Patent attributes
Disclosed are systems and methods for enabling a developer to use a local browser, running on a local machine of the developer in a first location to access real devices (e.g., smart phones) at a second location, such as a data center. The developer can select and control the remote devices, in the second location. The described embodiments can capture developer's inputs from the first location and input them to the remote device in the second location. A video stream of the remote device is transmitted to the browser in the first location and displayed in a replica canvas on the developer's browser. The developer can interact with the canvas on his/her browser, as if the remote device were present in the first location.
