Abstract

A dynamic clip analysis system for use in a networked server-client system includes: a client including a client-side remote application module configured to analyze content from one or more of a client-side clipboard and a client-side drag and drop utility; and a remote application interactively connected with the client over a network via the client-side remote application module, the remote application including: one or more of a remote clipboard and a remote drag and drop utility; and a client-side remote application module configured to analyze content from one or more of the remote clipboard and the remote drag and drop utility, so as to perform dynamic clip analysis in the server-client system.

Claims

1. A dynamic clip analysis system for use in a networked server-client system, comprising:

a client comprising a client-side remote application module configured to analyze client-side content from one or more of a client-side clipboard and a client-side drag and drop utility; and

a remote application interactively connected with the client over a network, the remote application comprising;

one or more of a remote clipboard and a remote drag and drop utility; and

a remote application processing block configured to receive and apply the client-side content analysis, to analyze remote content from one or more of the remote clipboard and the remote drag and drop utility, and to perform one or more of processing the remote content and re-encoding the remote content.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the client-side remote application module is configured to transmit un-cleansed client data via the network to the remote application processing block.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the remote application processing block is configured to receive the un-cleansed client data, to process the client data, and to re-encode the un-cleansed client data as cleansed client data.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the remote application processing block is further configured to transmit the cleansed client data via the network to the client-side remote application module.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the remote application further comprises remote storage.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the remote storage comprises one or more of remote administrator specifications and remote administrator instructions to provide the remote application processing block with input on how to process the received remote content.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the client further comprises client-side storage.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the client-side storage comprises one or more of client-side administrator specifications and client-side administrator functions to provide the client-side remote application module with input on how to process the received client-side content.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the remote application processing block is further configured to perform a remote clipboard transfer action from the remote clipboard to the remote application processing block, wherein the remote clipboard transfer action corresponds to a client-side clipboard transfer action from the client-side clipboard to the client-side remote application module.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the remote application processing block is further configured to perform a remote drag and drop transfer action from the remote drag and drop utility to the remote application processing block, wherein the remote drag and drop transfer action corresponds to a client-side drag and drop transfer action from the client-side drag and drop utility to the client-side remote application module.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein processing the content comprises scrubbing the content.

16. The system of claim 1, wherein the remote application processing block is further configured to perform a remote clipboard transfer action from the remote clipboard to the remote application processing block, wherein the remote clipboard transfer action corresponds to a client-side clipboard transfer action from the client-side clipboard to the client-side remote application module.

17. The system of claim 1, wherein the remote application processing block is further configured to perform a remote drag and drop transfer action from the remote drag and drop utility to the remote application processing block, wherein the remote drag and drop transfer action corresponds to a client-side drag and drop transfer action from the client-side drag and drop utility to the client-side remote application module.

12. A dynamic clip analysis method for use in a networked server-client system, comprising the steps of:

receiving from a client, by a remote application, client-side content analysis performed at the client of one or more of a client-side clipboard and a client-side drag and drop utility;

applying, by the remote application, the received client-side content analysis;

receiving, by the remote application, remote content from one or more of a remote clipboard and a remote drag and drop utility;

analyzing, by the remote application, the received remote content;

processing, by the remote application, the received remote content; and

re-encoding, by the remote application, the received remote content.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising the step of:

receiving from the client, by the remote application, un-cleansed client data transmitted by the client.

14. The system of claim 13, further comprising the steps of:

receiving, by the remote application, the un-cleansed client data;

processing, by the remote application, the un-cleansed client data; and

re-encoding, by the remote application, the un-cleansed client data as cleansed client data.

15. The system of claim 14, further comprising the step of:

transmitting, by the remote application, the cleansed client data via the network to the client.

18. The method of claim 12, wherein the step of processing comprises scrubbing the content.

19. The method of claim 12, wherein the step of processing comprises consulting one or more of remote administrator specifications and remote administrator instructions to obtain input on how to process the received remote content.

20. A dynamic clip analysis system for use in a networked server-client system, comprising:

a client comprising a client-side remote application module configured to analyze client-side content from one or more of a client-side clipboard and a client-side drag and drop utility; and

a remote application interactively connected with the client over a network via the client-side remote application module, the remote application comprising;

one or more of a remote clipboard and a remote drag and drop utility;

remote storage comprising one or more of remote administrator specifications and remote administrator instructions to provide the remote application processing block with input on how to process the received remote content; and

a remote application processing block configured to receive and apply client-side content analysis from the client, the remote application processing block further configured to analyze remote content from one or more of the remote clipboard and the remote drag and drop utility, the remote application processing block further configured to perform one or more of processing the remote content and re-encoding the remote content, the remote application block further configured to receive un-cleansed client data via the network from the client, to process the un-cleansed client data, to re-encode the un-cleansed client data as cleansed client data, and to transmit the cleansed client data via the network to the client-side remote application module.
