Patent ID: 8539020

Claim:
A method for enabling a service executing in an isolated session on a system to access a system resource from which the service is isolated, comprising: instantiating a worker session by an operating system operating on the system, the worker session being a separate session from the isolated session and the worker session being a separate session from any user session executing on the system, instantiating the worker session including creating the worker session by a service executing in the isolated session by establishing a loopback remote presentation session connection to the system; instantiating a worker process, the worker process executing in the worker session, the worker process having access to the system resource; receiving by the service, a first communication indicative of a request from a first process to access the system resource; sending, by the service, a second communication indicative of a request to the worker process to access the system resource; in response to receiving, by the worker process, the second communication, accessing the system resource to produce a first result; and transmitting, by the worker process, the first result to the service.
