First Claim
Patent Images
1. A communication system, said communication system comprising:
- a first device;
an inter-device linking system linked to said first device, said inter-device linking system operating to;
detect that information cannot be presented on said first device;
determine whether a second device capable of presenting said information is linked to said inter-device linking system;
send a request for presentation of said information to said second device when said determining determines that said second device is linked to said inter-device linking system; and
wherein said second device is capable of presenting said information.

Abstract
Improved techniques for presentation of information on devices operating in communication systems are disclosed. An inter-device linking system can be used to inter-link various devices operating in the communication system. The inter-device linking system can detect when information cannot be presented on a first device. Moreover, the inter-device linking system can facilitate presentation of information on a second device. This allows the user to conveniently inter-link various communication devices. As a result, the user can conveniently schedule a device to present information while working on another device.

16. A method for presenting information on devices operating in a communication system, said method comprising:
-
detecting that information cannot be presented on a first device operating in said communication system;
sending a request for presentation of information when said detecting detects that information cannot be presented on said first device;
determining whether said information can be presented by a second device operating in said communication system; and
forwarding said request for presentation of information to said second device when said determining determines that said information can be presented by said second device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A communication system, said communication system comprising:
-
a first device;
an inter-device linking server;
a first inter-device linking client associated with said first device, said first inter-device linking client operating to detect that information associated with a hypertext link cannot be presented by said first device and wherein said first inter-device linking client also operates to send a linking request to said inter-device linking server when said first inter-device linking client determines that said information cannot be presented by said first device;
wherein said inter-device linking server operates to determine whether a second device in said communication system which is capable of presenting said information is linked to said inter-device linking server when said linking request is received from said first inter-device linking client;
wherein said inter-device linking server operates to forward said request for presentation of said information to a second inter-device linking client associated with a second device when said inter-device linking server determines that said information can be presented by said second device;
wherein said inter-device linking server operates to queue said request when said inter-device linking server determines that said information cannot be presented by said second device; and
wherein said inter-device linking server operates to forward said queued request to said second inter-device linking client when said second device which is capable of presentation of said information becomes linked to said inter-device linking server. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A computer readable media including computer program code for presenting information on devices operating in a communication system, said computer readable media comprising:
-
computer program code for detecting that information cannot be presented on a first device operating in said communication system;
computer program code for sending a request for presentation of information when said detecting detects that information cannot be presented on said first device;
computer program code for determining whether said information can be presented by a second device operating in said communication system; and
computer program code for forwarding said request for presentation of information to said second device when said determining determines that said information can be presented by said second device. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30)
