Systems and methods of enabling fast user access to remote desktops

A system, comprising:

• a display;
• a memory;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to execute program instructions out of the memory to:
• determine progress of execution of an application on the remote computer;
• in response to determining the progress of execution of the application, send, to a user device, a packet containing information to establish a connection to provide viewable access to a desktop computing environment of the remote computer via a display of the user device;
• monitor one or more indicators of status within the desktop computing environment of the remote computer;
• determine, in response to a user input, whether to notify the user device of a change in the one or more indicators within the desktop computing environment of the remote computer;
• capture bitmap data corresponding to the one or more indicators within the desktop computing environment of the remote computer;
• and
• compare the captured bitmap data with bitmap data of an image to obtain a similarity percentage between the respective bitmap data.

A computer program product including a set of non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry of a computerized apparatus, cause the processing circuitry to perform a method comprising:

• determining progress of execution of an application on a remote computer;
• in response to determining the progress of execution of the application, sending, to a user device, a packet containing information to establish a connection to provide viewable access to a desktop computing environment of the remote computer via a display of the user device;
• determining, in response to a user input, whether to notify the user device of a change in the one or more indicators within the desktop computing environment of the remote computer;
• wherein determining the progress of execution of the application includes:
• monitoring one or more indicators of status within the desktop computing environment of the remote computer;
• capturing bitmap data corresponding to the one or more indicators within the desktop computing environment of the remote computer;
• and
• comparing the captured bitmap data with bitmap data of an image to obtain a similarity percentage between the respective bitmap data.

A method, comprising:

• determining, in response to a user input, whether to notify a user device of progress of execution of an application on a remote computer;
• in response to determination of the progress of execution of the application, receiving, at the user device, a packet containing information to establish a connection to provide viewable access to a desktop computing environment of the remote computer via a display of the user device;
• determining, in response to a user input, whether to notify the user device of a change in the one or more indicators within the desktop computing environment of the remote computer;
• wherein determining the progress of execution of the application includes:
• monitoring one or more indicators of status within the desktop computing environment of the remote computer;
• capturing bitmap data corresponding to the one or more indicators within the desktop computing environment of the remote computer;
• and
• comparing the captured bitmap data with bitmap data of an image to obtain a similarity percentage between the respective bitmap data.
