Claim:
1. A method for switching an electronic social presence between a first device and a second device, the method comprising: receiving, by one or more processors, an electronic signal indicating a signing in to a social presence server by the first device; determining, by one or more processors, whether the first device and the second device are physically located farther apart than a first predetermined distance, wherein said determining whether the first device and the second device are physically located farther apart than the first predetermined distance is determined by a Bluetooth™ sensor that detects a presence of, or absence of, a Bluetooth™ connection between the first device and the second device, wherein the Bluetooth™ connection is used exclusively to determine whether the first device and the second device are physically located farther apart than the first predetermined distance, and wherein a WiFi communication mechanism is used to transfer the history associated with the electronic social presence from the first device to the second device; determining, by one or more processors, whether the second device complies with a company security standard required to receive information from the social presence server; in response to determining that the first device and the second device are physically located farther apart than the first predetermined distance and in response to determining that the second device complies with the company security standard, one or more processors signing out from the social presence server on the first device, signing in to the social presence server on the second device, and transferring a history associated with the electronic social presence from the first device to the second device; initiating, by one or more processors, a file download onto the first device; in response to determining that the first device and the second device are physically located farther apart than the first predetermined distance, one or more processors pausing the file download onto the first device without continuing the file download on the second device; and in response to subsequently determining that the first device and the second device are physically located within the first predetermined distance of each other, one or more processors resuming the file download onto the first device.
