Method and apparatus for synchronizing tasks performed by multiple devices

摘要

Provided herein is a method, which may include an indication that is received that a view of a task is presented by a first device. State information may be provided to a second device to permit the second device to be synchronized with the first device and to present a view of the task, either the same view or a different view than that presented by the first device. Information may also be received relating to a change in state of the task that is provided by one of the devices while a first view of the task is presented thereupon. Further, updated state information may be provided to another one of the devices to cause the other device to remain synchronized and to update a second view of the task that is presented.
