Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments enabling a saved state of an application to be stored at a central location and to be retrieved by multiple computing devices executing the application. Accordingly, saved states of applications and interfaces are also enabled to follow a user from one personal computing device to the next.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- identifying, by a computing device, a first user as a current user of a first application of the computing device;
- identifying, by the computing device, a second user as a current user of a second application of the computing device;
- obtaining, by the computing device, first entitlement data for the first application from a first entitlement locker associated with the first user, the first entitlement locker residing at a remote network storage location, wherein the first entitlement data comprises at least one content file for the first application;
- obtaining, by the computing device, second entitlement data for the second application from a second entitlement locker associated with the second user, the second entitlement locker residing at the remote network storage location, wherein the second entitlement data comprises at least one content file for the second application;
- and
- processing, by the computing device, the first entitlement data via the first application concurrently with processing the second entitlement data via the second application.

A method comprising:
- identifying, by a computing device, a first user as a current user of a first application of the computing device;
- identifying, by the computing device, a second user as a current user of a second application of the computing device;
- obtaining, by the computing device, a first saved state data file for the first application from a first entitlement locker associated with the first user, the first entitlement locker residing at a remote network storage location;
- obtaining, by the computing device, a second saved state data file for the second application from a second entitlement locker associated with the second user, the second entitlement locker residing at the remote network storage location;
- and
- resuming, by the computing device, a state of the first application to correspond to the first saved state data file and a state of the second application to correspond to the second saved state data file.

A system comprising:
- a computing device;
- and
- a locker management application executable in the computing device, the locker management application configured to at least:
- identifying, by a processor of the computing device, a first user as a current user of a first application of the computing device;
- identifying, by the processor of the computing device, a second user as a current user of a second application of the computing device;
- obtaining, by the processor of the computing device, first entitlement data for the first application from a first entitlement locker associated with the first user, the first entitlement locker residing at a remote network storage location, wherein the first entitlement data comprises at least one content file for the first application;
- obtaining, by the processor of the computing device, second entitlement data for the second application from a second entitlement locker associated with the second user, the second entitlement locker residing at the remote network storage location, wherein the second entitlement data comprises at least one content file for the second application;
- and
- processing, by the processor of the computing device, the first entitlement data via the first application concurrently with processing the second entitlement data via the second application.
