Cloud hosted device instances method and apparatus

Abstract:

Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to instantiate local and persistent core device instances within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data processing used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods provide systems and methods for cloud hosted device instances. The systems and methods provide a platform for creating cloud hosted device instances, each of which provides compute and memory resources for a device user. The systems and methods provide a core cloud service to centrally manage device data and deploy (and redeploy) local (or "lightweight") device instances close to a device.
