Patent ID: 10958721

Abstract:
A computing system includes a virtual desktop server and a client computing device. The virtual desktop server includes a real-time media application to provide real-time communications (RTC) for peer-to-peer networking, and a native RTC engine to execute a portion of the real-time media application when received by the native RTC engine. An API code redirection module redirects intercepted APIs of the real-time media application so that the portion of the real-time media application is redirected away from the native RTC engine to a client RTC engine in the client computing device. The portion of the real-time media application being redirected includes provisioning information directed to a remote media server. A network location service provides provisioning information directed to a nearby media server. The client RTC engine executes the redirected portion of the real-time media application, and selects the remote media server or the nearby media server based on network proximity to the client computing device.
