Method and apparatus for binding user interface elements and granular reflective processing

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
• the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
• determine to detect an event, from a first device, for specifying one or more user interface elements for transfer to a second device;
• identify one or more processes bound to the user interface elements;
• determine at least one of a user context, an execution context within the user context, and one or more other execution contexts for the one or more processes, wherein the one or more other execution contexts are from at least one of the user context and one or more other user contexts;
• cause, at least in part, serialization of at least one of the user context, the execution context, and the one or more other execution contexts;
• and
• cause, at least in part, transmission of the serialization to the second device to initiate reconstruction of the at least one of the user context, the execution context, and the one or more other execution contexts, wherein
• the user context includes information, functions, and/or processes, the execution context within the user context includes memory states, processor states, and related information when executing the functions and/or processes for the user context, and the other execution contexts for the one or more processes includes memory states, processor states, and related information when executing the one or more processes.

A computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following steps:

• determining to detect an event, from a first device, for specifying one or more user interface elements for transfer to a second device;
• identifying one or more processes bound to the user interface elements;
• determining at least one of a user context, an execution context within the user context, and one or more other execution contexts for the one or more processes, wherein the one or more other execution contexts are from at least one of the user context and one or more other user contexts;
• causing, at least in part, serialization of at least one of the user context, the execution context, and the one or more other execution contexts;
• and
• determining to transmit the serialization to the second device to initiate reconstruction of the at least one of the user context, the execution context, and the one or more other execution contexts, wherein
• the user context includes information, functions, and/or processes, the execution context within the user context includes memory states, processor states, and related information when executing the functions and/or processes for the user context, and the other execution contexts for the one or more processes includes memory states, processor states, and related information when executing the one or more processes.
