An apparatus comprises a clipboard monitor 10 at a first device 2. The clipboard monitor 10 is operatively coupled to a data management module 21. The clipboard monitor 10 is configured to receive metadata (e.g. format, source of the data) associated with data acquired in an acquire operation at the first device 2. The clipboard monitor 10 is configured to send the metadata to the data management module 21 in response to the acquire operation. The clipboard monitor 10 is configured to receive a request associated with a paste operation at a second device 12. The clipboard monitor 10 is configured to provide the data to the second device 12 in response to the request via the data management module 21. The clipboard monitor 10 may be configured to send location information associated with clipboard monitor 10 to the data management module during initialisation of the clIpboard monitor. There are number of other embodiments disclosed some of which include maintaining an index of metadata by the data management module 21. |
