Remote Desktop Multimedia Content Access Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Remote desktop access often results in less than optimal output quality and lag for multimedia content, particularly bidirectional video and audio, due to the need for streaming and synchronization within the remote desktop session.
Innovation Solution
The host device detects multimedia content access within a remote desktop session and instructs the client device to directly access the content outside of the session, preventing playback at the host device and allowing the client device to access and play back the content in a compatible format, even if initially inaccessible or incompatible.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multimedia content is streamed within the remote desktop session, then the user can access the content remotely, but the output quality deteriorates and lag occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts multimedia content access from the remote desktop session framework. When multimedia content is detected, the system separates the content delivery path from the remote desktop protocol, allowing the client device to directly access and play back the content locally rather than streaming it through the remote session, thereby eliminating quality degradation and lag while preserving remote access functionality.
2Stability of the object's composition
If multimedia content is played back within the remote desktop session, then synchronization can be maintained, but network bandwidth consumption increases and lag occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces a detection mechanism that acts as an intermediary between the remote desktop session and multimedia playback. When multimedia content is detected, this intermediary redirects the content delivery path to direct local playback on the client device, eliminating the need for continuous network streaming while maintaining synchronization through the original session detection.
3Ease of operation
If the host device streams multimedia content to the client device, then the user can view the content, but playback quality is reduced and choppy performance occurs
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of the host device streaming content to the client device (traditional direction), the system inverts the approach by enabling the client device to directly access and play back the content locally. This reversal eliminates the quality degradation caused by streaming while maintaining content accessibility through the remote desktop interface.
Data Source
AI summary
A remote desktop session is established between a remote desktop host device and a remote desktop client device to permit remote usage of the remote desktop host device at the remote desktop client device. The remote desktop host device detects access of multimedia content at the remote desktop host device by the remote desktop client device within the remote desktop session. The remote desktop host device, in response to detecting access of the multimedia content within the remote desktop session, provides instructions to the remote desktop client device to directly access the multimedia content outside of the remote desktop session.
