Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for transferring a state of an application from a first computing device to a second computing device, the method comprising: receiving from a first computing device, a first request to transfer a state of a first application on the first computing device, to a second computing device, wherein the first request is based on the second computing device being within a predetermined proximity of the first computing device, wherein the state of the first application corresponds to a first session of the first application on the first computing device, and wherein the second application on the second computing device is configured to restore the state of the first application to continue the first session within the second application; sending to the second computing device, based on the first request, a second request for an approval to initiate a transfer of the state of the first application from the first computing device to the second computing device; receiving from the second computing device, in response to sending the second request, an approval to initiate the transfer of the state of the first application from the first computing device to the second computing device; receiving from the first computing device, based on the received approval, the state of the first application; and sending the received state of the first application to the second computing device.
