Many enterprises adopt virtual desktop technology to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) according to the improvement of virtualization technologies that allow one physical machine to run multiple virtual machines. In addition, many cloud based virtual desktop services for common user have been introduced. To support this kind of virtual desktop, remote connection technique is essential. However, current remote connection technique needs a normal computation environment with keyboard, mouse and display. In this paper, we proposed a smartphone based connection broker between remote virtual desktop and local legacy devices. The broker can detect local devices that can be used as a resource of virtual machine such as LCD TV, keyboard and can connect them to remote virtual desktop.
