Abstract: The present invention includes various embodiments of a mobile app remote virtualization system and process that enables users of remote client devices to control mobile apps running in a host server environment. The resulting user experience is practically equivalent to running native mobile apps, even when such mobile apps require access to local client device resources, as well as when native versions of such mobile apps do not exist for the user's client device. The functionality afforded by the mobile app remote virtualization system and process of the present invention enables a variety of novel scenarios and “use cases” that have not previously been available to mobile device users. One such use case involves encouraging users to click-thru interactive advertisements by displaying a transformed (e.g., blurred) version of the ad target in the background, and overlaying the interactive ad components that comprise the ad preroll.
