Embodiment Construction

[0071] The following description sets forth exemplary methods, parameters, etc. It should be appreciated, however, that this description is not intended as a limitation on the scope of the disclosure, but rather is provided as a description of exemplary embodiments.

[0072] Electronic devices need to allow users to efficiently switch from the use of one device to another. For example, if a user is using an application on a first device, it would be helpful to have a second device—the device the user is transitioning to—automatically launch the same application so that the user can continue without losing progress. Such techniques can reduce the cognitive burden on a user regarding switching between the use of multiple computing devices, thereby increasing productivity. Additionally, this technique can reduce processor and battery power that would otherwise be wasted on redundant user inputs.

[0073] the following, Figures 1A-1B , 2, 3, 4A-4D, 16, and 23-42 provide descri...

Abstract

The invention relates to continuity. At an electronic device, detecting a compatible external device, where the external device is executing or has executed a first application. The detection may be made wirelessly. The electronic device also receives usage information regarding the first application from the external device. Display an affordance for user selection based on the received information. When the affordance is selected, launch a second application on the electronic device, the second application corresponding to the first application. In some examples, the second application is a different version of the first application. Launching the second application may additionally include bringing the second application to the same state as the first application. For example, if e-mail is being drafted on the external device, the electronic device may launch an e-mail editor showing the draft. In this way, a user can seamlessly transition from the use of one electronic device to another electronic device.
