Remote-Local Settings Engine Using Dynamic Virtual Channels
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cloud access management systems lack comprehensive computing and logic to manage local settings of local clients using cloud-based resources, leading to limitations in seamless integration and configuration of local hardware and software settings, impacting user experience and performance.
Innovation Solution
A blended remote-local settings management engine that integrates local and remote settings management via a dynamic virtual channel, utilizing a shared extension-based framework to provide unified settings management across different platforms, enabling seamless configuration and synchronization of local settings on remote clients.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If remote clients operate in a virtualized environment with virtualization technology that restricts interaction with local settings, then security and stability are improved, but the ability to manage local settings is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a settings management engine as an intermediary component that operates within the virtualized remote client environment. This engine acts as a mediator between the remote client's virtualized OS and the local client's hardware settings, enabling configuration of local settings without breaking the virtualization isolation. The intermediary translates high-level settings commands into appropriate local client configuration actions while maintaining security boundaries.
2Adaptability or versatility
If remote clients are designed for a consistent remote experience rather than deep integration with local hardware or software, then remote experience consistency is improved, but local settings configuration capability is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The settings management engine is designed with universal functionality that enables the remote client to perform multiple functions: it maintains the consistent remote experience while simultaneously providing deep integration capabilities with local hardware and software settings. The engine offers a unified settings interface that works across different remote client configurations and can adapt to various local client types, making the system both versatile and locally integrative.
3Reliability
If the complexity of synchronizing local settings with a remote environment is reduced, then performance and stability are improved, but the level of integration between local and remote settings is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The settings management system is segmented into distinct functional modules: a settings management engine for high-level coordination, a local client interface for hardware interaction, and a remote client interface for user configuration. This segmentation allows each component to operate independently with well-defined interfaces, reducing synchronization complexity while maintaining high integration levels. The modular architecture enables performance optimization in each segment without compromising overall system integration.

AI summary
Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing blended settings management using a blended remote-local settings management engine are described. The blended remote-local settings management engine integrates different settings controllers into blended settings management via remote clients. In operation, an indication to initiate settings configuration is accessed at a remote client. The indication is processed using a blended remote-local settings management engine that integrates management of remote settings of remote clients and local settings of local clients. Based on the indication, a request for a local setting of a local client associated with the remote client is generated. The request is communicated to the local client using a dynamic virtual channel between the remote client and the local client. Based on the request, the local setting of the local client is retrieved. Display of the local setting is caused on a blended remote-local settings interface associated with blended settings management.
