Session mobility using digital items

A method of transferring a digital item session state between at least two devices using digital items to deliver content to a user depending upon which of the at least two devices is closer to the user, the method including the following steps:

• i) a second of the devices rendering content to the user when said second device is relatively closer to the user than any other device of the at least two devices;
• ii) providing a content digital item to a first device;
• iii) transferring one or more context digital items representing a session state of the context digital item from the second device to said first device;
• and
• iv) said first device configuring said content digital item according to predetermined requirements;
• v) said first device configuring said content digital item on the basis of the context digital item or items;
• iv) said first device rendering content to the user when the first device is relatively closer to the user than said second device;
• and
• wherein steps iv) and v) may be performed in any order.

Apparatus for transferring a digital item session state between at least two devices using digital items to render content to a user, the apparatus including:

• i) means for providing a content digital item to a first device;
• ii) said first device including means for configuring said content digital item according to predetermined requirements;
• iii) means for transferring one or more context digital items representing a session state of the content digital item from a second device to said first device;
• iv) said first device including means for configuring said content digital item on the basis of the context digital item;
• v) said first and second devices including means for rendering content to the user;
• and
• wherein said first device renders content to the user when the first device is relatively closest to the user and said second device renders content to the user when the second device is relatively closest to the user.

A method of configuring a content digital item, the method including the following steps:

• i) providing said content digital item to a configuration device;
• ii) said configuration device configuring said content digital item according to predetermined requirements;
• iii) providing and storing one or more context digital items representing a session state of the content digital item;
• iv) said configuration device configuring said content digital item on the basis of the context digital item or item ;
• and
• i) rendering content to a user through one of a first and second device depending upon which of the first and second device is relatively closest to the user.

Apparatus for configuring a content digital item, the apparatus including:

• i) means for providing a content digital item to at least one of a first and second device;
• ii) said at least one of the first and second device including means for configuring said content digital item according to predetermined requirements;
• iii) means for providing and storing one or more context digital items representing a session state of the content digital item;
• and
• iv) said at least one of said first and second device further including means for configuring said content digital item on the basis of the context digital item;
• and
• v) said first and second devices including means for rendering content to the user;
• and
• wherein said first device renders content to the user when the first device is relatively closest to the user and said second device renders content to the user when the second device is relatively closest to the user.
