TASK-CONTEXT ARCHITECTURE FOR EFFICIENT DATA SHARING

摘要

To provide a more seamless experience across multiple devices, task streaming systems and methods allow a user to create "task-contexts" and manage metadata of files stored across multiple data storage devices and user preferences associated with capabilities of the multiple devices for operating on the file. Furthermore, the task streaming systems and methods are provided to allow task-contexts to be shared from one device to another device. A task-context specifies one or more files and one or more operations to be performed on the one or more files. By providing a task-context from one device to the other device, a user can accomplish a task with a particular file and seamlessly transition between devices with minimal disruption and effort.
