Data session handoff using bone conduction

A first user device comprising:

• a network component;
• a first transducer;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the first user device to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, via the first transducer, a handoff request from a second user device, wherein the first user device and the second user device are in physical contact with a user, wherein the first user device is in an active data session with a service via a network, wherein the handoff request comprises an address of the second user device and further comprises instructions instructing the first user device to handoff the active data session to the second user device, wherein the second user device generates the handoff request in response to detecting, via a sensor of the second user device, that the second user device is in physical contact with the user, and wherein the handoff request is received by the first user device via a bone conduction signal that is sent by a second transducer of the second user device and that is propagated through a bone of the user in physical contact with the first user device and the second user device, and
• initiating handoff of the active data session to the second user device in response to the handoff request.

A method comprising:

• detecting, by a sensor of a user device, that a user is in physical contact with the user device;
• in response to detecting, by the sensor of the user device, that the user is in physical contact with the user device, generating, by the user device, a handoff request, wherein the handoff request comprises an address of the user device and further comprises an instruction directed to a further user device that the user is also in physical contact with and that is in an active data session with a service via a network, the instruction instructing the further user device in physical contact with the user and in the active data session with the service via the network to hand off the active data session to the user device;
• sending, by a transducer of the user device, the handoff request to the further user device via a bone conduction signal that propagates through a bone of the user in physical contact with the user device and the further user device;
• and
• receiving, by the user device, handoff of the active data session from the further user device.
