Abstract
Disclosed are methods and apparatuses to share application state across devices. This approach allows the user to switch devices and have the application on the new device share the same state as the previous device. In addition, this approach allows the user to shut down a device at a first point in time, and later be presented with the same state for the application at a second point in time on the same device when it is turned back on.
Claims39
A computer implemented method for using continuous application state, comprising:
- accessing an application at a first device by an entity, wherein the application is associated with an application state;
- saving the application state to generate a saved application state;
- changing access for the application by the entity to a second device;
- and
- restoring the saved application state so that the entity is provided access to the application state at the second device.
A computer program product embodied on a computer usable medium, the computer readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a processor causes the processor to execute a method, the method comprising:
- accessing an application at a first device by an entity, wherein the application is associated with an application state;
- saving the application state to generate a saved application state;
- changing access for the application by the entity to a second device;
- and
- restoring the saved application state so that the entity is provided access to the application state at the second device.
A system for implementing continuous application state, comprising:
- a first device usable by an entity to access an application, wherein the application is associated with an application state;
- a second device usable by the entity to access the application with the application state;
- a memory corresponding to a computer readable storage medium;
- and
- a processor that programmed to save the application state to generate a saved application state, wherein changing access for the application by the entity from the first device to the second device causes restoration of the saved application state such that that the entity is provided access to the application state at the second device.
