Abstract: The described embodiments transfer an activity from a source electronic device to a companion electronic device. The source electronic device receives activity information describing an activity performed in a first application at the source electronic device and broadcasts an activity advertisement comprising an activity identifier for the activity. Upon receiving the activity advertisement, the companion electronic device determines whether a second application that is associated with the first application is available at the companion electronic device. If the second application is available, the companion electronic device acquires extended activity data from the source electronic device and uses the extended activity data to configure the second application and commence performing the activity with the second application at the companion electronic device. The source electronic device may also forward activity-related information (e.g., information from a copy and paste clipboard in the source electronic device) to the companion electronic device.

Abstract: Application processes executing on a mobile device can interact with interfaces (e.g., routines of an application programming interface) exposed on that mobile device in order to establish a wireless connection either directly to a network (e.g., the Internet) or directly to an intermediary device through which the application processes can then communicate with the network indirectly. The intermediary device can communicate with the network on behalf of the mobile device. The application processes can remain unaware, in either case, of whether the interfaces are communicating with the network through the intermediary device or not. The interfaces can insulate the application processes from that fact. The use of the intermediary device can be transparent to the application processes, such that the manner in which the application processes transmit and receive data using the interfaces remains constant regardless of whether the intermediary device is involved.

Abstract translation: 在移动设备上执行的应用过程可以与在该移动设备上暴露的接口（例如，应用编程接口的例程）交互，以便直接建立到网络（例如，因特网）或直接到中间设备的无线连接 然后应用程序进程可以间接与网络通信。 中间设备可以代表移动设备与网络进行通信。 在任何一种情况下，应用程序进程都可以不知道接口是否通过中间设备与网络进行通信。 接口可以将应用程序过程与这一事实隔离开来。 中间设备的使用对于应用程序过程可能是透明的，使得应用程序处理使用接口发送和接收数据的方式保持不变，而不管中介设备是否涉及。
