Seamless integration of portable computing devices and desktop computers
First Claim
1. A system that facilitates device interactions between a first device and a second device, comprising:
- a detection component that senses a first device in a wireless communication range of a second device; and
a coupling component that automatically facilitates collaboration of a service between the first device and the second device based at least in part upon a state of the first device.

Abstract
Portable computing devices automatically interface with other computing devices to interact in a collaborative effort toward providing a single, seamless computing experience for a user. As a user walks into a room with a cellular telephone certain functionality and data can be automatically unloaded to a desktop computer or other device based on a user or device identification or state. For example, a conversation on a cellular telephone can be automatically migrated to a desktop telephone as a user sits down. As a user is about to leave a room for a meeting, the desktop computer can update the telephone with latest versions of certain files. Thus, devices can automatically aggregate and/or decouple to provide a user with a single computing experience. These portable devices can broadcast an extensible set of services to other devices as well as to a host computer or server.

16. A computer-implemented method of integrating devices, comprising:
-
detecting a first device in a wireless communication range of a second device;
automatically broadcasting a data signal from the first device to a second device; and
collaborating a service between the first device with the second device to establish a unified computing experience. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A system that facilitates aggregating a service between a first device and a second device, comprising:
-
means for detecting the first device in wireless communication with the second device;
means for authenticating the first device to establish a permission to communicate with the second device;
means for coupling the first device with the second device based at least in part upon the permission;
means for automatically transferring a service from one of the first device and the second device to the other of the first device and the second device; and
means for aggregating the transferred service with at least one existing service of the other of the first device and the second device. - View Dependent Claims (20)
