Abstract

In accordance with one disclosed method, a client device may be caused to present a user interface for an application, the user interface enabling selective access to a plurality of resources via the client device. A state of a peripheral device that is connectable to the client device may be determined and, based at least in part on the state of the peripheral device, at least a first resource, from among the plurality of resources, may be identified with which the peripheral device can interact. Based at least in part on the identifying of the first resource, the user interface may be caused to include at least a first selectable user interface element that, when selected, causes the client device to access to the first resource so as to enable the peripheral device to interact with the first resource.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
causing a client device to present a user interface for a first application, the user interface enabling selective access to a plurality of accessible applications via the client device; and
in response to detecting a state change of a peripheral device that is connectable to the client device:
determining that, as a result of the state change, the peripheral device can be used to interact with at least a second application included among the plurality of accessible applications, and
causing, based at least in part on the determining that the peripheral device can be used to interact with the second application, the user interface to include at least a first selectable user interface element that, when selected, causes the second application to be launched so as to enable the peripheral device to interact with the second application.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting the state change of the peripheral device at least in part by determining that the peripheral device has become connected to the client device.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to detecting selection of the first selectable user interface element:
causing the second application to be launched, and
invoking at least one function of the second application after the second application has been launched.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein invoking the at least one function comprises:
causing the second application to take at least one action with respect to the peripheral device.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to detecting selection of the first selectable user interface element, causing the second application to be launched.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second application comprises a virtualized application configured to be delivered to the client device, and the method further comprises:
delivering the virtualized application to the client device over a network.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting the state change of the peripheral device at least in part by receiving, by a hardware virtual driver configured to emulate the peripheral device, data from the peripheral device.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein:
the second application is a virtualized application configured to interact with the hardware virtual driver.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
in response to detecting selection of the first selectable user interface element, causing the virtualized application to be delivered to the client device such that the peripheral device can interact with the virtualized application via the hardware virtual driver.

10. A system, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one computer-readable medium encoded with instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
cause a client device to present a user interface for a first application, the user interface enabling selective access to a plurality of accessible applications via the client device;
detect a state change of a peripheral device that is connectable to the client device; and
in response to detecting the state change of the peripheral device:
determine that, as a result of the state change, the peripheral device can be used to interact with at least a second application included among the plurality of accessible applications, and
cause, based at least in part on determining that the peripheral device can be used to interact with the second application, the user interface to include at least a first selectable user interface element that, when selected, causes the second application to be launched so as to enable the peripheral device to interact with the second application.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the at least one computer-readable medium is further encoded with additional instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to:
detect the state change of the peripheral device at least on part by determining that the peripheral device has become connected to the client device.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the at least one computer-readable medium is further encoded with additional instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to:
in response to detecting selection of the first selectable user interface element:
cause the second application to be launched, and
invoke at least one function of the second application after the second application has been launched.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the at least one computer-readable medium is further encoded with additional instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to:
invoke the at least one function at least in part by causing the second application to take at least one action with respect to the peripheral device.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the at least one computer-readable medium is further encoded with additional instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to:
in response to detecting selection of the first selectable user interface element, causing the second application to be launched.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the second application comprises a virtualized application configured to be delivered to the client device, and the at least one computer-readable medium is further encoded with additional instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to:
deliver the virtualized application to the client device over a network.

16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the at least one computer-readable medium is further encoded with additional instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to:
detect the state change of the peripheral device at least in part by receiving, by a hardware virtual driver configured to emulate the peripheral device, data from the peripheral device.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein:
the second application is a virtualized application configured to interact with the hardware virtual driver.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the at least one computer-readable medium is further encoded with additional instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to:
in response to detecting selection of the first selectable user interface element, cause the virtualized application to be delivered to the client device such that the peripheral device can interact with the virtualized application via the hardware virtual driver.

19. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions which, when executed by at least one processor of a system, cause the system to:
cause a client device to present a user interface for a first application, the user interface enabling selective access to a plurality of accessible applications via the client device:
detect a state change of a peripheral device that is connectable to the client device; and
in response to detecting the state change of the peripheral device:
determine that, as a result of the state change, the peripheral device can be used to interact with at least a second application included among of the plurality of accessible applications, and
cause, based at least in part on determining that the peripheral device can be used to interact with the second application, the user interface to i
