Remote peripheral controller

摘要

A system and method for remote peripheral control are presented. Network access protocols are detected for accessing a network from a server device. An application program is activated on the server device in response to an application activation command from a peripheral device. The application program is interfaced with server application commands from the peripheral device using the network access protocols. A remote server interface control module is interfaced with the server device via the network access protocols. The application program on the server device is activated with the application activation command. The application program is controlled with the server application commands using the network access protocols, and a custom user interface configured to the application program is provided for a user to control the application program without configuring network access to the server device.

1. A system, comprising:
a server device, comprising a remote server interface control module that is configured to:
receive a first application activation command from a peripheral device;after receiving the first application activation command, activate a first application program on the server device; andstart a remote desktop as an interface to the first application program; and the peripheral device, comprising a customized server device interface module that is configured to:receive an indication that a first activation tab of the peripheral device has been activated, wherein the peripheral device is further configured to provide a plurality of activation tabs that comprise the first activation tab, and wherein each activation tab of the plurality of activation tabs is associated with an application program of a plurality of application programs that comprise the first application program;after receiving the indication that the first activation tab has been activated, send the first application activation command to the server device;after sending the first application activation command, connect to the remote desktop of the server device;load a custom user interface to the first application program from a database of the peripheral device, wherein the custom user interface is configured to change the interface to the first application program provided by the remote desktop; andprovide the custom user interface to control the first application program.
