Providing to a web-based application access at a hardware level to a peripheral device

摘要

The disclosed subject matter relates to computer implemented methods for providing to a web-based application access at a hardware level to a peripheral device. In one aspect, a method includes establishing a first link between a computing device and a web-based application. The computing device is configured to access the web-based application. The method further includes establishing a second link between the computing device and a peripheral device. The method further includes bridging the first link and the second link to establish a communication channel between the web-based application and the peripheral device. The communication channel is configured to provide to the web-based application access at a hardware level to the peripheral device.

1. A computer-implemented method for providing to a web-based application access at a hardware level to a peripheral device, the method comprising:
establishing a first link between a computing device and a server remote from the computing device, wherein the first link is established when the computing device connects to the server and provides access to a web-based application operating on the server; establishing a second link between the computing device and a peripheral device; and bridging the first link and the second link to establish a communication channel between the web-based application and the peripheral device, wherein the communication channel is configured to provide to the web-based application access at a hardware level to the peripheral device from the server and to provide the peripheral device and the web-based application the ability to send data to and receive data from each other through the computing device without intermediary translation by software installed on the computing device.
