| 20090287834 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ALLOCATING ON-DEMAND RESOURCES USING A CONNECTION MANAGER - A method and system provide a user-friendly mechanism that allows the user to access remote on-demand resources through a network only when the resources are required. These on-demand resources are accessed using a connection manager that is enabled on a client when, for example, the user moves a mouse cursor to an active edge of the client computer screen. Once enabled, the connection manager allows the user access to any on-demand resources to which the user has authorization. These on-demand resources can be freed from the user when they are no longer needed, so that these resources can be used by other users. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090327503 | Connection Management System For Multiple Connections - In one embodiment a computing system comprises one or more processors, a display device coupled to the computing system, a connection client module, at least one remote access client module, a memory module communicatively connected to the one or more processors and comprising logic to; receive a service request from a user via a remote connection client coupled to the connection server, wherein the service request comprises at least one user credential, authenticate the at least one user credential, retrieve at least one user profile associated with the user, connection data for at least one remote system and at least one policy associated with the at least one user profile, transmit the at least one user profile, at least one remote system and the connection data for at least one remote system and at least one policy associated with the at least one user profile from the connection server to the remote connection client. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100071042 | SELECTION AND APPLICATION OF ROLES AND SYSTEMS BASED ON USERNAME AND LAYOUT ID - In one embodiment a computing system comprises one or more processors, a display device coupled to the computing system, and a memory module communicatively connected to the one or more processors. The memory module comprises logic to receive, in a connection server, a service request from a user via a remote connection client, wherein the service request comprises at least one of a user credential, a connection client identifier, and a layout identifier, authenticate, in the connection server, the user credential and the connection client identifier, retrieve, in the connection server, a user profile associated with the user, a connection client layout associated with the layout identifier, connection data for at least one remote system, and a policy associated with the user profile, and transmit the user profile, the connection client layout, a remote system and the connection data for a remote system and a policy associated with the user profile from the connection server to the remote connection client. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100082815 | Assignment And Failover Of Resources - Included are embodiments for assignment and failover of resources. More specifically, at least one embodiment of a method includes assigning, to a user of an access device ( | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100083032 | CONNECTION BROKER ASSIGNMENT STATUS REPORTING - In one embodiment a computing system comprises one or more processors, a display device coupled to the computing system, and a memory module communicatively connected to the one or more processors. The memory module comprises logic to receive, in a connection server, a service request from a user via a remote connection client; in response to the service request, instantiate a remote computing protocol in a computing resource, monitor a connection state between the remote connection client and the computing resource; and in response to a change in the connection state between the remote connection client and the computing resource, generate a connection state message, and transfer the connection state message to the remote connection client. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20110055893 | COMMUNICATION APPLICATION - In at least some embodiments, a computer system includes a processor and a system memory coupled to the processor. The system memory stores a communication application that, when executed, provides first stage operations and second stage operations. The computer system also includes a network interface coupled to the processor. The first stage operations comprise a selective exchange of primary connection information with a communication endpoint via the network interface. The second stage operations comprise initiating a peer-to-peer communication session with the communication endpoint based on the primary connection information. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110093917 | Hierarchical Policy Management - A system and method for administering access to a central resource by a remote access device. A system includes a remote access device and a computer executing a hierarchical policy manager. The remote access device requests access to a central resource. The hierarchical policy manager determines a policy for allowing the device to access the resource by evaluating access policies at a plurality of precedence levels of a policy hierarchy. The hierarchical policy manager allows the device to access the resource based on the policy set at the highest precedence level of the policy hierarchy at which access control is specified. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20110096699 | MEDIA PIPELINE FOR A CONFERENCING SESSION - In at least some embodiments, a computer system includes a processor and a network interface coupled to the processor. The computer system also includes a system memory coupled to the processor. The system memory stores a communication application having a media pipeline module. The media pipeline module, when executed, provides a media pipeline for a conferencing session of the communication application. The media pipeline module enables dynamic changes to participants during a conferencing session without restarting the media pipeline. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110099227 | COMMUNICATION APPLICATION WITH STEADY-STATE CONFERENCING - In at least some embodiments, a computer system includes a processor and a network interface coupled to the processor. The computer system also includes a system memory coupled to the processor. The system memory stores a communication application having a steady-state conferencing module and a network manager module. The network manager module, when executed, monitors network changes. The steady-state conferencing module, when executed, maintains a steady-state conferencing user interface while network changes detected by the network manager module are handled. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110099485 | ACOUSTIC ECHO CANCELLATION (AEC) WITH CONFERENCING ENVIRONMENT TEMPLATES (CETs) - In at least some embodiments, a computer system includes a processor and a network interface coupled to the processor. The computer system also includes a system memory coupled to the processor, the system memory storing a communication application having a conferencing user interface. The conferencing user interface, when executed, enables a user to set up a conferencing session by selecting one of a plurality of conferencing environment templates (CETs). Each CET is matched to one of a plurality of different sets of acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) parameters to be applied during the conferencing session. | 04-28-2011 |
