The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0021] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a cloud application enhancement terminal structure provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1As shown, the cloud application enhanced terminal structure includes: a virtualization server 101 where the cloud application resides, a regular host 102 connected to the virtualization server 101, a dedicated cloud application receiving device 103 connected to the regular host 102, an output switch 104 connected to both the regular host 102 and the dedicated cloud application receiving device 103, and a display 105 connected to the output switch 104.

[0022] This disclosure provides a cloud application enhancement terminal structure, which includes: a virtualization server 101 where the cloud application resides, a regular host 102 connected to the virtualization server 101, a dedicated cloud application receiving device 103 connected to the regular host 102, an output switch 104 connected to both the regular host 102 and the dedicated cloud application receiving device 103, and a display 105 connected to the output switch 104, so that the performance of existing regular computers can support high-performance cloud applications.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the cloud application enhanced terminal structure includes: cloud application image data channel 1, shallow compressed image data channel 2, output switch control channel 3, ordinary host image output channel 4, cloud application dedicated receiving device image output channel 5, and output switch display output channel 6.

[0024] In this embodiment, cloud application image data channel 1 is used to transmit deeply compressed image data and application window attributes; wherein, the deeply compressed image data includes H.264 and H.265, etc., and the application window attributes include window position and window size, etc. Shallow compressed image data channel 2 is used to transmit LZ4 encoded data or pure RGB data from the cloud application dedicated receiving device 103.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the cloud application image data channel 1 is the connection link between the virtualization server 101 and the ordinary host 102; the shallow compressed image data channel 2 is the connection link between the ordinary host 102 and the cloud application dedicated receiving device 103; the output switch control channel 3 and the ordinary host image output channel 4 are both connection links between the ordinary host 102 and the output switch 104; the cloud application dedicated receiving device image output channel 5 is the connection link between the cloud application dedicated receiving device 103 and the output switch 104; and the output switch display output channel 6 is the connection link between the output switch 104 and the display 105.

[0026] Preferably, the input terminals of the output switch 104 include a first input interface, a second input interface, and a third input interface; wherein, the first input interface is connected to the ordinary host image output channel; the second input interface is connected to the output switch control channel; and the third input interface is connected to the image output channel of the cloud application dedicated receiving device.

[0027] In one embodiment, the output terminal of the output switch is connected to the output switch display output channel.

[0028] The cloud application enhanced terminal structure provided in this disclosure has two working modes when using integrated cloud applications and native applications:

[0029] Local mode, meaning the application is currently in use locally:

[0030] In this mode, the ordinary host 102 forwards the deeply compressed cloud application data received from the cloud application image data channel 1 to the dedicated cloud application receiving device 103 via the shallow compressed image data channel 2. The dedicated cloud application receiving device 103 transcodes this data into shallow compressed data and returns it to the ordinary host 102 via the shallow compressed image data channel 2. The ordinary host 102 then renders this data to the corresponding local window, and the output switch 104 selects the ordinary host 102 for output. In this scenario, it is assumed that the user's focus is on the local application, and the image quality of the cloud application, such as frame rate and sharpness, can be appropriately reduced.

[0031] Cloud application mode, meaning the current application is a cloud application:

[0032] In this mode, the ordinary host 102 forwards the deeply compressed cloud application data received from the cloud application image data channel 1 to the dedicated cloud application receiving device 103 via the shallowly compressed image data channel 2. Simultaneously, it sends the shallowly compressed image data of the ordinary host 102's desktop image and application window information to the dedicated cloud application receiving device 103 via the shallowly compressed image data channel 2. The dedicated cloud application receiving device 103 decodes the cloud application image and the ordinary host 102's desktop image, and then merges the decoded image with window performance attributes before outputting it to the dedicated cloud application receiving device's image output channel 5. The output switch 104 selects the dedicated cloud application receiving device 103 to output. In this case, it is assumed that the user's focus is on the cloud application, and the image quality of the ordinary host 102's desktop, such as frame rate and clarity, can be appropriately reduced.

[0033] It should be noted that the mode determination and switching in this embodiment are implemented by the ordinary host 102. The determination can be handled according to the actual application scenario, for example:

[0034] Image ratio: If the cloud application window occupies more than a certain percentage of the area, such as 50%, it is considered to be in cloud application mode; otherwise, it is in local application mode.

[0035] Window position: If the currently active window is a cloud application mapping window, it is in cloud application mode; otherwise, it is in local application mode.

[0036] It is understood that the mode switching in this embodiment can also be done manually, and the ordinary host 102 provides a toolbar for users to switch freely.

[0037] Other embodiments of this disclosure will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the disclosure herein. This disclosure is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this disclosure that follow the general principles of this disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein.
