Abstract

A remote browsing process is directed to the generation and management of a remote browse session at a network computing and storage provider. A client computing device loads a local browser process and obtains network content from content providers. The local browser process additionally requests a browse session instance corresponding to the network content at a network computing and storage provider. The network computing and storage provider instantiates a browser process in response to the request. The remote browser process retrieves the network content, and generates a processing result corresponding to a first representation of the network content. The processing result may be provided to the client computing device for display. The local browser process may display either the first representation of the network content corresponding to the processing result or a second representation of the network content processed locally at the client computing device.

Claims24

Dependent claims

A system for remote session browsing comprising:

one or more computer processors of a user computing device;
at least one computer memory accessible by at least one of the one or more computer processors;
and
a browser component comprising an executable software module executed by the one or more computer processors, wherein the browser component is operable to:
provide a request for network content to a network computing component, wherein the request for network content includes an identification of at least one of a network resource and one or more embedded resources, and wherein at least one of the network resource and the one or more embedded resources can be processed with a plurality of processing actions;
obtain a first processing result from the network computing component, wherein the first processing result corresponds to the at least one of the network resource and the one or more embedded resources in which the plurality of processing actions have not been completed;
process the first processing result at the user computing device to generate a local processing result corresponding to completion of at least one of the plurality of processing actions;
obtain a second processing result from the network computing component, wherein the second processing result corresponds to the at least one of the network resource and the one or more embedded resources in which the plurality of processing actions have been completed, and wherein at least a portion of the local processing result is generated by the user computing device in parallel with generation of the second processing result by the network computing component;
determine whether to generate a representation of the at least one of the network resource and the one or more embedded resources based on either the local processing result or the second processing result;
and
cause display of the generated representation at the user computing device.

8 more elements

A method of remote session browsing comprising:

under control of a user computing device configured with specific computer-executable instructions,
providing a request for network content to a network computing component, wherein the network content is processed in accordance with a plurality of processing actions;
obtaining the network content in which at least one of the plurality of processing actions have not been completed;
processing, by a browser component executing on the user computing device, the network content to generate a local processing result corresponding to completion of the plurality of processing actions;
obtaining a network processing result from the network computing component, wherein the network processing result corresponds to a representation of the network content in which the plurality of processing actions have been completed, and wherein at least a portion of the local processing result is generated by the browser component in parallel with generation of the network processing result by the network computing component;
determining, by the browser component, whether to generate a representation of the network content based on either the local processing result or the network processing result;
and
causing display, on the user computing device, of the generated representation.

5 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon for managing remote session browsing, wherein the instructions, when executed by a user computing apparatus, cause the user computing apparatus to:

provide a request for network content to a network computing component, wherein the network content is processed in accordance with a plurality of processing actions;
process the network content, by the user computing apparatus, to generate a local processing result corresponding to completion of the plurality of processing actions;
obtain a network processing result from the network computing component, wherein the network processing result corresponds to a representation of the network content in which the plurality of processing actions have been completed, and wherein at least a portion of the local processing result is generated by the user computing apparatus in parallel with generation of the network processing result by the network computing component;
determine, by the user computing apparatus, whether to generate a representation of the network content based on either the local processing result or the network processing result;
and
cause display, at the user computing apparatus, of the generated representation.
