Synchronization of data between an electronic computing mobile device and an electronic computing dockstation

摘要

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for synchronization of data between an electronic mobile device and an electronic computing dockstation. Embodiments include detecting, by the dockstation, completion of a docking procedure connecting the mobile device to the dockstation; identifying, by the dockstation, applications that are open on the mobile device; opening, by the dockstation, the identified applications on the dockstation; identifying, by the dockstation, files that are open on the mobile device; syncing, by the dockstation, the identified files with corresponding files within the dockstation, including updating an existing file within the dockstation; and opening on the dockstation, by the dockstation, the synced files with the open applications on the dockstation.

主权项

1. An apparatus for synchronization of data between an electronic mobile device and an electronic computing dockstation, the apparatus comprising a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions that when executed by the computer processor cause the apparatus to carry out the steps of:
detecting, by the dockstation executing only a first type of operating system, completion of a docking procedure connecting the mobile device to the dockstation, wherein the mobile device executes only a second type of operating system, wherein both the dockstation and the mobile device have the capability to operate as stand-alone computers; identifying, by the dockstation, applications that are open on the mobile device; opening, by the dockstation, the identified applications on the dockstation, wherein the applications on the mobile device are different versions of the corresponding applications on the dockstation; identifying, by the dockstation, files that are open on the mobile device; syncing, by the dockstation, the identified files with corresponding files within the dockstation, including updating an existing file within the dockstation; and opening on the dockstation, by the dockstation, the synced corresponding files with the open applications on the dockstation.
