1. A method comprising:
- providing a first user prompt on a first electronic device when a near field communication interface of the first electronic device is tapped to a near field communication interface of a second electronic device, wherein the first user prompt provides an option to transfer at least one of all files currently open in an application running on the second electronic device but not any other files;
communicating a request from the first electronic device to the second electronic device to send the at least one of all files currently open in the application running on the second electronic device when the option is selected;
receiving data associated with the at least one of all files currently open in the application running on the second electronic device in the first electronic device; and
providing a second user prompt on the first electronic device, wherein the second user prompt provides an option to open one or more copies of the at least one of all files currently open in the application running on the second electronic device on the first electronic device.

Abstract
Systems and methods of performing a simplified data transfer are provided. For example, a simplified data transfer system may include two or more devices configured to perform a simplified data transfer. The first device may be configured to save and transfer data associated with applications open on the first device. When the second device initiates communication, the first device may automatically send the open application data to the second device.

8. A method comprising:
-
establishing near field communication between a first electronic device and a second electronic device when the first electronic device is tapped to the second electronic device; receiving identification information from the first electronic device in the second electronic device via the near field communication; receiving network configuration information from the first electronic device in the second electronic device via the near field communication; establishing network communication between the first electronic device and the second electronic device based at least in part on the network configuration information; receiving in the second electronic device a request for data transfer to the first electronic device from the second electronic device via the network communication, wherein the request for data transfer comprises a request to transfer all currently open files associated with at least one of a plurality of applications currently open on the second electronic device but not any other files, wherein the plurality of applications comprises a subset of all applications currently open on the second electronic device; and transferring data associated with all of the open files from the second electronic device to the first electronic device via the network communication. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

11. A method comprising:
-
establishing network communication between a first electronic device and a second electronic device, wherein the first electronic device includes data open on a plurality of open applications running on the first electronic device; providing a user prompt on the second electronic device with an option to initiate a file transfer activity between the first electronic device and the second electronic device to transfer at least some of the data currently open on the plurality of open applications running on the first electronic device but not to transfer substantially any other data; communicating a request from the second electronic device to the first electronic device via the network communication to initiate the file transfer activity when the option to initiate the file transfer activity is selected, wherein the request comprises a request to transfer the at least some of the data currently open on the plurality of open applications running on the first electronic device but not to transfer substantially any other data; and receiving in the second electronic device the requested data via the network communication in response to the request to initiate the file transfer activity. - View Dependent Claims (12)
