Apologize if my drawings are little too sophisticated, let me please elaborate the idea from real products.

A similar approach that has recently raised is the Samsung Dex where from a cellphone touch screen you can control a desktop. Like such.

However a more advance used that would make the experience more powerful would be using a real desktop initiative like the alliance with Citrix.

Said this, the modular system of touchpads screens and keyboards I thought could be a future version however a simple idea of this is used by Dex and Citrix with virtualized apps that, as far as I am concern would be inflicting the patent.

My enhancement is to work out the interfaces to control such applications and customize them in different screens. I think that there will be a time when XCP and Xenserver will ultimately include touchpards and virtual keyboards as a way of naturally control the virtualized apps with more natural language like gestures.

Hi I am Jose Vigil, a software developer and entrepreneur from Buenos Aires. I started as a LAN administrator and then moved to development.

From my working experience I am very familiar with some known technologies like VNC, TeamViewer and NX. Also servers like Proliant, AS400 with up to 120 PC in a medical healthcare facility where I implemented PEX and worked with Ghost as well. It was fun, but I moved on.

I started programming after dominating a scripting language for Windows environments called Kickstart in a community I really enjoyed making friends. Then I started coding in Acess and the list continued, havent sopped ever since. Specially cause allows me to be an entrepreneur and move ahead with my ideas. I love to do this.

From an entrepreneur standpoint since 2007 I started playing with technology and came up with ideas for using agnostic screen and interfaces over the different devices (here is my post) . First with FreeNX (partner) and team we build a mouse pointer for Android called PadKite, we forked WebKit which was awesome but we came across OEMs and we crashed. It was a lot of fun to stay up for one day at Hackers News.

After that I focused on gestures and created a mobile API called GestureKit, it was a great experience presenting it at Berkeley University. Met plenty of amazing people at the Valley and continued seeing them. The project was cool but proven that people would not remember gestures in a daily basis usage, it was acceptable to see that no project doing it so took over.

I still think that the time was not proper to advance with such innovation therefore I continue thinking its possible to create a new type of interactive thin client environment with full customization.

I am actually working in my startup, an educational social network for kids AI driven. My goal at this great site and community is to find friend with whom I can share a vision with and play with the technology to create awesome new stuff that can solve problems and ultimately demonstrate a business model. I am now learning AI that keeps me motivated.

Its great to see that this technology is renewed and I am ready to be part of a change with new ideas.

Thanks lot

Hi! Yes of course, I am sharing some patent images and link.

THIN TERMINAL COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE UTILIZING ROAMING KEYBOARD FILES

As you can see it is aimed to be a modular system comprised of three types of modules, screen, touch pad (gestures) and keyboards. To redistributed and height customized for each case. Cases, something to still discover.

Note: The fact that NX is mentioned as a possible technology it is only for the purpose to explain the internal behavior.

Hope you like it.

Dear community,

I am a developer. I am looking for advice in creating a cutting edge project with XCP. The time has come.

Congrats xcp! I think this new generation thin client technology is awesome and is ready for a big step. The proliferation of mobile devices can allow me to think that we can control computers from them.

The idea is to control applications on one screen at one device with via dynamic touchpads (with gestures) and keyboards generated and running on different devices (agnostic) distributed on the same LAN and running an app that connects to XCP as if it were a mouse or keyboard.

The features to append to XCP is to be able to receive mouse cursor coordinates from a virtual touchpad rendered on a remote device, map it from the device acting as touchpad into the server and showing the results of the cursor moving on the client screen like a computer or TV. Using Orchestra this can be possible to create interfaces like web-pages and keyboards that adjust to the type of application with different layouts for different scenarios. The server would be multiplexing the control messages between clients.

This is not a new idea, is something I tried in the part however the technology was not yet there. I fact I patented the idea at the USPTO and was granted (can share). Considering the mobile devices current cost and general IT framework in companies and homes can now be a proper time to start conversations with people who share the vision.

I would like to please ask for feedback and orientation on how to start exchanging with the community to consider the project. How to present it, who to share, interested companies.

Hope I can find friends to work with and rock it.

Thanks very much,
Jose Vigil
