Accordingly, saved states of applications and interfaces are also enabled to follow a user from one personal computing device to the next.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
obtaining, by a processor of at least one computing device from a data store, a state data file for a first application with respect to a first media file from an entitlement locker corresponding to a current user, wherein the state data file indicates a bookmark position in the first media file; translating, by the processor of at least one computing device, the state data file for the first application to a translated version of the state data file for a second application with respect to a second media file, wherein the second application is configured to present the second media file, the second media file is in a media format that is different from a media format of the first media file, and content of the second media file is related to content of the first media file; and providing, by the processor of at least one computing device over a data network, the translated version of the state data file to the second application, wherein the second application is configured to initiate presentation of the second media file at a position indicated by the translated version of the state data file which corresponds to the bookmark position in the first media file.
