Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cloud desktop technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, system, and medium for remotely activating a cloud desktop GUI application. Background Technology

[0002] Cloud desktops are a virtualization solution based on cloud computing technology that moves a computer's operating system and applications from the local device to the cloud. With its flexibility, security, cost-effectiveness, and scalability, cloud desktops are becoming the preferred solution for an increasing number of enterprises and organizations.

[0003] However, currently, GUI applications (applications with graphical user interfaces) on cloud desktops only support displaying the user interface after being manually clicked to run. Remote command invocation runs in headless mode, so the application is launched in the background after the command is run, but the user interface is not displayed. The inability of users to see the interface will cause problems such as users being unable to operate, which seriously limits the in-depth application of cloud desktops. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method, device, system and medium for remotely activating cloud desktop GUI applications. By designing process communication programs and middleware programs that run on the cloud desktop, the GUI applications on the cloud desktop can be activated by remote commands, which greatly expands the application scope of cloud desktops.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for remotely activating a cloud desktop GUI application, comprising:

[0006] Install a process communication program and a middleware program on the cloud desktop; the process communication program is used to receive command parameters passed by PowerShell commands, and then pass the command parameters to the middleware program; the middleware program is a GUI program that starts automatically with the cloud desktop, and is used to launch the corresponding GUI application according to the command parameters passed by the process communication program.

[0007] Create a PowerShell command on the local machine. The PowerShell command is used to start the inter-process communication program of the cloud desktop and pass command parameters. Then, the PowerShell command is executed by connecting to the cloud desktop with the specified IP address through the sshclient library.

[0008] Once the cloud desktop's inter-process communication program obtains the command parameters of the PowerShell command, it passes the command parameters to the middleware program, which then launches the corresponding GUI application based on the command parameters.

[0009] Furthermore, the interface of the middleware program is set to be invisible.

[0010] Furthermore, the command parameters include the startup path of the GUI application or the name of the GUI application.

[0011] Furthermore, the command parameters also include parameters required by the GUI application.

[0012] Secondly, the present invention provides a device for remotely activating a cloud desktop GUI application, comprising:

[0013] The process installation module is used to install a process communication program and a middleware program on the cloud desktop. The process communication program is used to receive command parameters passed by PowerShell commands and then pass the command parameters to the middleware program. The middleware program is a graphical user interface program that starts automatically with the cloud desktop and is used to launch the corresponding GUI application according to the command parameters passed by the process communication program.

[0014] The remote execution module is used to create PowerShell commands on the local end. The PowerShell commands are used to start the cloud desktop's inter-process communication program and pass command parameters. Then, the PowerShell commands are executed by connecting to the cloud desktop with the specified IP address through the sshclient library.

[0015] The application initiation module, after the cloud desktop's process communication program obtains the command parameters of the powershel command, passes the command parameters to the middleware program, causing the middleware program to launch the corresponding GUI application according to the command parameters.

[0021] Create a PowerShell command on the local machine. The PowerShell command is used to start the inter-process communication program of the cloud desktop and pass command parameters. Then, the PowerShell command is executed by connecting to the cloud desktop with the specified IP address through the sshclient library.

[0022] Once the cloud desktop's inter-process communication program obtains the command parameters of the PowerShell command, it passes the command parameters to the middleware program, which then launches the corresponding GUI application based on the command parameters.

[0023] Fourthly, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the method described in the first aspect.

[0024] The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention have at least the following technical effects:

[0033] This invention provides a method, apparatus, system, and medium for remotely activating a cloud desktop GUI application. By designing a process communication program and middleware program that run on the cloud desktop, it enables the activation of GUI applications on the cloud desktop via remote commands, greatly expanding the application scope of the cloud desktop.

[0034] The overall concept of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention is as follows:

[0035] The sshclient library executes remote commands to a cloud desktop with a specified IP address. These remote commands are used to assemble the parameters for launching the application. The cloud desktop receives command parameters from the powshell via a pre-installed inter-process communication program (MiddleMessage.exe process). A pre-installed middleware program communicates with the inter-process communication program (MiddleMessage.exe process) to obtain these command parameters and launch the corresponding GUI application. Since the middleware program has a user interface, the GUI application launched through it can display the user interface window correctly.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] This embodiment provides a method for remotely launching a cloud desktop GUI application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, including;

[0038] S1. Install a process communication program and a middleware program on the cloud desktop; the process communication program is used to receive command parameters passed by PowerShell commands and then pass the command parameters to the middleware program; the middleware program is a graphical user interface program that starts automatically with the cloud desktop and is used to launch the corresponding GUI application according to the command parameters passed by the process communication program.

[0039] S2. Create a PowerShell command on the local machine. The PowerShell command is used to start the cloud desktop's inter-process communication program and pass command parameters. Then, it connects to the cloud desktop with the specified IP address through the sshclient library to execute the PowerShell command.

[0040] S3. When the cloud desktop's process communication program obtains the command parameters of the powershel command, it passes the command parameters to the middleware program, which then starts the corresponding GUI application based on the command parameters.

