Solution Overview

Problem

Current authentication methods for remote desktop sessions are cumbersome, intrusive, and expensive, limiting portability as they often require biometric scans and are not easily transferable between client devices.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for establishing a trusted relationship between a client device and a host device, allowing the forwarding of display data from a remote session, filtering out local GUI data, and enabling secure authentication and session portability through wireless communication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional authentication mechanisms (biometric scans, security modules) are used, then security is improved, but device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication securityVSAvoidauthentication system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a trusted relationship module as an intermediary that mediates authentication between client and server devices. Instead of requiring complex biometric hardware, the system establishes cryptographic trust relationships that enable secure authentication through software-based trust verification, reducing hardware complexity while maintaining security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces mechanical/biometric authentication systems with a software-based cryptographic trust verification system. The trusted relationship module uses digital signatures and cryptographic protocols to verify device identity and establish secure channels, eliminating the need for physical biometric scanners and security modules

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If biometric authentication is implemented, then authentication security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication securityVSAvoiduser authentication convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service authentication where devices automatically present and verify their trusted relationships without requiring user intervention. The trusted relationship module handles authentication autonomously using pre-established cryptographic credentials, eliminating the need for users to perform biometric scans or enter passwords manually

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If remote session data is forwarded to host device, then user experience is improved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and separates display data from local GUI data by implementing a selective forwarding mechanism. The trusted relationship module identifies and forwards only the necessary remote session display data to the host device while filtering out local GUI elements, reducing unnecessary data processing complexity while maintaining enhanced user experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Examples of systems and methods are provided for communication and for forwarding display data and cursor type related to a remote session between a client device and a remote server. The system may facilitate establishing the remote session with the remote server. After the client device is connected to a remote session, it is determined if the style of the client device's cursor should be changed. The RDP client of the remote server creates the changed cursor based on bitmap details. The change cursor may be a 1-bit or 32-bit cursor. When the remote session is disconnected, the default cursor for the client device is re-instated at the client device.
