Abstract:
1. A method for providing a follow-me service, comprising: receiving, through a computing device having a processor and a memory, a first link to a reference table from a portable token when the portable token is within a proximity to the computing device, and access control data, the reference table comprising a second link corresponding to a first state of an on-going web application; retrieving, through the computing device, the second link from the reference table via the first link, wherein retrieving the second link from the reference table via the first link further comprises opening the on-going web application corresponding to the second link on a web browser configured to execute on the computing device; upon opening the on-going web application on the web browser, updating, through the computing device, the second link in the reference table to reflect a second state of the on-going web application; receiving, through the computing device, an indication that the portable token is outside the proximity of the computing device; upon receiving the indication that the portable token is outside the proximity of the computing device, determining, through the computing device, whether the reference table reflects a current state of the on-going web application; upon determining that the reference table does not reflect the current state of the on-going web application, updating, through the computing device, the second link in the reference table to reflect the current state of the on-going web application; and upon determining that the reference table reflects the current state of the on-going web application or upon updating the second link in the reference table to reflect the current state of the on-going web application, closing the on-going web application on the web browser.
