instruct the terminal device to interpret the indicated portion of the script according to the local context of the terminal device.

3. The system of claim 2, the host device further configured to:

receive the results of the interpretation of the indicated portion of the script from the terminal device over the network.

4. The system of claim 1, the host device further configured to:

communicate with the terminal device to receive at least a subset of the local context data of the terminal device; and

interpret the indicated portion of the script using the received subset of the local context data of the terminal device.

5. A method of managing virtual sessions, comprising:

beginning an interpretation of a script at a host device according to local context data of the host device, the script associated with a virtual session hosted by the host device on behalf of a terminal device communicatively coupled with the host computing device;

recognizing a language element in the script at the host device, the language element indicating a portion of the script associated with interpretation according to local context data of the terminal device;

receiving results of an interpretation of the indicated portion of the script according to the local context data of the terminal device; and

continuing to interpret the script at the host device according to the context data of the host computing device using the received results.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising:

communicating with the terminal device to instruct the terminal device to interpret the indicated portion of the script according to the local context of the terminal device.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

transmitting the indicated portion of the script from the host device to the terminal device.

8. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

identifying a current state of the script interpretation; and

transmitting the identified current state of the script interpretation from the host device to the terminal device in response to the determination.

9. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

receiving the results of the interpretation of the indicated portion of the script from the terminal device over a network.

10. The method of claim 5, further comprising:

communicating with the terminal device to receive at least a subset of the local context data of the terminal device.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

interpreting the indicated portion of the script at the host device using the received subset of the local context data of the terminal device.

12. The method of claim 5, wherein the local context of the terminal device comprises at least one local variable associated with the terminal device.

13. A host device, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory communicatively coupled with the at least one processor, the memory storing code that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to;

begin interpreting a script according to local context data of the host device, the script associated with a virtual session hosted by the host device on behalf of a terminal device communicatively coupled with the host computing device;

recognize a language element in the script, the language element indicating a portion of the script associated with interpretation according to local context data of the terminal device;

receive results of an interpretation of the indicated portion of the script according to the local context data of the terminal device; and

continue to interpret the script according to the context data of the host computing device using the received results.

14. The host device of claim 13, wherein the code further causes the at least one processor to:

communicate with the terminal device to instruct the terminal device to interpret the indicated portion of the script according to the local context of the terminal device.

15. The host device of claim 14, wherein the code further causes the at least one processor to:

transmit the indicated portion of the script from the host device to the terminal device.

16. The host device of claim 14, wherein the code further causes the at least one processor to:

determine that interpretation of the indicated script is dependent on at least one value stored locally at the host device; and

transmit the at least one value from the host device to the terminal device in response to the determination.

17. The host device of claim 14, wherein the code further causes the at least one processor to:

receive the results of the interpretation of the indicated portion of the script from the terminal device over a network.

18. The host device of claim 13, wherein the code further causes the at least one processor to:

communicate with the terminal device to receive at least a subset of the local context data of the terminal device.

19. The host device of claim 18, wherein the code further causes the at least one processor to:

interpret the indicated portion of the script at the host device using the received subset of the local context data of the terminal device.

20. The host device of claim 13, wherein the local context of the terminal device comprises at least one local variable associated with the terminal device.
