Presenting execution of a remote application in a mobile device native format

A mobile device comprising:

• one or more user interfaces for receiving input from a user;
• a network interface for communicating with a remote computing device;
• and
• one or more processors configured to issue, via the network interface, a request to access a resource maintained by the remote computing device, wherein the request causes the remote computing device to execute an application to access the resource, receive, via the network interface, information corresponding to graphical output resulting from execution of the application to access the resource from the remote computing device, wherein the graphical output corresponds to a format specific to the remote computing device, present a graphical representation of the received information in an output format optimized for the mobile device, receive an input command, via one of the user interfaces, in an input format specific to the mobile device, wherein the input command comprises a command for interacting with the application, translate the input command to a format specific to the application executed by the remote computing device, and send, via the network interface, the translated command to the remote computing device.

A system comprising:

• a remote computing device configured to maintain one or more resources and to execute applications for accessing the resources;
• and
• a mobile device configured to issue a request to access one of the resources maintained by the remote computing device, wherein the request causes the remote computing device to execute one of the applications to access the resource, receive information corresponding to graphical output resulting from execution of the one of the applications to access the resource from the remote computing device, wherein the graphical output corresponds to a format specific to the remote computing device, present a graphical representation of the received information in an output format optimized for the mobile device, receive an input command in an input format specific to the mobile device, wherein the input command comprises a command for interacting with the one of the applications, translate the input command to a format specific to the one of the applications executed by the remote computing device, and send the translated command to the remote computing device,
• wherein the remote computing device is configured to perform the translated command during execution of the one of the applications.

A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor of a mobile device to:

• issue a request to access a resource maintained by a remote computing device, wherein the request causes the remote computing device to execute an application to access the resource;
• receive information corresponding to graphical output resulting from execution of the application to access the resource from the remote computing device, wherein the graphical output corresponds to a format specific to the remote computing device;
• present a graphical representation of the received information in an output format optimized for the mobile device;
• receive an input command in an input format specific to the mobile device, wherein the input command comprises a command for interacting with the application;
• translate the input command to a format specific to the application executed by the remote computing device;
• and
• send the translated command to the remote computing device.
