Claim 8:
9. A system for transferring a user session to a target device, the system comprising:
a target device including
a network interface configured to receive a user session transfer request and session data from a source device and configured to send a user session termination signal to the source device;
a memory configured to store the session data and computer executable instructions; and
a session transfer module including at least one processor configured to execute the computer executable instructions to:
receive a request to transfer a user session from the source device to the target device;
in response to receiving the request to transfer the user session, transmit a session data request to the source device, wherein said session data is associated with the running session between the source device and the session end point device;
subsequent to transmitting the session data request, receive session data corresponding to the user session transfer request, said session data including at least a name of an application launched by the source device to establish the user session with the session end point device;
upon receiving the request to transfer the user session and the session data, initiate a session transfer process with a session transfer server, wherein the session transfer server determines a launch application that is required to be launched by the target device to take over the user session with the session end point device;
initiate a transfer of the user session by launching the launch application determined by the session transfer server;
upon the launch of the launch application, establish a communication channel with the session end point device, and negotiate resolution parameters for the new session when establishing the communication channel with the session end point device; and
terminate the user session at the source device by sending a user session terminate signate to the source device.
