  • Patent number: 10635460
    Abstract: Systems and methods using one or more processors of a user electronic device for receiving user interactions and sending data related to those user interactions to another device. This may include receiving input comprising an interaction with the user device, identifying an application installed on the user device to which the interaction is directed to, and sending data over a network comprising an indication of a model of the user device, an identifier of the application, and an indication of the interaction. Sending the data may initiate one of a video playback, a tutorial, a demonstration, or a simulation, based on the data, on a device different than the user device. In some arrangements, the interaction is directed to a process running on the user device instead of an application.
