Abstract
A system, game server, terminal, and method incorporate the native applications of a gaming device into the gaming application, thereby creating immersion games that are linked with the user'"'"'s daily life. Instead of starting the game to play and stopping the game when done playing, the game can run on the gaming device in the background and become a part of the user'"'"'s day-to-day activities. As the gaming application is executing in the background, the gaming application detects the activation of a native application. The gaming application then generates a modified input to the native application, such that the modified input causes the native application to present a modified output to the user via an output element. The modified input may be generated by modifying or replacing the standard input from a native device to the native application. The modified input corresponds to the gaming application executing on the gaming device.
