Apparatus and method for managing application context

摘要

An apparatus and method for managing application context is provided. A first one of a plurality of terminals, each including at least one application, collects and transmits context information of the application to a migration server so that it is stored and managed in the migration server. The migration server transmits the stored and managed context information to a second terminal corresponding to the first terminal in response to a request of the second terminal. The second terminal restores context based on the context information received from the migration server. This can reproduce the same application and desktop environments as those previously set to be suitable for each work situation, thereby increasing user convenience.

a plurality of terminals, each of which includes at least one application, collects context information of the application, and restores context using the collected context information, by using connection Application Programming Interface (API), and a migration server that receives and stores collected context information from a first one of the plurality of terminals and transmits the context information to a second one of the plurality of terminals or vice versa, wherein a user is able to work on the second terminal with the same working state consists of the same application, user interface and data based on the context information received from the migration server from the user on the first terminal by correctly restoring a selected previous collected context information, which is the context information last worked on by the user on the first terminal, from the migration server by connecting to the migration server, and wherein the context information received by the second one of the plurality of terminals from the migration server from the last context information last worked on by the user on the first one of the plurality of terminals is unclassified or unmanageable to the second one of the plurality of terminals.
