Patent number: 11403124Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments that facilitate remote emulation of computing devices. A request is received from a client device to evaluate an application without installing the application upon the client device. The application is then executed in a hosted environment, and a video signal from the application is captured. User interface data for a browser executed in the client device is generated. The browser renders the video signal and captures user input relative to the video signal. The user interface data and data encoding the video signal are sent to the client device.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2016Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Adam J. Overton, Bruce J. McKenzie, Ethan Z. Evans, Ian S. W. Cornwall, Michael Anthony Frazzini, Paul A. Ryder

Patent number: 10771565Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments that facilitate sending input commands to an application over a network that may have variable latency characteristics. A first computing device sends a request to initiate a remote session with the application being executed by a second computing device. Upon initiation of the remote session, the first computing device receives application output data associated with the application for display via the first computing device. The first computing device may capture an input command associated with a video frame of the application output data being displayed. The input command is transmitted to the second computing device. To account for latency characteristics associated with the network, the second computing device provides the input command to the application after a delay.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2016Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Adam J. Overton, Brian D. Fisher, Isaac J. Shepard, Jason C. Jenks

Patent number: 10506076Abstract: A remote browsing process is directed to the generation and management of a remote browse session at a network computing provider. A client computing device requests one or more requested network resources. The network computing provider instantiates a browse session instance and retrieves the requested content. The network computing provider provides the requested content to the client computing device. The network computing provider also at least partially processes the requested content for display, and provides a processed representation of the requested content to the client computing device. The client computing device may update display of the requested content using the processed representation of the requested content.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2014Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew L. Trahan, Jonathan A. Jenkins, Brett R. Taylor, Adam J. Overton

Patent number: 10143924Abstract: An application is executed in a hosted environment in one or more computing devices. A user may experience difficulty in the application at a particular point in the application. Input commands may be obtained from a stored past session of the application. The stored past session of the application may correspond include another user successfully completing the particular point in the application. The input commands may be provided to the application to help the user get past the difficulty.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2016Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bruce J.

Patent number: 10116487Abstract: A browsing process is directed to the management of interactions with representations of rendered and unprocessed content. A client computing device requests a first network resource from a network computing component. The network computing component processes the requested content for display, and provides a processing result corresponding to a processed representation of the requested content to the client computing device. The client computing device may send user interaction data based on user interactions with the representation to the network computing component for processing. The client computing device may receive an unprocessed second network resource, and process a user interaction with a representation of the second network resource locally.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2013Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew L. Trahan, Jonathan A. Jenkins, Brett R. Taylor, Adam J. Overton

Patent number: 9705810Abstract: Techniques described herein provide a system and methods for adding latency to improve the perceived performance of computing devices. For instance, the techniques may calculate transaction latencies for a given session based on the time between sending requests for content and receiving the requested content. The calculated latencies may be aggregated or averaged in such a way that a specific latency may be selected for improving the perceived performance. A client device may then render subsequent content based on the selected latency or a server may serve subsequent content based on the selected latency. This artificial addition of latency may enhance the user experience by creating a more consistent environment.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2015Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ethan Z. Evans, Jason Jenks, Adam J. Overton

Patent number: 9454282Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments that facilitate sending input commands to an application over a network that may have variable latency characteristics. An input command may be obtained from a client over a network. The obtained input command is then provided to the application that is executed in a hosted environment. When a delay is determined to be necessary based at least in part on latency characteristic, the input command is provided to the application after the delay.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2014Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Adam J.

Patent number: 9327195Abstract: Disclosed systems and methods facilitate a server-based gaming environment. In one implementation, a method includes transmitting a video stream of a gaming environment and a region definition for an object in the gaming environment to a client device. A result of a comparison of a location of a selection input in the gaming environment to the region definition is received from a client device. The result indicates that the location of the selection input identifies an area within the region definition. The object is selected based on the selection input corresponding to the region definition.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2014Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Adam J.

Publication number: 20160044115Abstract: A browsing process is directed to the generation and management of a browse session at a network computing provider. A client computing device requests a remote browse session instance at a network computing provider. The browse session instance may correspond to requested network content. The network computing provider determines one or more browse configurations. Different browse configurations can be determined for separate portions of the requested network content. The browse configurations may identify a communication protocol and various processing actions. The network computing provider retrieves the requested content through an instantiated network browse session instance, and performs a first set of processing actions to generate a processing result. The processing result may be provided to the client computing device for display, including performing a second set of processing actions on the processing result at the client computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2015Publication date: February 11, 2016Inventors: Peter F.

Patent number: 9069477Abstract: Overall memory requirements are minimized by performing copy on write and collapse on write operations using memory pointers when storing data within memory pages. Multiple memory pointers may refer to a primary page storing a definitive copy of data. When that data is to be modified, a copy on write operation creates a second copy in another memory page which may then be modified and updates memory pointers accordingly. When data within two or more memory pages is identical to data within a primary page, a collapse on write operation updates memory pointers to refer to the primary page and de-allocates the duplicative and now unused memory pages.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2011Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Adam J.
