RESTORATION OF A COMPUTING SESSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240211356 titled 'RESTORATION OF A COMPUTING SESSION
The method described in the abstract involves restoring a computing session by transferring session data from one device to another over a network. This session data includes information about active session items, such as web or native applications, on the first computing device. The method then restores these session items on a second computing device based on the session data, arranging them on the user interface in a manner that mirrors their display arrangement on the first device.
- The method involves transferring session data between computing devices to restore a computing session seamlessly.
- Session data includes information about active session items, such as web or native applications.
- The session items are restored on a second computing device based on the session data, maintaining their original display arrangement.
- This method allows users to continue their computing session on a different device without losing their progress.
- The user interface of the second device is organized to match the layout of the session items on the first device.
Potential Applications: - Remote work environments where users need to switch between devices while maintaining their session progress. - Multi-device gaming platforms that allow players to seamlessly transition between different devices. - Collaborative projects where team members can access and work on shared sessions from various devices.
Problems Solved: - Eliminates the need to manually transfer session data between devices, saving time and effort. - Ensures continuity in computing sessions, reducing disruptions and improving productivity. - Provides a seamless user experience across different devices, enhancing usability and convenience.
Benefits: - Improved workflow efficiency by enabling users to switch devices without interrupting their work. - Enhanced user experience through consistent session restoration on different devices. - Increased flexibility and mobility for users who need to access their sessions from multiple locations.
Commercial Applications: Title: Seamless Session Restoration Technology for Cross-Device Workflows This technology can be utilized in various industries such as remote work, gaming, and collaborative projects to enhance productivity and user experience. It can be integrated into software applications and platforms to provide seamless session continuity across different devices.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology ensure the security of session data during the transfer process? 2. What are the potential limitations or challenges of restoring complex session items on different devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
according to an aspect, a method of restoring a computing session includes receiving, over a network, session data from a server computer, where the session data includes information about at least one session item that is active during a computing session of a first computing device. the at least one session item includes at least one of a web application or a native application. the method includes restoring the at least one session item of the computing session on a second computing device based on the session data, where the at least one session item is arranged on a user interface of the second computing device according to a display arrangement that corresponds to a display arrangement of the at least one session item on a user interface of the first computing device.
