A method and system for transferring a computer session between devices, such as a land-line device to a wireless device. A user launches a computer session on a first device, such as a personal computer. The user may then selectively transfer the computer session to another device, such as a wireless device, through activation of a triggering signal or other transfer request means. In response, the context of the computer session is determined as it is being performed on the first device, and corresponding context data is transferred to the second device. An applicable application on the second device is opened and loaded with applicable context data to continue the session. Several session transfer mechanisms, including use of an online service, proxy mechanisms, and peer-to-peer communication links, are disclosed.

Methods and apparatus for transferring a communication and computer session between devices. A user launches a communication session on a first device, such as a personal computer. The user may then selectively transfer the communication session to another device, such as a wireless device, through activation of a triggering signal. In response, the context of the communication session is determined as it is being performed on the first device, including a type of the communication session. The communication session is then transferred to the second device by launching a new communication session on the second device and transferring the context of the communication session corresponding to the first device to the new communication session on the second device. The communications session is continued via use of the first device as a proxy for the second device.

A system and method of managing computer sessions are provided. The preferred method opens a session (such as for access to a database) and creates a token that includes a session opening time and a measure of the session duration. If the token is used within a predefined time window before the end of the session, the session is extended by updating the token to reflect a new session duration. The time window and duration of a session extension may be adjusted according to usage patterns of the system. The session may be extended recursively. The token expires when the last of the session extensions expires.

According to one aspect of the invention, authorization events trigger authentication requests for a user during the course of a computer session. In one example an authorization event trigger occurs as a user navigates through a web interface. In one embodiment, a user authenticates him or herself to enter a secure site. During the course of navigation through the secure site, authentication events are triggered. Authorization events occur when, for example, the user wishes to perform some action associated with the secure site or provide comment on information obtained from the secure site or obtain information from the secure site. The act of submitting or taking some action comprises a triggering event. In response to a triggered authorization request, a system related to the secure site (or the same system) generates authentication information, in one example, as a one-time password (OTP) that is transmitted to the user. The hardware / software necessary to accomplish the generation of a secure OTP resides with the provider hosting the secure site, although one should appreciate that the OTP generation may be delegated to another site or received as a service from a third party. In one embodiment, the user receives the OTP in the form a page to a pager. With respect to the medical field, a physician may be required to maintain a pager and liability can result from its loss or absence. In one example, such a requirement can be leveraged to provide additional layers of security where patient data is accessible over networks, and in one example over the Internet. Authorization event triggers are also used in conjunction with a system that does not require an authenticated user before reaching the authorization event triggers. Such environments can include a medical services / treatment environment, a financial services environment, and an information brokerage service environment.

A type of input stored by a packet in a recorded session is identified, said recorded session comprising a plurality of packets representing display data generated by an application program. The packet is marked responsive to the type of input. A destination for rendering the contents of the packet is stored in a playback data structure, responsive to the marking.

A protocol engine executing on a first device receives a recorded stream comprising a plurality of packets representing display data generated by an application program executed on a second device. The protocol engine determines for a packet in the recorded stream, to render the contents of the packet in a human-perceptible manner.

A secure authentication method allowing a user to automatically switch between a web application running on a desktop computer and a mobile device is disclosed. The system includes a communications channel using a Quick Response or “QR” code to securely encode login credentials that may be captured by a mobile device for validation by a web application server. Once validated, a browser on the mobile device is redirected to a webpage displaying the last known workspace session in the web application, thereby allowing the user to resume their workplace session in an uninterrupted manner.

A video data recoding method suitable for recording computer sessions. Each video image frame is divided into multiple blocks. A server processes the video frames and transmits only changed blocks for each frame to a video log server. The video log server stores the changed blocks with block indices in a data file. The video log server also maintains a virtual frame table which stores, for each block of the frame, the data location within the data file where the most recent occurrence of that block is stored. The virtual frame table is continuously updated as changed blocks are stored in the data file. The video log server further stores a snapshot file containing snapshots of the virtual frame table at predetermined time points, along with time stamps and a next changed frame location. The data file and the snapshot file are used to reproduce the video images.
