Switching states between two computing devices
First Claim
1. A method for switching use between a first computing device and a second computing device, the method being performed by one or more processors of the first computing device and comprising:
- detecting an event while a first application is operated on the first computing device; and
in response to detecting an event, (i) automatically transmitting data for the first application to the second computing device, and (ii) automatically initiating a second application on the second computing device, the second application having a functionality that is equivalent to a functionality of the first application and that utilizes the data transmitted from the first device in performing one or more operations.

Abstract
A method for switching use between a first computing device and a second computing device is provided. The method may be performed by the first computing device. An event is detected while a first application is operated on the first computing device. In response to detecting the event, data corresponding to the first application is automatically transmitted to the second computing device, and a second application is automatically initiated on the second computing device. The second application has a functionality that is equivalent to the functionality of the first application on the first computing device and utilizes the data transmitted from the first device in performing one or more operations.

9. A computing device comprising:
-
a communication port; one or more processors coupled to the communication port; and a memory resource coupled to the one or more processors, the memory resource storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to; detect an event while a first application is operated on the first computing device; and in response to detecting an event, (i) automatically transmit data for the first application to the second computing device, and (ii) automatically initiate a second application on the second computing device, the second application having a functionality that is equivalent to a functionality of the first application and that utilizes the data transmitted from the first device in performing one or more operations. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
