APPROACHES FOR SHARING DATA BETWEEN ELECTRONIC DEVICES
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for sharing data between user devices, comprising:
- displaying data on a display of a first device, at least a portion of the data corresponding to one or more telephone numbers;
receiving a first user selection of a telephone number of the one or more telephone numbers;
in response to receiving the first user selection of the telephone number,determining one or more devices within a specified proximity of the first device and capable of initiating a telecommunication call with the telephone number at a current period of time; and
displaying, on the display of the first device, a listing of the one or more devices determined to be within the specified proximity of the first device and capable of initiating the telecommunication call with the telephone number at the current period of time;
receiving a second user selection of a second device of the one or more devices; and
in response to receiving the second user selection, sending the telephone number from the first device to the second device to cause the second device to execute a telephony application and automatically dial the telephone number using the telephony application.

Abstract
Systems and approaches arc provided to enable multiple user devices to share data between devices. In one scenario, a user may click on or touch a telephone hyperlink from a browser of a desktop computer to initiate a telephone call from the user'"'"'s mobile phone. In another situation, a user may begin various computing tasks from a tablet in the evening, share data associated relating to her work with a business computer, and complete her tasks the next day in the office with little to no minimal disruption to her work flow. In effect, the user may “cut” or “copy” data from a first personal computing device and paste that “data” onto a second computing device.
