PRESENTATION OF COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT ON MULTIPLE DEVICES

摘要

A user may interact with a collection of devices that each exhibit particular device properties. Where each device executes and presents an isolated computing environment, inconsistencies may arise in the user interaction by the user with different devices. Alternatively, a terminal server may present a computing environment to various auxiliary devices, but such presentation may fail to utilize some device properties of some devices, and/or may present a computing environment that is not suitable for some devices. Instead, a primary device of the device collection may adapt a primary computing environment to an auxiliary computing environment for each auxiliary device, based upon its device properties. Upon receiving a request to execute an application, the primary device may execute the application within the auxiliary computing environment, and may adapt the application based upon the device properties. The primary device may stream each auxiliary computing environment to the respective auxiliary device.

1. A method of configuring a primary device comprising a processor to present a primary computing environment to a user through a device collection, the method comprising:
executing, on the processor, instructions that cause the primary device to, for respective auxiliary devices of the device collection:
adapt the primary computing environment according to a set of device properties of the auxiliary device to generate an auxiliary computing environment for the auxiliary device;responsive to receiving a request to instantiate a selected application within the auxiliary computing environment:
adapt the selected application within the auxiliary computing environment according to the device properties of the auxiliary device, andexecute the selected application on behalf of the auxiliary device; andstream a presentation of the auxiliary computing environment to the auxiliary device.
