SHARING WEB APPLICATION SESSIONS ACROSS MULTIPLE DEVICES

摘要

A technique to at least partial transfer an active network communication session associated with a server and an authenticated user communicating through a first device. The at least partial transfer includes the following actions (not necessarily in the following order): (i) recording the network communication session on an inline network device; (ii) associating the network communication session with the second device on the inline network device; and (iii) sending session continuation information from the inline network device to at least the second device and/or the server. The first device is in data communication with the inline network device during at least a portion of the recording step. The session continuation information sent at the sending step includes information enabling the user to continue the active network communication session through the second device. The inline network device performs at least the associating step and the sending step under control of computer software running on computer hardware.

1. A process for at least partial transfer of an active network communication session associated with a server and an authenticated user communicating through a first device, the process comprising:
recording the network communication session on an inline network device; associating the network communication session with the second device on the inline network device; and sending session continuation information from the inline network device to at least one of the following: the second device and the server; wherein: the first device is in data communication with the inline network device during at least a portion of the recording step; the session continuation information sent at the sending step includes information enabling the user to continue the active network communication session through the second device; and the inline network device performs at least the associating step and the sending step under control of computer software running on computer hardware.
