Remote Desktop Transition via IP Address Mirroring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote desktop solutions are inefficient for low power devices as they require high bandwidth and provide limited performance, making it difficult for users to access full computing power seamlessly from devices like slates, smartbooks, or smartphones.
Innovation Solution
A base-satellite system is implemented where a low power satellite device can transition automatically to a remote desktop state by using an IP address mirrored from a high power base device, allowing seamless connectivity and authentication without user intervention, using IP protocol-based connections and stored credentials.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional remote desktop solutions are used on low power devices, then users can access remote computing resources, but the performance is limited and bandwidth consumption is high
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the computing workload by separating the low-power client device from the high-power remote computing environment. The client device handles only lightweight tasks such as display rendering and input processing, while the remote server handles computationally intensive operations. This segmentation allows low-power devices to provide remote desktop access without consuming excessive bandwidth or energy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary component that manages the connection between the low-power client device and the remote computing environment. This intermediary handles protocol conversion, session management, and resource allocation, enabling efficient communication while reducing the bandwidth requirements on the client device.
2Reliability
If users transition from connected to remote state manually, then authentication can be performed, but user intervention is required causing interruption
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing authentication credentials and session parameters while the device is in the connected state. When transitioning to remote mode, these pre-configured credentials are automatically used, eliminating the need for manual user intervention and ensuring seamless transitions while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The client device is configured to automatically handle the transition process including authentication, credential management, and session establishment without requiring user input. The system serves itself by maintaining stored credentials and automatically initiating the remote desktop connection when appropriate conditions are met.
3Adaptability or versatility
If IP address mirroring is implemented, then seamless transition between connected and remote states is enabled, but additional memory storage is required
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a copy of the IP address information from the connected state and stores it in memory for use in remote mode. This copying mechanism enables the device to seamlessly transition between states by retrieving the stored IP address, providing adaptability while requiring only minimal memory resources to store the address information.
