Abstract
The time required to login to a remote or virtual desktop can be reduced by caching image data in a persistent memory location of a client device in-between remote desktop sessions. For instance, image data related to an image displayed on the client device during a first virtual desktop session may be cached after terminating the first virtual desktop session. The cached data can then be used to display the same image, or a correlated image, on the client device during a subsequent remote desktop session, thereby avoiding the need to re-transport the image data over a network.
Claims20
A method for providing remote desktop services, the method comprising:
- displaying a first image on a client device during a first remote desktop session, wherein the first remote desktop session corresponds to a service provided by a remote server over a network;
- caching data for the first image in a persistent storage location on the client device;
- and
- using the cached data to display a second image on the client device during a second remote desktop session, the second image being at least partially correlated with the first image, wherein the first remote desktop session is closed before the second remote desktop session is established, and
- wherein the cached data remains stored in the persistent storage location of the client device between closing of the first remote desktop session and establishment of the second remote desktop session.
A client device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the processor, the programming including instructions to:
- display a first image on a client device during a first remote desktop session, wherein the first remote desktop session corresponds to a service provided by a remote server over a network;
- cache data for the first image in a persistent storage location on the client device;
- and
- use the cached data to display a second image on the client device during a second remote desktop session, the second image being at least partially correlated with the first image, wherein the first remote desktop session is closed before the second remote desktop session is established, and
- wherein the cached data remains stored in the persistent storage location of the client device between closing of the first remote desktop session and establishment of the second remote desktop session.
