TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of communication, and in particular, to a virtual peripheral channel connection method and device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to the characteristics of cloud computing, the operating system and peripheral port of a virtual machine (VM) are reserved in the cloud, which results in that the cloud desktop cannot normally use the local external device. To this end, the concept of a virtual peripheral channel is introduced, that is, after a user logs in a client to connect a cloud desktop, the cloud desktop can read the local port through a created virtual peripheral channel.

[0003] However, when the user connects multiple cloud desktops and uses a local operating system, the external device is only allowed to be used in one operating system, that is, only one cloud desktop can use the external device. With the change of the use scene, when it is needed to switch to another cloud desktop system, the user needs to first disconnect the currently used cloud desktop or manually cut off the peripheral port, and then set the virtual peripheral channel to the switched cloud desktop, otherwise the local operating system will not be able to use the external device.

[0027] In the embodiment, a virtual peripheral channel connection method running on the above computer terminal or virtual peripheral channel following system is provided. In the case that the client can normally connect to a desktop and normally create a virtual peripheral channel, the method can be used in the scenario that a user needs to switch between a cloud desktop and a local or other multiple cloud desktops to use a local peripheral. Specifically, in the method, the virtual peripheral channel can be switched to the corresponding cloud desktop system according to the use scenario of the user, so that the user can also use the peripheral device after switching to the cloud desktop, and the availability of the cloud desktop is improved, wherein the peripheral device includes but is not limited to a printer, a USB interface, a U disk, a large-capacity storage, a camera, a card reader, a handwriting board, a serial port, a parallel port and other interface type devices. Figure 3 is a flowchart of the virtual peripheral channel connection method according to the embodiment of the application, as shown in Figure 3 the flowchart includes the following steps:

[0028] Step S302: determining a target cloud desktop system from a plurality of cloud desktop systems according to a detection task;

[0029] In one embodiment, before determining the target cloud desktop system from the plurality of cloud desktop systems according to the detection task, the method further includes: obtaining a policy parameter allowing the virtual peripheral channel to follow from a cloud management platform; and starting the detection task according to the policy parameter.

[0030] In one embodiment, after the user logs in on the client, the client side obtains the policy parameter allowing the virtual peripheral channel to follow from the cloud management platform, and the virtual peripheral channel self-following tool on the client side starts a timing task, that is, a detection task, according to the policy parameter.

[0031] The cloud desktop system includes but is not limited to Win7 / 10 / 11 / server, Kylin, UOS system; the terminal Win7 / 10 / 11, Kylin, UOS operating system and the Win7 / 10 / 11, Kylin, UOS operating system of the desktop are randomly matched for use.

[0032] In step S302 of the embodiment, the target cloud desktop system is determined from the plurality of cloud desktop systems according to the detection task, including: according to the detection task, sequentially performing the following detection items: whether there is a full-screen cloud desktop system, whether there is a windowed cloud desktop system, detecting the toolbar configuration of the user; and determining the target cloud desktop system from the plurality of cloud desktop systems according to the detection results of the detection items.

[0033] In one embodiment, according to the detection task, the following detection items are sequentially performed: whether there is a full-screen cloud desktop system, whether there is a windowed cloud desktop system, and detecting the toolbar configuration of the user, including: in the absence of a full-screen cloud desktop system, detecting whether there is a windowed cloud desktop system; in the presence of a windowed cloud desktop system, detecting the toolbar configuration of the user, and setting the virtual peripheral channel according to the toolbar configuration.

[0034] In one embodiment, the target cloud desktop system is determined from the plurality of cloud desktop systems according to the detection results of the detection items, including: in the presence of a full-screen cloud desktop system, the full-screen cloud desktop system is determined as the target cloud desktop system, and the detection task is ended.

[0035] In one embodiment, the target cloud desktop system is determined from the plurality of cloud desktop systems according to the detection results of the detection items, including: in the absence of a windowed cloud desktop system, disconnecting the existing virtual peripheral channel, and ending the detection task.

[0036] That is, in the virtual peripheral channel connection method of the embodiment of the application, the detection task includes: first detecting whether there is a full-screen cloud desktop system, if there is, connecting the virtual peripheral channel to the full-screen cloud desktop system, if there is not, detecting whether there is a windowed cloud desktop system, if there is not, disconnecting the currently connected virtual peripheral channel, and ending the detection task, if there is, detecting the toolbar configuration of the user.

[0037] In one embodiment, in the presence of a windowed cloud desktop system, the toolbar configuration of the user is detected, and the virtual peripheral channel is set according to the toolbar configuration, including: in the case where the toolbar configuration is a first configuration, disconnecting an existing virtual peripheral channel; in the case where the toolbar configuration is a second configuration and the user's use time of the current cloud desktop system exceeds a preset threshold, determining the current cloud desktop system as the target cloud desktop system, and connecting the virtual peripheral channel to the target cloud desktop system; in the case where the toolbar configuration is a third configuration, determining the cloud desktop system set in the third configuration as the target cloud desktop system, and connecting the virtual peripheral channel to the target cloud desktop system.

[0038] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the first configuration is configured as "local use", the second configuration is configured as "follow keyboard and mouse", and the third configuration is configured as "desktop (name1) use". Figure 4

[0039] For the toolbar configuration configured as "local use", in the case where the toolbar configuration of the user is detected as "local use", the existing virtual peripheral channel is disconnected, and the detection task is ended.

