Virtual Desktop System with Domain Managing Device for Mobile Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing virtual desktop systems lack efficient methods for users to seamlessly access and manage virtual desktops across different platforms and networks, particularly for mobile working scenarios, where compatibility and data persistence are concerns.
Innovation Solution
A virtual desktop system comprising a thin client, a virtual desktop managing device, and a virtualization server that enables users to log into either privately-owned or publicly-owned virtual desktops through network communication, with the virtualization server managing virtual machine assignments and configurations, allowing for secure, persistent, and flexible access to virtual desktops using Android terminals and supporting various operating systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users access virtual desktops through network communication from mobile devices, then mobile working convenience is improved, but network dependency and connection stability issues arise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a domain managing device as an intermediary between the thin client and virtualization server. This mediator manages domain accounts, authenticates users, and coordinates virtual desktop assignments, thereby stabilizing the network communication framework and improving connection reliability while maintaining mobile access convenience
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system supports both privately-owned and publicly-owned virtual desktop pools, then user flexibility and choice are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the virtual desktop pool into two distinct types: privately-owned virtual desktops and publicly-owned virtual desktops. Each type has its own management and assignment rules. The domain managing device handles different authentication and assignment logic for each pool type, making the complexity manageable while providing users with flexible choices
3Productivity
If the virtualization server manages multiple virtual machines and user sessions, then resource utilization and productivity are improved, but session management complexity and data security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the domain managing device continuously monitors user sessions, authentication status, and virtual desktop assignment states. Based on this feedback, the system dynamically manages session lifecycles, handles reconnections, and ensures proper resource allocation, thereby managing session complexity while maintaining high productivity
Data Source
AI summary
A virtual desktop system includes a thin client, a virtual desktop managing device, a domain managing device, and a virtualization server. The virtualization server includes at least one virtual machine and virtual desktop. The thin client receives input from a user, and communicates with the virtual desktop managing device by network. The virtual desktop managing device communicates with the domain managing device and virtualization server by network. The domain managing device verifies a domain account of the user according to the inputted information and returns a verification or non-verification to the virtual desktop managing device. The virtual desktop managing device obtains an internet protocol (IP) address of the virtual machine from the virtualization server and returns such IP address to the thin client to enable log-in. A virtual desktop control method is also provided.
