Abstract
A method includes selecting a target mobile device based on information regarding a power storage level of the particular mobile device. The method further includes transmitting program context information associated with a task of the first mobile device to a network accessible storage device. The method further includes transmitting a notification regarding the program context information to the target mobile device. The present disclosure describes a power and task (data and/or voice) handover system that enables a user to transfer task(s) from one mobile device to another mobile device using a network (wired or wireless) based handover scheme.
Claims38
A method comprising:
- selecting a target mobile device based on information regarding a power storage level of the target mobile device;
- transmitting program context information associated with a task of a first mobile device, through a connection using a network, to a network accessible storage device;
- and
- transmitting a notification, from the first mobile device directly to the target mobile device, through a connection outside the network that uses lower electrical power to transmit data than the connection using the network, wherein the notification indicates that the program context information is available at the network accessible storage device.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a second mobile device, a notification directly from a first mobile device through a connection outside a first network, wherein the notification indicates that program context information is available at a network accessible storage device;
- and
- in response to the notification, retrieving program context information associated with a task of the first mobile device from the network accessible storage device through a connection using the first network, wherein the connection outside the first network uses lower electrical power to transmit data than the connection using the first network.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
- select a target mobile device based on information regarding a power storage level of the target mobile device;
- initiate transmission of program context information associated with a task of a first mobile device, through a connection using a network, to a network accessible storage device;
- and
- initiate transmission of a notification, from the first mobile device directly to the target mobile device, through a connection outside the network that uses lower electrical power to transmit data than the connection using the network, wherein the notification indicates that the program context information is available at the network accessible storage device.
4 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
- receive a notification, at a second mobile device, directly from a first mobile device through a connection outside a first network, wherein the notification indicates that program context information is available at a network accessible storage device, and
- retrieve, at a second mobile device, the program context information associated with a task of the first mobile device from the network accessible storage device through a connection using the first network in response to the notification, wherein the connection outside the first network uses lower electrical power to transmit data than the connection using the first network.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- means for selecting a target mobile device based on information regarding a power storage level of the target mobile device;
- means for transmitting program context information associated with a task of a first mobile device, through a connection using a network, to a network accessible storage device;
- and
- means for transmitting a notification, from the first mobile device directly to the target mobile device, through a connection outside the network that uses lower electrical power to transmit data than the connection using the network, wherein the notification indicates that the program context information is available at the network accessible storage device.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- means for receiving, at a second mobile device, a notification directly from a first mobile device through a connection outside a first network, wherein the notification indicates that program context information is available at a network accessible storage device;
- and
- means for retrieving program context information associated with a task of the first mobile device from the network accessible storage device through a connection using the first network in response to the notification, wherein the connection outside the first network uses lower electrical power to transmit data than the connection using the first network.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising processor-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- select a target mobile device based on information regarding a power storage level of the target mobile device;
- initiate transmission of program context information associated with a task of a first mobile device, through a connection using a network, to a network accessible storage device;
- and
- initiate transmission of a notification, from the first mobile device directly to the target mobile device, through a connection outside the network that uses lower electrical power to transmit data than the connection using the network, wherein the notification indicates that the program context information is available at the network accessible storage device.
