MULTI-OPERATING SYSTEM MOBILE AND OTHER COMPUTING DEVICES WITH PROXY APPLICATIONS RUNNING UNDER A BROWSER

摘要

The invention provides, in some aspects, a computing device that includes a central processing unit that is coupled to a hardware interface and that executes a native operating system including one or more native runtime environments within which native software applications are executing. A first native software application executing within the one or more native runtime environments defines one or more hosted runtime environments within which hosted software applications are executing. One or more further native software applications (“IO proxies”), each executing within the one or more native runtime environments and each corresponding to a respective one of the one or more hosted software applications, receives the graphics generated by the respective hosted software application and effects writing of those graphics to the video frame buffer for presentation on the display of the computing device.
