Solution Overview

Problem

Virtual desktop technologies are not suitable for multi-user interaction scenarios, resulting in poor user experience due to independent desktop control.

Innovation Solution

Establishing a virtual desktop control group, where a control desktop can deliver images and operation rights to controlled desktop group members, enabling coordinated image display and interaction across multiple virtual desktops.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If independent desktop control is used, then desktop management is simple, but multi-user interaction capability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemulti-user interaction capabilityVSAvoiddesktop control structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the virtual desktop system into control desktops and controlled desktops, creating a hierarchical structure where control desktops manage multiple controlled desktops. This segmentation enables multi-user interaction while maintaining manageable complexity through clear role division.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The control desktop acts as an intermediary between users and controlled desktops, facilitating multi-user interaction. The control desktop receives instructions from users and delivers them to controlled desktops, enabling coordinated interaction without requiring direct peer-to-peer communication between all users.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If desktop images are delivered to multiple controlled desktops, then interaction efficiency is improved, but network bandwidth consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinteraction efficiencyVSAvoidnetwork bandwidth consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing desktop images at the control desktop before delivery. Images are captured and prepared in advance, allowing for optimized delivery to multiple controlled desktops, reducing redundant processing and network bandwidth consumption during actual interaction.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses image copying mechanisms where the control desktop captures desktop images and delivers copies to controlled desktops. This copying approach enables efficient image distribution across multiple users while maintaining the original desktop state, improving interaction efficiency without requiring complex real-time synchronization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A virtual desktop processing method and device, and a virtual desktop server (60), herein the method includes: establishing a virtual desktop control group, herein the virtual desktop control group includes a control desktop and one or more controlled desktop group members (S102); receiving an instruction for delivering a predetermined image to the one or more controlled desktop group members from the control desktop (S104); and delivering the predetermined image to the one or more controlled desktop group members according to the instruction (S106). By adopting the method, the problems that the virtual desktop is not suitable for scenarios that multi-user interacts to use and the user experience is poor since desktops are independently controlled in the related art are solved, such that one virtual desktop can display the predetermined image to one or more virtual desktops and the demands of specific scenarios on the virtual desktops are satisfied.
