Relocating an application from a device to a server

摘要

Methods are provided for transferring an application to a virtual electronic device. One method may include receiving an application to be relocated from a first local electronic device to a virtual electronic device. The method may further include, establishing a first anchor between the first local electronic device and the relocated application. The first anchor may be adapted to act as a conduit between the first local electronic device and the application. The method may further include, requesting local application data from the first local electronic device via the first anchor in response to an interrupt from the application on the virtual electronic device.

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
establishing a first anchor between a first local electronic device and a server computer,
wherein an anchor is adapted to act as a conduit between a local electronic device and an application that has been relocated to a server computer from the local electronic device, each anchor including a first proxy for the application at the local electronic device, a second proxy for a virtualization-based resource at the server computer, and an application program interface mapper; receiving a first application and check point data for the first application from the first local electronic device via the first anchor by the server computer, wherein the first application is running on the first local electronic device prior to receiving the first application and the checkpoint data is determined prior to receiving the first application, the check point data including data of a state of the application; and subsequent to receiving the first application and check point data:
receiving a first user input from the first local electronic device via the first anchor by the server computer,processing the first user input by the first application at the server computer,generating a first output based on processing the first input, andtransferring the first output from the server computer to the first local electronic device via the first anchor.
