Abstract: A method for interacting with location-based applications is provided. In one operation, a plurality of application is stored in a storage device, and each application corresponds to a geographical location. In one operation, a search criterion is received from a client located remotely with respect to a server. In one operation, an application that matches at least one attribute of the search criterion is selected from the storage device. In one operation, the selected application is displayed on an interface of the client, and the selected application is positioned on the interface base on its geographical location. In one operation, instances of the selected application are initiated on the server. In one operation, the instances of the selected application on the server are coupled with the client to enable user interaction with the selected application via the interface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for advertising apps. The method may include the steps of providing a first part of a user interface on a first client for setting an app to be advertised, providing an app stream of the app on a second client, and transmitting a coordinate when/after the app stream is operated on the second client, and displaying a reply of the app stream on at least one of the first client, the second client and a third client.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for advertising apps. The method may include the steps of providing a first part of a user interface on a first client for setting an app to be advertised, providing a second part of the user interface to display an app stream of the app, wherein the second part of the user interface is capable of being operated to generate an input event to the app, and transmitting a coordinate of the second part of the user interface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of configuring an interactive region on a screen output displayed on a client, wherein the screen output may be generated by an app executed on a server and may be streamed from the server to the client. The method may include the steps of receiving a coordinate and a hardware setting from the server, configuring the screen output at a point corresponding to the coordinate to form the interactive region on the screen output, dispatching a function corresponding to the hardware setting to the interactive region, and performing the function when the interactive region is acted.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for searching software applications, including mobile applications (apps) and web apps/extensions/plug-ins (applications). The method comprises the steps of; executing at least one app or application, collection application data from the app or application, storing the collected application data, receiving a query, searching the stored application data, and transmitting information regarding apps or applications whose corresponding stored application is relevant to the query.

Abstract: A method for searching for software applications (or apps) is provided. In the method, one or more software applications are scheduled for execution according to a scheduling policy. The software applications are executed according to the scheduling policy. Application data of the software applications is collected. The collected application data is stored. A query is received. The stored application data is searched. Information regarding software applications whose corresponding stored application data relevant to the query is transmitted.
