Application state backup and restoration across multiple devices

An apparatus for application state synchronization, the apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• receive application state data from an electronic device, wherein the application state data represents an application state of a computer application running at the electronic device when a backup event occurs;
• perform an analysis based on at least one of a user profile or a usage pattern of a user;
• identify a set of electronic devices based on the analysis;
• transmit the application state data to the set of electronic devices;
• and
• send an instruction to each electronic device of the set of electronic devices, the instruction instructing each electronic device to run an instance of the computer application on each electronic device, respectively, by resuming the application state based on the application state at the backup event, the instruction causing a respective electronic device of the set to start to run the instance of the computer application based on the user starting to use the respective electronic device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by one or more processors to configure the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, by the one or more processors, application state data from an electronic device, wherein the application state data represents an application state of a computer application running at the electronic device when a backup event occurs;
• performing an analysis based on at least one of a user profile or a usage pattern of a user;
• identifying a set of electronic devices based on the analysis;
• transmitting the application state data to the set of electronic devices;
• and
• sending an instruction to each electronic device of the set of electronic devices, the instruction instructing each electronic device to run an instance of the computer application on each electronic device, respectively, by resuming the application state based on the application state at the backup event, the instruction causing a respective electronic device of the set to start to run the instance of the computer application based on the user starting to use the respective electronic device.
