Remote Access Pressure Sensor Data Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Providing pressure-sensitive functionality in remote access environments is challenging due to hosted applications not natively supporting it and client devices not being configured to transmit pressure sensor data.
Innovation Solution
Receiving pressure sensor data from client devices and using it to perform operations in a remote access environment, such as changing font characteristics or switching active applications, by determining whether the data is associated with an application or the operating system and transmitting appropriate commands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If pressure sensor data is transmitted from client device to remote access environment, then pressure-sensitive functionality is enabled in remote applications, but device complexity and data transmission requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a remote access environment as an intermediary layer between the client device and hosted applications. The client device transmits pressure sensor data to the remote access environment, which then processes and routes the data to appropriate applications. This mediator approach enables pressure-sensitive functionality in remote applications without requiring each application to have native pressure sensor support, thus improving adaptability while managing complexity through centralized handling.
2Ease of operation
If hosted applications natively support pressure-sensitive functionality, then user experience is enhanced, but application development complexity and requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The remote access environment is designed as a universal platform that handles pressure sensor data processing for multiple different applications. Instead of requiring each application to implement its own pressure-sensitive functionality, the remote access environment provides a multi-functional solution that serves various applications with different pressure-sensitive requirements through a common data processing framework, thereby improving ease of operation without increasing application development complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The remote access environment acts as an intermediary that decouples the pressure sensor data processing from individual applications. Applications can receive processed pressure data through standard interfaces without needing to implement complex pressure-sensitive logic themselves, thus enhancing user experience while keeping application development simple.
3Adaptability or versatility
If client device transmits pressure sensor data to remote access environment, then pressure-sensitive interactions are enabled, but data transmission bandwidth and network requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential pressure sensor data from the client device and transmits it to the remote access environment, rather than transmitting complete application states or redundant information. This selective extraction approach enables pressure-sensitive interactions while minimizing data transmission bandwidth requirements by sending only the necessary sensor data for processing.

AI summary
Described herein are methods and systems that use pressure sensor data as a basis for performing one or more operations in a remote access environment. For example, a device may be configured with one or more pressure sensors that, based on a user's press, may generate pressure sensor data indicating an amount of force being applied by the user's press. The pressure sensor data may be used, in accordance with the various embodiments and variations described herein, to cause one or more operations to be performed by an enterprise resource or an enterprise service. In some embodiments, the one or more operations may be performed by an application or an operating system executing in the remote access environment. Some non-limiting examples of the types of operations that may be performed include a change to a font characteristic and a change to a text characteristic.
