<p>The invention relates to a system for transferring from one end-user device to another an entire binary-portable computer software application, including any libraries required by the application and saved application state. The binary-portable nature of the computer software application allows this to happen across dissimilar types of devices, including different CPU types and operating- systems. This enables use-cases which are not typically possible using traditional systems, such as taking an in-progress saved game on one device, transferring the game, libraries and game state to a second device and then continuing to play the game from the same point on the second device, all without any requirement to have a connection to a server to download the necessary libraries or an installation package for the application. This allows off-network distribution of applications and their state, reducing costs for the end-user, reducing network load, and speeding up the transfer of the application.</p> |
