COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT

摘要

Systems and methods for managing communication between a server and peripheral devices associated with at least one client deployed with an airport environment so that a virtualised application running on the server can be connected with at least one of the peripheral devices. A communications link is established between the server and the client associated with the peripheral devices and the application is directed to one of the peripheral devices via a virtual channel established between a server peripheral manager simulator component and a client peripheral manager simulator component and passing through the communications link. The client peripheral manager simulator is associated with a peripheral manager in the client which controls the peripheral devices.

1. A system for operating a peripheral device associated with a client from a server, the system comprising:
a server being configured for running at least one application, the server comprising an application virtualisation platform for virtualising at least one application running thereon; at least one client being configured to be connected to the server via a communications link, each client comprising a client virtualisation platform for interacting with the application virtualisation platform on the server; at least one peripheral device associated with each client; a peripheral manager associated with each client and being configured for controlling each associated peripheral device; and at least one peripheral manager simulator configured to establish a virtual channel through which communication is enabled between at least one application running on the server and at least one peripheral device associated with at least one client.
