Zero footprint application virtualization

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for delivering an interactively updated application to a browser without requiring end users to install software locally are provided. Browser capabilities are detected. Bi-directional communication is established between a browser and server based on the capabilities. Representations of images are streamed to the browser. Human input device events associated with the representations are received. The representations are interactively updated.

主权项

1. One or more non-transitory computer storage media (the “media”) storing computer-useable instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform a method for interactively updating a representation of an image, the method comprising:
attempting, by a server via a first communication protocol, a first connection with a browser; when the first connection via the first communication protocol is successful, establishing a bi-directional communication between the browser and the server via the first communication protocol; when the first connection via the first communication protocol is unsuccessful, establishing the bi-directional communication between the browser and the server via a second communication protocol; streaming a representation of an application to the browser, the representation comprising a plurality of encoded tiles, wherein the representation is streamed in a format corresponding to the established bi-directional communication, and that allows the representation to be rendered without requiring installation of any additional software or codecs; receiving, via the browser, a human input device (HID) event associated with the representation; and interactively updating at least one encoded tile of the plurality of encoded tiles of the representation.
