Server apparatus for provision of at least one graphical user interface to a client apparatus, client apparatus, system, method, computer program, and electronically-readable data medium

A system comprising:

• a server apparatus;
• and
• a client apparatus,
• wherein the server apparatus comprises:
• an application module configured to generate character data for definition of a graphical user interface of an application of the application module and to provide the character data to a display adapter apparatus;
• the display adapter apparatus configured to:
• operate a virtual display entity, in accordance with a display entity configuration, in which a virtual display facility is provided;
• provide the character data for generation of display data for display of the graphical user interface in the virtual display facility of the virtual display entity to a graphics card of the server apparatus;
• and transfer the generated display data to a streaming server facility of the server apparatus;
• and
• the streaming server facility configured to:
• provide a streaming entity assigned to the virtual display facility over a packet-based network to a streaming proxy facility of the client apparatus;
• and transfer the display data in a display data stream via the assigned streaming entity to the streaming proxy facility of the client apparatus;
• and
• wherein the client apparatus comprises:
• the streaming proxy facility configured to receive the display data for display of the graphical user interface in the display data stream via the streaming entity and forward the display data to a display module assigned to a display facility;
• and
• the display module configured to send the display data to the display facility in order to display the graphical user interface on the display facility.

A method for operating a system for transmission of at least one graphical user interface of a server apparatus to a display facility of a client apparatus over a packet-based network, the method comprising:

• providing a virtual display entity in accordance with a display entity configuration by a display adapter apparatus of the server apparatus, in which a virtual display facility is provided;
• providing character data for definition of the graphical user interface of an application of an application module to the display adapter apparatus for the virtual display entity;
• generating, using the character data, display data for display of the graphical user interface to a graphics card of the server apparatus;
• transferring the display data to a streaming server facility of the server apparatus;
• providing a streaming entity assigned to the virtual display facility over the packet-based network to a streaming proxy facility of the client apparatus by the streaming server facility;
• transferring the display data in a display data stream via the assigned streaming entity to the streaming proxy facility of the client apparatus by the streaming server facility;
• receiving the display data stream transferred via the assigned streaming entity by the streaming proxy facility;
• forwarding the display data to a display module of the client apparatus, which is assigned to the display facility;
• and
• transmitting the display data to the display facility by the display module.
