Abstract

An app store can have a multiuser streaming app. A thin front end appears on the user devices and the rest of the app instances run in virtual machines in a data center of the app store. A web page at an URL Phi can contain a linket Theta. Phi is seen in a mobile browser. If Theta is picked, the mobile device sends Theta and Phi to the Registry. The Registry logs both. Future analysis of the log tells where (Phi) the linket appeared. A bidirectional capability. The app server for the linket can also get Phi, and use the pair for similar analysis. An ad server which made an ad containing Theta, which appeared in Phi, can analyse the log to measure the efficacy of posting the ad to Theta. Phi can also be an app.
