Abstract

Systems and methods for pixel streaming a stream-enabled application to a client device that is executed on an intermediary client device virtualization system. Portions of a stream-enabled application are used to begin execution of the stream-enabled application on the client device virtualization system. The output of the beginning of execution of the stream-enabled application are used to generate a pixel based stream-enabled application stream. The pixel-based stream-enabled application stream is sent to the client device. User interactions in response to the display of the stream are represented in user interaction data. The user interaction is determined from the user interaction data and application execution commands are determined based on the determined user interaction. Continued execution of the stream-enabled application occurs based on the application execution commands. The pixel-based stream-enabled application stream is modified according to the continued execution of the stream-enabled application.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving portions of a stream-enabled application, at a client device virtualization system;

beginning execution the stream-enabled application at the client device virtualization system;

generating a pixel-based stream-enabled application stream based on a beginning output of the beginning execution of the stream-enabled application;

sending the pixel-based stream-enabled application stream to a client device;

receiving user interaction data based on a user of the client device interacting with a display of the pixel-based stream-enabled application stream;

determining a user interaction from the user interaction data;

determining application execution commands based on the determined user interaction;

continuing execution of the stream-enabled application at the client device virtualization system based on the determined application execution commands;

modifying the pixel-based stream-enabled application stream based on a continued output of the continuing execution of the stream-enabled application;

sending the modified pixel-based stream-enabled application stream to a client device.

2. A system comprising:

means for receiving portions of a stream-enabled application, at a client device virtualization system;

means for beginning execution the stream-enabled application at the client device virtualization system;

means for generating a pixel-based stream-enabled application stream based on a beginning output of the beginning execution of the stream-enabled application;

means for sending the pixel-based stream-enabled application stream to a client device;

means for receiving user interaction data based on a user of the client device interacting with a display of the pixel-based stream-enabled application stream;

means for determining a user interaction from the user interaction data;

means for determining application execution commands based on the determined user interaction;

means for continuing execution of the stream-enabled application at the client device virtualization system based on the determined application execution commands;

means for modifying the pixel-based stream-enabled application stream based on a continued output of the continuing execution of the stream-enabled application;

means for sending the pixel-based stream-enabled application stream to a client device.