[0041] Since the middleware program is a GUI program, after the corresponding GUI application is launched based on the command parameters obtained from the inter-process communication program, the GUI application can run and display the user interface.

[0042] Preferably, the middleware program's interface is set to be invisible. This can be achieved by hiding the middleware program's interface or setting the middleware program's interface to a very small area, so that it does not affect the desktop display while running.

[0043] Specifically, the command parameters include the startup path of the GUI application (e.g., D:\\qq\\qq.exe) or the name of the GUI application (e.g., notepad.exe). The middleware program can open the corresponding GUI application based on the startup path or the GUI application name.

[0044] In other implementations, besides opening the corresponding GUI application, the command parameters can also include parameters required by the GUI application, thereby enabling further functionality after opening the GUI application. For example, when launching the QQ application, the command parameters can include not only the QQ application's launch path but also the requirement to open a chat window with a specific number. Therefore, after the middleware program opens the QQ application, it will automatically open the chat window with the specified number. Similarly, when launching a store management application, the command parameters can include not only the store management application's launch path but also the IP information of one or more stores. Therefore, after the middleware program opens the store management application, it will also open the store page for the specified IP address. In short, the content included in the command parameters can be customized according to the needs of the launched GUI application to meet richer and more efficient batch automation processing requirements.

[0045] The following are the implementation steps of a specific embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown:

[0046] 1. Install the middleware program (for enabling GUI functionality) and MiddleMessage.exe (for inter-process communication) on the cloud desktop.

[0047] 2. Connect to a specified cloud desktop host and port using the sshclient library. For example: `var client = new SshClient('8.8.8.8', 32580, 'admin', '123456')` initializes a remote connection with IP address 8.8.8.8, port 32580, and username / password admin\123456. Similarly, you can connect to multiple cloud desktops using the sshclient library.

[0048] 3. Create a PowerShell command, for example, the C# command code is: string commandText = $"powershell.exe -Command\"Start-Process C:\\zhanfubrowser\\MiddleMessage.exe -ArgumentList'-path{path}'\""

[0049] Command description:

[0050] a.powershell.exe means to launch powershell.exe;

[0051] b. -Command indicates the command that needs to be executed by PowerShell;

[0052] c.\"Start-Process C:\\zhanfubrowser\\MiddleMessage.exe-ArgumentList'-path{path}'\"" represents the specific command executed by PowerShell, where:

[0053] d.Start-Process C:\\zhanfubrowser\\MiddleMessage.exe indicates that the MiddleMessage process is started;

[0054] e.-ArgumentList'-path{path}' indicates that the parameters accompanying the above process can be customized, such as the parameter-path D:\\qq\\qq.exe (which represents the startup path of the QQ application).

[0055] 4. Create and execute remote commands:

[0056] varcmd=client.CreateCommand(commandText)

[0057] cmd.Execute() / / Execute the command in step 3.

[0058] 5. The MiddleMessage.exe process, which is pre-installed on the cloud desktop, receives the PowerShell command sent in step 4 and passes the command parameters.

[0059] 6. MiddleMessage.exe receives command parameters (such as the startup path of QQ chat) through inter-process communication and passes the corresponding information to the middleware program.

[0060] 7. The intermediate program opens the corresponding GUI program based on the corresponding parameters.

[0061] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides an apparatus corresponding to the method in Embodiment 1, as detailed in Embodiment 2.

[0062] Example 2

[0063] This embodiment provides a device for remotely launching a cloud desktop GUI application, such as... Figure 3 As shown, it includes:

[0064] The process installation module is used to install a process communication program and a middleware program on the cloud desktop. The process communication program is used to receive command parameters passed by PowerShell commands and then pass the command parameters to the middleware program. The middleware program is a graphical user interface program that starts automatically with the cloud desktop and is used to launch the corresponding GUI application according to the command parameters passed by the process communication program.

[0065] The remote execution module is used to create PowerShell commands on the local end. The PowerShell commands are used to start the cloud desktop's inter-process communication program and pass command parameters. Then, the PowerShell commands are executed by connecting to the cloud desktop with the specified IP address through the sshclient library.

[0066] The application initiation module, after the cloud desktop's process communication program obtains the command parameters of the powershel command, passes the command parameters to the middleware program, causing the middleware program to launch the corresponding GUI application according to the command parameters.

[0067] Preferably, in the process installation module, the interface of the middleware program is set to be invisible.

[0068] Specifically, in the remote execution module, the command parameters include the startup path of the GUI application or the name of the GUI application.

[0069] Preferably, in the remote execution module, the command parameters also include parameters required by the GUI application.

[0075] Create a PowerShell command on the local machine. The PowerShell command is used to start the inter-process communication program of the cloud desktop and pass command parameters. Then, the PowerShell command is executed by connecting to the cloud desktop with the specified IP address through the sshclient library.

[0076] Once the cloud desktop's inter-process communication program receives the command parameters for the PowerShell command, it passes these parameters to the middleware program, which then launches the corresponding GUI application based on the command parameters.
