Abstract
A computer streaming system includes a remote user device and a host streaming unit. The host streaming unit determines input methods suitable for the remote user device to interact with content streamed to the remote user using a selected application. The host streaming unit detects whether a user interface of the selected application is supported by the remote user device and dynamically institutes emulated native input support for the remote user device when the host streaming unit detects the user interface of the selected application is not supported by the remote user device. Additionally, the host streaming unit dynamically dismisses emulated native input support for the remote user device when the host streaming unit detects the user interface of the selected application is supported by the remote user device, causing the remote user device to return to native input control. Also provided is a method of streaming a computer application.
