System and method of establishing communication between electronic devices

A computer readable storage medium encoded with program instructions that, when executed, cause a processor in a secondary device to execute a method, the method comprising:

• receiving a signal periodically from a primary device based on a power level of the primary device, wherein a previous association exists between the primary device and the secondary device;
• in response to the secondary device ceasing to receive the signal that is being sent periodically from the primary device, sending a notification to a contact device to inform the contact device to send a communication request to the secondary device;
• receiving the communication request from the contact device;
• and
• establishing a communication session with the contact device.

A method comprising:

• detecting, by a primary device, a power level of the primary device, the primary device being in a communication session with a contact device;
• determining, by the primary device, a secondary device associated with the primary device when the power level has been detected to reach a predetermined threshold;
• sending, by the primary device, a message to the secondary device, the message indicating that the secondary device should notify the contact device when a set of criteria has been satisfied;
• and
• causing the secondary device to notify the contact device and establish a new communication session when the set of criteria has been satisfied.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a server, an indication that a power level of a primary device has reached a threshold value, the primary device being in a communication session with a contact device;
• determining, by the server, a secondary device associated with the primary device;
• periodically sending a pinging signal to the primary device and receiving a response signal from the primary device;
• and
• upon ceasing to receive the response signal from the primary device, sending, by the server, a notification to the contact device to cause the contact device to send a communication request to the secondary device.
