System for managing notification sounds in remote desktop sessions
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240036807A1) describes a computing system that includes a virtual server providing a remote desktop session with a remote volume mixer and sound controller, along with a client computing device offering a local desktop session with a local volume mixer and sound controller. The system allows for the interception and management of notification sounds generated by both remote and local apps to prevent duplicated app notification sounds. The client computing device is configured to determine which notification sound to mute based on predetermined criteria, such as identifying active and inactive app sessions or determining which app triggered the notification sound first.
Furthermore, the patent details how the client computing device can include a user interface for users to manually select which apps to mute when the same app is launched in both local and remote desktop sessions. Additionally, the system can verify if the local and remote apps were launched using the same user account login before applying the muting criteria. The patent also outlines a method for providing a local and remote desktop session, launching apps in both environments, and managing notification sounds to avoid duplication. The method includes determining active and inactive app sessions and muting notification sounds based on the order in which they were triggered. Overall, the patent aims to streamline the user experience by intelligently managing notification sounds in a multi-environment computing system.
