Presenting execution of a remote application in a mobile device native format

Abstract

In one example, a mobile device includes one or more processors configured to issue, a request to access a resource maintained by a remote computing device, wherein the request causes the remote computing device to execute an application to access the resource, receive, via the network interface, information corresponding to graphical output resulting from execution of the application, wherein the graphical output corresponds to a format specific to the remote computing device, present a graphical representation of the received information in an output format optimized for the mobile device, receive an input command in an input format specific to the mobile device, wherein the input command comprises a command for interacting with the application, translate the input command to a format specific to the application executed by the remote computing device, and send the translated command to the remote computing device.

         10 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising caching on the mobile device data corresponding to the at least one of the remote resources if it has a higher probability of being selected by the user. 
     
     
         11 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program code for causing a processor to perform the steps of:
 monitoring associated context information associated with a mobile device when the mobile device is accessing remote resources maintained by a remote computing device;   storing the associated context information relative to the remote resources in a data store;   obtaining current context information associated with the mobile device;   determining user likelihood of accessing each of the remote resources based on the current context information and on the associated context information stored in the data store;   presenting on the mobile device a user interface configured to offer access to at least one of the remote resources based on the user likelihood of accessing the at least one of the remote resources, the user interface being generated to provide easier access to the at least one of the remote resources if it has a higher user likelihood of being selected by a user;   receiving, by a mobile device, a user request to access a particular remote resource of the remote resources maintained by a remote computing device;   issuing, by the mobile device to the remote computing device, a device request to access the particular remote resource; and   storing the current context information of the mobile device associated with the particular remote resource in the data store.   
     
     
         12 . The computer-readable storage medium of  claim 11 , wherein the associated context information and the current context information include geographic information.
