US 2014/0237296 A1 · ARCHITECTURE FOR REMOTE ACCESS TO CONTENT STATE

Abstract

Features are disclosed for facilitating remote access to the state of an application or content item currently executing or rendered on a user computing device. A connection between the user computing device and another computing device (or connections between the user computing device and an intermediary system, and between another computing device and the same intermediary system) may be established according to a bidirectional communication protocol. The user computing device may receive and act on communications from the other computing device, including requests for data regarding the current state of an application or content page on the user computing device, instructions to execute some function in the application or content page, etc. In addition, user computing devices may be grouped such that an application or content may be monitored/tested/debugged among a variety of user computing devices.

Dependent claims

A system for debugging content on a remote user computing device, the system comprising:

a data store configured to store computer-executable instructions;
and
a computing device in communication with the data store, the computing device, when executing the computer-executable instructions, configured to:
transmit, to a remote user computing device, a code file comprising:
an instruction to establish, using a bidirectional communication protocol, a connection with an intermediary system;
and
one or more routines for accessing a current state of a content page rendered on the remote user computing device;
establish, using the bidirectional communication protocol, a connection with the intermediary system;
transmit, to the remote user computing device via the intermediary system, a debugging instruction to be processed by at least one of the one or more routines;
and
receive, from the remote user computing device via the intermediary system, a response regarding the current state of the content page after processing the debugging instruction.
