20100327059 | Method and system for smart card virtualization - Methods and systems are provided to allow personal computer users to virtualize a local smart card so that they can remotely connect to a server and interact with the server as if the local smart card was physically connected to the server. They connect a remote smart card target hardware device to the target system through a physical connection, such as a USB connection, and the device interacts with the local user's computer and smart card reader over a network. The target system is unaware that the smart card reader is not connected directly to the system through a physical connection, and the target system does not need special software to implement the remote smart card reader. The smart card target device connected to the target computer may be physically connected and disconnected. | 12-30-2010 |
20110029699 | Method and System for Routing Keystrokes in a Client Server Network - Methods and systems are provided that handle certain keystrokes or keystroke combinations on a remote station so that a user may select whether those keystrokes are sent to a target device, or whether they affect a remote station controlling the target device. Such systems allow the user to select which keystrokes, or keystroke combinations are sent to the target device, the remote station, or both. This allows the user the flexibility to tailor a remote KVM presence. These systems intercept keystrokes entered on the remote station and route them according to pre-selected criteria determined by the user. To intercept the keystrokes the software running on the remote station installs a low-level keyboard hook. This hook allows the software to view and route the keystrokes before the remote station's operating system gets notified of the keystroke. | 02-03-2011 |
20110032982 | Method and System for Remote Viewing of Static and Video Images - Methods and systems are provided that allow a user to remotely access another computer and view its desktop without regard to whether that desktop has a relatively static image typical of a computer desktop, or whether it is playing a video, such as from a DVD. Relatively static screens may be displayed along with full motion video in such systems. These systems may also provide for both short mouse lag time when full motion video is displayed. In one implementation, hardware and firmware captures and encodes the video from the remote computer, and software on the client computer decodes the encoded video and displays it to the user. | 02-10-2011 |
20110320827 | System and Method for Identifying Power Connections in Computer Systems Having Redundant Power Supplies - A Power Distribution Unit (PDU) control system controls a PDU and communicates with a server management controller of a server. Through its connections, the PDU control system can track and manage the power supplies and locations of servers connected to those power supplies. A PDU receives commands at its communications port from a PDU control system to shut down a power strip or power outlet to which the PDU is connected via one of plural power interfaces. In turn, a server's management controller detects when a power supply shuts down due to the shut down of the power strip or power outlet. The server's management controller can be either queried by the PDU control system or the controller can send a notification to the PDU control system indicating which power supply lost power, thereby correlating the power strip to the server. | 12-29-2011 |
20120106650 | Method and System for Block and DVC Compression - Methods and systems are provided that combine Dambrackas Video Compression (DVC) with block video compression. When transmitting video frames that are changing, they determine which blocks have changed from frame to frame and transmit the information for the blocks that have changed. They apply DVC compression to the blocks that have changed, reducing the amount of data to be transmitted from frame to frame. Information regarding the blocks that have changed may be the only information transmitted, and the information transmitted in the changed blocks is compressed using DVC commands. These methods and systems may realize a combined benefit of block compression systems and DVC systems. These systems provide a way to enhance DVC so that only blocks of video data that have changed are encoded and compressed and thus fewer bytes of data will be sent to the client. | 05-03-2012 |
20120246355 | Method and System for Audio Device Virtualization - Methods and systems are provided to allow personal computer users to virtualize a local audio device so that they can remotely connect to a server and interact with the server as if the local audio device was physically connected to the server. They connect a remote audio target hardware device to the target system through a physical USB connection, and the device interacts with the local user's computer over a network. The target system is unaware that the audio device is not connected directly to the system through a physical connection, and the target system does not need special software to implement the remote audio device. The audio target hardware device connected to the target computer may be physically connected and disconnected. | 09-27-2012 |
20120246359 | Method and System for USB Device Virtualization - Methods and systems are provided to allow personal computer users to virtualize a local USB device so that they can remotely connect to a server and interact with the server as if the local USB device was physically connected to the server. They connect a remote USB target hardware device to the target system through a physical USB connection, and the device interacts with the local user's computer over a network. The target system is unaware that the USB device is not connected directly to the system through a physical connection, and the target system does not need special software to implement the remote USB device. The USB target hardware device connected to the target computer may be physically connected and disconnected. | 09-27-2012 |
20150163282 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACCESSING REMOTE DISK IMAGES USING A VMEDIA CLIENT AND THROUGH A REMOTE ACCESS APPLIANCE - A method is disclosed for remotely accessing disc images using a KVM/vMedia client. device communicates a first message to a controller at a remote site. The first message is an inquiry of available disk images from at least one disk image server. The controller responds to the first message with a second message that identifies at least one available disk image file on the disk image server. The KVM/vMedia client then transmits a third message representing a selected disk image file back to the controller. The controller responds by mounting the selected disk image file in the controller using a predetermined file system, and then exposing the mounted disk image file to a host computing system in communication with the controller for use by the KVM/vMedia client. | 06-11-2015 |
