  • Patent number: 11403124
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10143924
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9424052
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments that facilitate remote emulation of computing devices. A model of a computing device and an application that is executable in the computing device are identified. The application is executed in a hosted environment. A video signal of the application is encoded into a media stream. A user interface is encoded for rendering in a client. The user interface includes a graphical representation of the model of the computing device. A screen of the graphical representation of the model of the computing device is configured to render at least a portion of the video signal from the media stream.

  • Patent number: 9409090
    Abstract: Past usage of an application is presented in order to enhance the experience of a user with an application. An application is executed in a hosted environment in one or more computing devices. Input commands may be obtained from a client and provided to the application. A real-time state of the application may be recorded as the application is executed in the hosted environment. The real-time state of the application that has been recorded may be replayed.

  • Patent number: 8622839
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for enhancing the experience of a user with an application by presenting past usage of the application. An application is executed in a hosted environment in one or more computing devices. Multiple input commands are obtained from a client, and the input commands are provided to the application. A video signal generated by the application is encoded into real-time content, which is sent to the client. Recorded content from a library of recorded content is sent to the client. Each recorded content presents a past usage of the application.
