AUTOMATED MANAGING OF UPDATES FOR REMOTE DESKTOP EXPERIENCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17986513 titled 'AUTOMATED MANAGING OF UPDATES FOR REMOTE DESKTOP EXPERIENCE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application abstract describes a system that automatically triggers compatibility updates between a virtual machine and a client machine to ensure smooth operation of a particular application within a virtual session.

• The system determines compatibility between components of the virtual and client machines for a specific application before launching it in the virtual session.
• Compatibility updates are automatically triggered in response to detected compatibility issues.
• The updates can include updating application components in the virtual machine or optimization components in the client machine.
• If the updates do not complete before the application is launched, the new/updated components are not used during the session.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in virtual desktop environments, cloud computing services, and remote collaboration tools.

Problems Solved

This system solves the problem of compatibility issues between virtual and client machines when running specific applications, ensuring a seamless user experience.

Benefits

The automatic triggering of compatibility updates streamlines the process for users, reducing the risk of errors and improving overall system performance.

Potential Commercial Applications

Commercial applications for this technology include virtualization software, cloud service providers, and remote desktop solutions.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be systems that manually update components for compatibility in virtual environments, lacking the automatic triggering feature described in this patent application.

How does the system prioritize which components to update first in case of multiple compatibility issues?

The system may prioritize updates based on the criticality of the components for the specific application being launched.

Are there any limitations to the types of applications that can benefit from this automatic compatibility update system?

The system may have limitations with highly specialized or custom applications that require unique configurations not covered by the automatic update process.

Original Abstract Submitted

In response to a request to launch a virtual session between a virtual machine and a client machine, a determination is made regarding compatibility of corresponding components of the client and virtual machines for a particular application, and prior to the particular application being launched within the virtual session. Compatibility updates are automatically triggered responsive to detected compatibility problems. The triggered compatibility updates comprise at least one of: (i) an update at the virtual machine of an application component of the virtual machine or (ii) an update at the client machine of an optimization component of the client machine. When the triggered compatibility update does not successfully complete prior to the application being launched within the virtual session, the client and virtual machines refrain from using any of the new/updated components during the virtual session that successfully complete after the application is launched within the virtual session.
