Abstract

An application to execute in a virtual environment on a first device. A router that invokes a service on a local framework or remote framework.

Claims

1. A first device comprising:

an application compatible with a second device;

a virtual environment to run the application on the first device;

a transceiver to communicate with a second device; and

a router to invoke a service request by the application from at least one of a local framework on the first device and a remote framework to run the service on the second device.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the application is transferred from the second device to the first device.

3. The device of claim 1, further comprising a notification service to output an error indication if the local framework was invoked and was not able to provide the service.

4. The device of claim 1, further comprising a setting to configure the router.

5. The device of claim 1, further comprising logic for the second device to run the application.

6. The device of claim 1, further comprising a second application incompatible with the second device and executing on the first device, wherein the router invokes the service using the second application.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the virtual environment is a java script virtual machine to run at least one of a lava script application, a hypertext markup language application, and a CSS application.

8. The device of claim 1, wherein the service is hardware that provides data to the application.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the local framework is determined if the service is available on the first device.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising defining where the service is invoked.

12. The method of claim 1, further comprising notifying that the service is not available.

9. A method of routing a service request comprising:

executing an application within a virtual environment on a first device, wherein the app requests a service;

determining where to invoke the service;

routing the service request to a local framework on the first device if it is determined to invoke the service on the local framework; and

routing the service request to a remoting framework on a second device if it is determined to invoke the service on the second device.

13. A computer readable medium comprising code that if executed causes a processor on a first device to:

execute an application within a virtual environment on a first device;

invoke a service requested by the application;

determine where to invoke the service;

route the service to a local framework on the first device if it is determined to invoke the service on the local framework; and

route the service to a remoting framework on a second device if it is determined to invoke the service on the second device.

14. The computer readable medium of claim 13 further comprising code that if executed causes a processor to:

set where the service is invoked.

15. The computer readable medium of claim 13 further comprising code that if executed causes a processor to:

notify that the service is not available.
