Method and device for displaying, on a local terminal, an application executed on a remote server by means of a remote office protocol

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform steps comprising:

• displaying a graphic object, generated by a remote server, on a local terminal in a local window displayed on a display device of the local terminal, the local terminal communicating with the remote server by way of a proxy gateway for a remote desktop protocol, the proxy gateway establishing a connection between the local terminal and the remote server, the connection having a primary remote-application connection established between the local terminal and the proxy gateway according to the remote desktop protocol, and a secondary connection established between the proxy gateway and the remote server according to the remote desktop protocol,
• the remote desktop protocol providing:
• in the case of a desktop connection, generation, by a remote server, of data intended for the client terminal and comprising coordinates relating to an origin point of a local window,
• in the case of a remote-application connection, generation, by a remote server, of data intended for the client terminal and comprising absolute coordinates relating to a fixed point of a display of the local terminal;
• and
• detecting the type of secondary connection, and, when the detected type is a desktop connection, a step, implemented by the proxy gateway, of transforming data, which comprise the relative coordinates, originate from the remote server and relate to a local desktop window, into data that comprise the absolute coordinates, intended for the local terminal and relate to a local application window.

A proxy gateway for the remote desktop protocol, including a computation unit storing instructions that, when executed by the computation unit, carry out a method comprising:

• displaying a graphic object, generated by a remote server, on a local terminal in a local window displayed on a display device of the local terminal, the local terminal communicating with the remote server by way of a proxy gateway for a remote desktop protocol, the proxy gateway establishing a connection between the local terminal and the remote server, the connection having a primary remote-application connection established between the local terminal and the proxy gateway according to the remote desktop protocol, and a secondary connection established between the proxy gateway and the remote server according to the remote desktop protocol,
• the remote desktop protocol providing:
• in the case of a desktop connection, generation, by a remote server, of data intended for the client terminal and comprising coordinates relating to an origin point of a local window,
• in the case of a remote-application connection, generation, by a remote server, of data intended for the client terminal and comprising absolute coordinates relating to a fixed point of a display of the local terminal;
• and
• detecting the type of secondary connection, and, when the detected type is a desktop connection, a step, implemented by the proxy gateway, of transforming data, which comprise the relative coordinates, originate from the remote server and relate to a local desktop window, into data that comprise the absolute coordinates, intended for the local terminal and relate to a local application window.
