Method for displaying a remote desktop on a portable touch screen device

摘要

A remote access application queries the client device for its display properties. Using the display properties of the client device and optionally the size of the fingertip of the user, a connection resolution for a remote desktop connection is determined. A remote desktop session is retrieved at the connection resolution and remote pixels are mapped to client pixels at a non-1:1 ratio. Remote desktop is then optionally resized to full screen.
