Dynamic Determination of Local and Remote API Calls

A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program which, when executed by at least one processing unit of a first device, dynamically determines whether to execute a function locally or remotely, the program comprising sets of instructions for:

• while the program is operating, identifying a set of conditions the evaluation of which dynamically determines whether to (i) direct a second device to remotely process a function or (ii) locally process the function on the first device;
• evaluating the identified set of conditions on the first device;
• when the evaluation of the set of conditions corresponds to remote processing of the function, directing the second device to process the function and return a response to the first device;
• and
• when the evaluation of the set of conditions corresponds to local processing of the function, processing the function on the first device.