[0040] For the toolbar configuration configured as "follow keyboard and mouse", that is, following the keyboard or mouse, in the case where the toolbar configuration of the user is detected as "follow keyboard and mouse", the detection task judges whether the user's use time of the current cloud desktop system is N seconds (that is, a preset threshold), where N is an integer greater than zero and can be set according to actual application conditions. If N seconds are not reached, no action is performed, and the detection task is ended. If N seconds are reached or exceeded, a virtual peripheral channel is established in the current window, the virtual peripheral channel is connected to the current cloud desktop system, and the detection task is ended.

[0041] For the toolbar configuration configured as "desktop (name1) use", for example, configured as "desktop 1 use", configured as "desktop 2 use", and configured as "desktop M use", where M is an integer greater than zero, in the case where the toolbar configuration of the user is detected as "desktop 1 use", desktop 1 is determined as the target cloud desktop system, the virtual peripheral channel is connected to desktop 1, and the detection task is ended. In the case where the toolbar configuration of the user is detected as "desktop 2 use", desktop 2 is determined as the target cloud desktop system, the virtual peripheral channel is connected to desktop 2, and the detection task is ended. In the case where the toolbar configuration of the user is detected as "desktop N use", desktop M is determined as the target cloud desktop system, the virtual peripheral channel is connected to desktop M, and the detection task is ended.

[0042] Step S304, connecting the virtual peripheral channel to the target cloud desktop system; ​

[0043] Through the above steps, the target cloud desktop system can be determined according to the detection task, and the virtual peripheral channel is connected to the target cloud desktop system, so that when the user switches the cloud desktop system, the virtual peripheral channel can be switched along with the switching of the cloud desktop system, that is, the cloud desktop system frequently used by the user is confirmed, and the virtual peripheral channel is accurately connected to the currently used cloud desktop system, so that the automatic following function is realized. Therefore, the problem that the cloud desktop system connected by the virtual peripheral channel cannot be automatically switched according to the use scene of the user in the related art can be solved, and the usability of the cloud desktop is improved.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, compared with the prior art, by adding the automatic following function of the virtual peripheral channel, the cloud desktop system connected by the virtual peripheral channel can be automatically adjusted according to the use scene of the user, and the user's use experience is improved. As shown in Figure 5 Figure 5 is the overall flowchart of the virtual peripheral channel connection method according to the embodiment of the present application. In the method of the embodiment of the present application, a timing detection task is added, and the functions of automatic following are realized by detecting whether the "peripheral redirection tool detects whether there is a full screen", "whether there is a windowed cloud desktop system", "detecting user toolbar configuration", "statistical following keyboard and mouse use time" and the like. The following implementation method is specifically adopted:

[0045] Step S501, the client side starts a timing task.

[0046] Specifically, the user logs in at the client side, obtains the policy parameters of allowing the virtual peripheral channel to automatically follow from the cloud management platform, and the client side virtual peripheral channel self-following tool starts the timing task.

[0047] Step S502, the client side virtual peripheral channel self-following tool detects whether there is a full screen window (i.e. a full screen cloud desktop system), if there is, step S503 is executed; if not, step S504 is executed.

[0048] Step S503, the virtual peripheral channel is established in the current full screen window, and the timing task is ended.

[0049] Step S504, the client side virtual peripheral channel self-following tool detects whether there is a windowed cloud desktop system, if there is not, step S505 is executed; if there is, step S506 is executed.

[0050] Step S505, disconnecting the existing virtual peripheral channel, and ending the timing task.

[0051] Step S506, the client side virtual peripheral channel self-following tool detects the user toolbar configuration, and selects the virtual peripheral channel according to the user's configuration:

[0052] ​Step S507, configured as "local use": disconnect the existing virtual peripheral channel, end the timing task;

[0053] Step S508, configured as "desktop 1" use: establish a virtual peripheral channel on desktop 1, end the timing task; configured as "desktop 2" use: establish a virtual peripheral channel on desktop 2, end the timing task; and configured as "desktop N" use: establish a virtual peripheral channel on desktop N, end the timing task.

[0054] Step S509, configured as "follow the keyboard and mouse": the detection mechanism judges whether the user uses the current desktop for N seconds, if not, step S510 is executed; if yes, step S511 is executed.

[0055] Step S510, no action is performed, and the timing task is ended.

[0056] Step S511, a virtual peripheral channel is established in the current window, and the timing task is ended.

[0057] At this point, the virtual peripheral channel can automatically follow according to the switching of the user's use scenario, greatly increasing the user experience and improving the usability of the cloud desktop.

[0058] In the related art, the cloud desktop supports redirecting the local peripheral to a single cloud desktop for internal use. Under this scheme, when the cloud desktop creates a virtual peripheral channel, there are two problems:

[0059] 1. After the peripheral channel is created, unless the currently used cloud desktop is disconnected or the peripheral port is manually released, the local operating system will temporarily be unable to use the peripheral;

[0060] 2. When multiple cloud desktops are accessed at the same time, only one desktop can use the peripheral, that is, the peripheral channel function only supports use in one system.

[0061] Through the above embodiments of the application, the "windowed peripheral redirection configuration" option is added to the user's cloud desktop toolbar, and the default preset "local use", "follow the keyboard and mouse", and "desktop (name 1) use" are provided for the user to select. According to the currently connected desktop, subsequent options such as "desktop (name 2) use" are automatically added. Then, through the detection task, the processes of "whether there is a full-screen desktop", "whether there is a windowed desktop", "checking the toolbar configuration", and "counting the keyboard and mouse use time" are used to confirm the desktop that the user frequently uses, and the peripheral channel is accurately connected to the currently used desktop, thereby realizing the automatic following function. The usability of the cloud computer product is improved, the user experience is improved, the threshold for ordinary users to use the cloud computer is lowered, and the promotion of the cloud computer product is facilitated.
