1. A system for pairing a first computing device to a second computing device, the system comprising:
- a capture component stored in memory of the first computing device, wherein the capture component is programmed to optically capture visual information presented by the second computing device and associated with an identification of the second computing device;
a request component stored in memory of the first computing device, wherein the request component is programmed to transmit a request, from the first computing device to an authorization component at a remote location from the first computing device, to connect to the second computing device, the request including the captured visual information and information identifying the first computing device; and
a connection component stored in memory of the first computing device, wherein the connection component is programmed to establish a connection between the first computing device and the second computing device when the authorization component determines the first computing device is authorized to connect to the second computing device.

7. A method performed by a mobile device for transferring a computing environment from a first computing system to a second computing system, the method comprising:
-
at the first computing system, generating an identifier associated with a current state of a computing environment at the first computing system; and displaying the generated identifier; at the mobile device, optically capturing the displayed identifier; in response to the capture, receiving from the first computing system information associated with the computing environment; and causing the information associated with the computing environment to be transmitted to the second computing system; and at the second computing system, receiving the transmitted information; and presenting the computing environment. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
