SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR APPLICATION SESSION CONTINUITY
First Claim
1. A method for transferring an application session from a first device to a second device comprising:
- on the first device, running a first application that consumes application-related data from a server;
obtaining session data from the first application, the session data capturing a current state of the first application and further indicative of a state of the application-related data being consumed by the first application;
transferring said session data to the second device;
using at least one of said first and second devices to communicate a session transfer request to the server which causes the server to direct said application-related data to the second device;
on the second device, running a second application that uses the session data to consume the application-related data from said server according to the state of the application-related data captured by the session data from the first application.

Abstract
A first device pairs with a second device via local communication and then transfers a server-implemented application session from the first device to the second device by saving as session data the current state of the first application, and the state of the application-related data being consumed. This session data is then transferred to the second device, which then runs a second application based on the state supplied by the session data. One or both of the devices communicates a session transfer request to the server, causing the server to re-route application-related data to the second device to be consumed by the second application at the state where consumption by the first application was transferred.
