Interactive remote windows between applications operating within heterogeneous operating systems on mobile and stationary devices

摘要

A method of operating, from a stationary device, an application that is running on a mobile device is disclosed. The method includes causing the stationary device to open a window that will display content of an application running on the mobile device, sending the content from the application running on the mobile device to the stationary device, receiving operation commands for the application running on the mobile device from the stationary device, the operation commands being operable to cause actions to be executed by the application running on the mobile device, and sending new content from the application running on the mobile device to the stationary device, the new content resulting from the operation commands having been executed by the application running on the mobile device. The mobile device has a first operating system and the stationary device has a second operating system different from the first operating system.

1. A method of operating, from a stationary device, an application that is running on a mobile device, the method comprising:
communicatively pairing a mobile device with a stationary device; causing the stationary device to open a window that will display content of an application running on the mobile device; sending the content from the application running on the mobile device to the stationary device; receiving operation commands for the application running on the mobile device from the stationary device, the operation commands being operable to cause actions to be executed by the application running on the mobile device; sending new content from the application running on the mobile device to the stationary device, the new content resulting from the operation commands having been executed by the application running on the mobile device; periodically receiving an acknowledgement message from the stationary device; and determining that the stationary device can no longer communicate with the mobile device when the acknowledgement message from the stationary device is not received after a predetermined period of time and ceasing to send any additional content to the stationary device, wherein the mobile device has a first operating system and the stationary device has a second operating system, and the first operating system and the second operating system are different from one another.
