Dynamic session transformation

An information handling system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:
• establish a remote terminal session of a remote desktop connection with a remote host, wherein the remote desktop connection comprises one or more dynamic virtual channels for communicating dynamic display control communications to and from the remote host, and wherein establishing a remote terminal session comprises communicating with the remote host using a remote desktop protocol;
• receive from one or more sensors an indication that the information handling system has been rotated to a new orientation;
• send to the remote host, via one of the dynamic virtual channels, information associated with the new orientation, wherein the information comprises at least one of a) height, width and dots per square inch of a display of the computing device or b) one or more coordinates, and wherein the sending the information associated with the new orientation to the remote host is implemented automatically and without disconnecting the remote terminal session and starting a new remote terminal session;
• receive from the remote host graphical data, wherein the graphical data is based at least in part on the information associated with the new orientation;
• and
• provide for display the graphical data.

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

• establish a remote terminal session of a remote desktop connection with a remote host, wherein the remote desktop connection comprises one or more dynamic virtual channels for communicating dynamic display control communications to and from the remote host, and wherein the establishing comprises communicating with the remote host using a remote desktop protocol;
• receive from one or more sensors of a computing device an indication that the computing device has been rotated to a new orientation;
• send to the remote host, via one of the dynamic virtual channels, information associated with the new orientation, wherein the information comprises at least one of a) height, width and dots per square inch of a display of the computing device or b) one or more coordinates, and wherein the sending the information associated with the new orientation to the remote host is implemented automatically and without disconnecting the remote terminal session and starting a new remote terminal session;
• receive from the remote host graphical data, wherein the graphical data is based at least in part on the information associated with the new orientation;
• and
• provide for display the graphical data.
