US 11,601,540 B2 · System and method for using a secondary device to access information stored remotely

Abstract

A system and method allows for access to the contacts of one person on a second person's device, without affecting the content on the second person's device. The contact information, and other information that is stored on a first person's device, can be temporarily downloaded onto a second person's device for making calls or accessing the other information, thereby allowing for contact with someone. Upon logging out of the system on the second device, the information from the first person is deleted. This allows the first person to contact others when the first person's phone is not available for some reason. The system also allows for the downloading of more content and virtual access to the lost/stolen telephone to be able to locate the phone, control the phone or destroy the information on the phone.
