Architecture that facilitates a user experience for continuing computer and/or application tasks across user devices. Task status can be synchronized across devices via a cloud service or via a short-range wireless peer-to-peer (P2P). When applied to searching, for example, the user experience enables users to resume the same search session across devices in several ways. The disclosed architecture can also be extended to other tasks such as web browsing, online meetings, office application sessions, etc. The client application of each device collects the states of each application (e.g., document links, websites, online meeting information, etc.) as part of the synchronization, and uses the states to resume the same applications on different devices (e.g., open the same word processing document, a browser to the same websites, re-join online meetings, etc.). |

1. A system, comprising:
a selection component that enables selection of a task of a first device to continue on a second device; a state component that captures context state on the first device associated with the task based on the selection; a notification component that sends a notification to the second device to continue the task; a gesture component that interprets a received gesture to resume the task on the second device; a synchronization component that synchronizes state of the second device to the context state to resume the task on the second device; and at least one microprocessor that executes computer-executable instructions associated with each of the selection component, the notification component, the gesture component, the state component, and the synchronization component. |
