Abstract

Systems and method for remotely satisfying API requests made by an application executing at a client device. At an accelerated remote operations system server remote from the client device, an intercepted API request of an application executing at the client device is received. At the accelerated remote operations system server, an API response to the API request is determined using an API. The API response is compared to a previously determined API response for the API request to determine if the API response has changed. A response is sent to the client device based on whether the API response has changed and is used to continue execution of the application at the client device.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving from a client device, at an accelerated remote operations system server remote from the client device, an intercepted API request of an application executing at the client device;

determining, at the accelerated remote operations system server, an API response to the API request using an API;

comparing the API response to a previously determined API response for the API request to determine if the API response has changed;

sending a response to the client device, the response based on whether the API response has changed and used to continue execution of the application at the client device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the response sent to the client device includes the API response.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the response sent to the client device includes an unchanging notification.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

retrieving, at the client device, the API response from local storage at the client device;

using the API response to continue execution of the application at the client device.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the API request is intercepted according to remote access rules specifying which API requests to intercept.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the remote access rules are generated based on a previous execution of the application on the client device.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, at the accelerated remoter operation system server, device characteristics data for the client device;

modifying the API request according to the device characteristics to generate a modified API request;

executing the modified API request to determine the API modified response.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving from a second client device, at the accelerated remote operations system server remote from the second client device, an intercepted second API request of a second application executing at the second client device;

modifying either or both the API request and the second API request to distinguish the API request from the second API request.

determining, at the accelerated remote operations system server, a second API response to the second API request;

comparing the second API response to a previously determined second API response for the second API request to determine if the second API response has changed;

sending a second response to the second client device, the second response based on whether the second API response has changed and used to continue execution of the second application at the second client device.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the API request and the second API request are the same.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein modifying either or both the API request and the second API request includes modifying an API call of either or both the API request and the second API request.

11. A system comprising:

a remote response system communication engine, at an accelerated remote operations system server remote from a client device, configured to receive from the client device an intercepted API request of an application executing at the client device;

an API response determination engine, at the accelerated remote operations system server, configured to determine an API response to the API request using an API;

an API response comparison engine, at the accelerated remote operations system server, configured to compare the API response to a previously determined API response for the API request to determine if the API response has changed;

the accelerated remote operations system server configured to send a response to the client device, the response based on whether the API response has changed and used to continue execution of the application at the client device.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the response sent to the client device includes the API response.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the response sent to the client device includes an unchanging notification.

14. The system of claim 13, further comprising:

a data management engine, at the client device, configured to retrieve the API response from local storage at the client device;

an application execution engine, at the client device, configured to use the API response to continue execution of the application at the client device.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein the API request is intercepted according to remote access rules specifying which API requests to intercept.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein the remote access rules are generated based on a previous execution of the application on the client device.

17. The system of claim 11, further comprising:

the remote response system communication engine further configured to receive device characteristics data for the client device;

an API request manipulation engine configured to modify the API request according to the device characteristics to generate a modified API request;

the API response determination engine further configured to execute the modified API request to determine the API modified response.

18. The system of claim 11, further comprising:

the remote response system communication engine further configured to receive from a second client device an intercepted second API request of a second application executing at the second client device;

an API request manipulation engine configured to modify either or both the API request and the second API request to distinguish the API request from the second API request.

the API response determination engine further configured to determine a second API response to the second API request;

the API response comparison engine further configured to compare the second API response to a previously determined second API response for the second API request to determine if the second API response has changed;

the accelerated remote operations system server further configured to send a second response to the second client device, the second response based on whether the second API response has changed and used to continue execution of the second application at the second client device.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the API request and the second API request are the same.

20. A system comprising:

means for receiving from a client device, at an accelerated remote operations system server remote from the client device, an intercepted API request of an application executing at the client device;

means for determining, at the accelerated remote operations system server, an API response to the API request using an API;

means for comparing the API response to a previously determined API response for the API request to determine if the API response has changed;

means for sending a response to the client device, the response based on whether the API response has changed and used to continue execution of the application at the client device.
